Proverbs 23:22 Listen to your father, who gave you life, and do not despise your mother when she is old.
We have discussed before that your father and your mother only want to help you. You are their own flesh, and they want even better for you than they had themselves.
Be glad when God is good to you and lets your parents live a long time.
The child in the home is to be willingly under the authority of parents with obedient submission to them as the agents of the Lord place over him, obeying parents as if obeying the Lord Himself. The reasoning here is simply that such is the way God has designed and required it.
Proverbs 23:23 Buy the truth, and do not sell it, Get wisdom and instruction and understanding.
Tell the truth at all cost. Whatever it takes of this world’s goods to learn the truth, do it. This world will pass away, but the truth is eternal. This “buy” is speaking of knowledge and understanding.
Obtain the truth at all costs. Then never relinquish it at any price.
