Proverbs 23:21-23
Wycliffe Bible
21 For men giving attention to drinks, and giving morsels together, shall be wasted, and napping shall be clothed with clothes rent. (For those giving attention to drinks, and giving morsels to each other, shall be wasted, or destroyed, and their napping shall eventually clothe them with torn clothes.)
22 Hear thy father, that begat thee (Listen to thy father, who begat thee); and despise not thy mother, when she is eld.
23 Buy thou truth, and do not thou sell (off) wisdom, and doctrine, and understanding.
