Proverbs 23:21-23
The Voice
21 For both the drunk and the glutton will end up broke,
sleeping life away, and clothed in rags.
22 Pay attention to your father—after all, he gave you life—

23 Invest in truth, sock it away!
Never cash in wisdom, guidance, or insight.

23 Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.
