New Testament

Proverbs 23:20-24 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

20. Be not among heavy drinkers of wine Or with gluttonous eaters of meat;

21. For the drunkard and the glutton become poor, And slumber puts rags on a man.

22. Listen to your father who brought you forth, And do not despise your mother when she is old.

23. Buy the truth and do not sell it – Wisdom and discipline and understanding.

24. The father of the righteous greatly rejoices, And he who brings forth a wise one delights in him.
