Buy The Truth From Your Father And Mother
Proverbs 23:22-25 (NIV)

22 Listen to your father, who gave you life,
and do not despise your mother when she is old.

23 Buy the truth and do not sell it—
wisdom, instruction and insight as well.

24 The father of a righteous child has great joy;
a man who fathers a wise son rejoices in him.

25 May your father and mother rejoice;
may she who gave you birth be joyful!

Proverbs Club Commentary

Children of righteous parents will be righteous
if they follow their wisdom and do not neglect it.
This brings joy to the parents.

22 Listen to your father, who gave you life,
and do not despise your mother when she is old.

Proverbs Club Commentary

Heed the advice of your father.
Cherish your mother.

19 Listen, my son, and be wise,
and set your heart on the right path:

20 Do not join those who drink too much wine
or gorge themselves on meat,

21 for drunkards and gluttons become poor,
and drowsiness clothes them in rags.

Proverbs Club Commentary

Stretch your budget.
Avoid gluttony and quaffing.

17 Do not let your heart envy sinners,
but always be zealous for the fear of the Lord.

18 There is surely a future hope for you,
and your hope will not be cut off.

NIV

then my heart will be glad indeed;

when your lips speak what is right.
