Proverbs 23:22
World English Bible (WEB)
Listen to your father who gave you life, and don’t despise your mother when she is old.
In context
20 Don’t be among ones drinking too much wine, or those who gorge themselves on meat;
21 for the drunkard and the glutton shall become poor; and drowsiness clothes them in rags.
22 Listen to your father who gave you life, and don’t despise your mother when she is old.
23 Buy the truth, and don’t sell it. Get wisdom, discipline, and understanding.
24 The father of the righteous has great joy. Whoever fathers a wise child delights in him.
