Proverbs 23:22-25

GOD’S WORD Translation

²² Listen to your father since you are his son,
and do not despise your mother because she is old.
²³ Buy truth (and do not sell it),
⌞that is,⌟ buy wisdom, discipline, and understanding.
²⁴ A righteous person’s father will certainly rejoice.
Someone who has a wise son will enjoy him.
²⁵ May your father and your mother be glad.
May she who gave birth to you rejoice.
