Proverbs 23:21 in Context — Proverbs 23
19 Oye tú, hijo mío, y sé sabio, y endereza tu corazón al camino.
20 No estés con los bebedores de vino, ni con los comedores de carne:
21 Porque el bebedor y el comilón empobrecerán: y el sueño hará vestir vestidos rotos.
22 Oye á tu padre, á aquel que te engendró; y cuando tu madre envejeciere, no la menosprecies.
23 Compra la verdad, y no la vendas; la sabiduría, la enseñanza, y la inteligencia.
