Hearken unto thy father that begat thee, and despise not thy mother when she is old.

Proverbs 23:22

Memorize this verse

Hearken unto thy father that begat thee, and despise not thy mother when she is old.

When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what is before thee:

And put a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man given to appetite.

Be not desirous of his dainties: for they are deceitful meat.

Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom.
