Proverbs 23:22 Hearken unto thy father that begat thee, and despise not thy mother when she is old.
23 Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding
We see here this first verse tells us that what a father and mother have for their children is only to help them to grow up to be responsible adults trusting and obeying them and the Lord. Also to respect their parents when they are on up in age. The next verse urges us to obtain and hold on to the truth at what ever cost. Everything in this world will pass away but the truth will stand forever. It also says we to to hold on to the wisdom and knowledge we gain with the same determination.
