Proverbs 23:22

World English Bible

Listen to your father who gave you life,
and don’t despise your mother when she is old.

Proverbs 23:22 in other translations

Hearken unto thy father that begat thee, And despise not thy mother when she is old.

20Don’t be among ones drinking too much wine,
or those who gorge themselves on meat:
21for the drunkard and the glutton shall become poor;
and drowsiness clothes them in rags.
22Listen to 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 righteous has great joy.
Whoever fathers a wise child delights in him.
