Proverbs 23:23

In context

21for the drunkard and the glutton come to poverty, and drowsiness dresses a man in rags. 22Listen to your father, who gave you life, and do not despise your mother when she is old. 23Buy truth and do not sell it—wisdom, discipline and understanding. 24The father of a righteous man rejoices greatly; whoever fathers a wise son will delight in him. 25Let your father and your mother be glad; let the one who bore you rejoice.
