Proverbs 23:19-25

¹⁹Hear thou, my son, and become wise, and guide thy heart on the right way.

²⁰Be not among those that drink wine immoderately, among those that over-indulge in eating flesh:

²¹For the drunkard and the glutton will come to poverty; and drowsiness clotheth a man in rags.

²²Hearken unto thy father that hath begotten thee, and despise not thy mother although she be old.

²³Buy the truth and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.

²⁴The father of the righteous will be greatly glad, and he that begetteth a wise child will have joy through him.

²⁵Let then thy father and thy mother rejoice, and let her that hath born thee be glad.
