Proverbs 23:22
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Listen to your father who gave you life, and do not despise your mother when she is old.
In context
20 Do not join those who drink too much wine or gorge themselves on meat.
21 For the drunkard and the glutton will come to poverty, and drowsiness will clothe them in rags.
22 Listen to your father who gave you life, and do not despise your mother when she is old.
23 Invest in truth and never sell it— in wisdom and instruction and understanding.
24 The father of a righteous man will greatly rejoice, and he who fathers a wise son will delight in him.
