Proverbs 23:22 in Context — Proverbs 23
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.
24 Mucho se alegrará el padre del justo: y el que engendró sabio se gozará con él.
