Proverbs 23:22 - The Message22-25 Listen with respect to the father who raised you, and when your mother grows old, don’t neglect her. Buy truth—don’t sell it for love or money; buy wisdom, buy education, buy insight. Parents rejoice when their children turn out well; wise children become proud parents. So make your father happy! Make your mother proud! See the chapterMore versionsKing James Version (Oxford) 176922 Hearken unto thy father that begat thee, And despise not thy mother when she is old.
