Proverbs 23:21-23
Good News Translation

21 Drunkards and gluttons will be reduced to poverty. If all you do is eat and sleep, you will soon be wearing rags.

-16-

22 Listen to your father; without him you would not exist. When your mother is old, show her your appreciation.

23 Truth, wisdom, learning, and good sense—these are worth paying for, but too valuable for you to sell.
