Proverbs 23:23

Learning From Your Father

²² Listen to the one who fathered you, and don't despise your mother in her old age. ²³ Purchase truth, but don't sell it; store up wisdom, instruction, and understanding. ²⁴ The father of a righteous person will greatly rejoice; whoever fathers a wise son will be glad because of him.
