The King James Version Bible

Proverbs 23:22-25

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

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

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

  4. Thy father and thy mother shall be glad, and she that bare thee shall rejoice.
