Proverbs 23:24

Learning From Your Father

²³ Buy truth, and do not sell it,
Get wisdom and instruction and understanding.
²⁴ The father of the righteous will greatly rejoice,
And he who sires a wise son will be glad in him.
²⁵ Let your father and your mother be glad,
And let her rejoice who gave birth to you.
