Proverbs 23:22-24

Good News Translation

-16-

²² Listen to your father; without him you would not exist. When your mother is old, show her your appreciation.

²³ Truth, wisdom, learning, and good sense—these are worth paying for, but too valuable for you to sell.

²⁴ A righteous person's parents have good reason to be happy. You can take pride in a wise child.
