21for the drunkard and the glutton shall become poor; and drowsiness clothes them in rags.
22Sh'ma ·Hear obey· your father who gave you life, and don’t despise your mother when she is old.
23Buy the truth, and don’t sell it. Get wisdom, discipline, and understanding.
24The father of the upright has great joy. Whoever fathers a wise child delights in him.
25Let your father and your mother be glad! Let her who bore you rejoice!
