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—
and don’t ignore your mother in her old age.
23 Invest in truth, sock it away!
Never cash in wisdom, guidance, or insight.
