Proverbs 23:19-26

¹⁹Hear thou, my son, and be wise, and guide thy heart in the way.

²⁰Be not among wine-bibbers; among riotous eaters of flesh:

²¹For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags.

²²Hearken to thy father that begat thee, and despise not thy mother when she is old.

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

²⁴The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice: and he that begetteth a wise child shall have joy of him.

²⁵Thy father and thy mother shall be glad, and she that bore thee shall rejoice.

²⁶My son, give me thy heart, and let thy eyes observe my ways.
