Proverbs 23:23

Learning From Your Father

²² Listen to your father who sired you, and do not despise your mother when she is old. ²³ Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding. ²⁴ The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice; and he who fathers a wise child shall have joy from him.
