Proverbs 23:22 - Forerunner Commentary

Proverbs 23:22

20 ^aDo not mix with winebibbers,
Or with gluttonous eaters of meat;

21 For the drunkard and the glutton will come to poverty,
And drowsiness will clothe a man with rags.

22 ^aListen to your father who begot you,
And do not despise your mother when she is old.

23 ^aBuy the truth, and do not sell it,
Also wisdom and instruction and understanding.

24 ^aThe father of the righteous will greatly rejoice,
And he who begets a wise child will delight in him.

25 Let your father and your mother be glad,
And let her who bore you rejoice.

26 My son, give me your heart,
And let your eyes observe my ways.

27 ^aFor a harlot is a deep pit,
And a seductress is a narrow well.
