Proverbs 23:21-23
New Catholic Bible
21 For the drunkard and the glutton will become impoverished,
and stupor will clothe them in rags.
22 Listen to your father who begot you,
and do not despise your mother[a] when she is old.
23 Buy truth and do not sell it;
this is wisdom, instruction, and understanding.
