SEV Biblia, Chapter 23:22

Oye a tu padre, a aquel que te engendró; y cuando tu madre envejeciere, no la menosprecies.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 23:22

Verse 22.
Despise not thy mother when she is old. ] A very necessary caution, as very old women are generally helpless, useless, and burdensome: yet these circumstances do not at all lessen the child's duty.

And this duty is strengthened by the Divine command here given.


John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 22. Hearken unto thy father that begat thee , etc.] And who has a true and hearty affection for thee, and whatever he says is for thy good and welfare, which he studies and has at heart; and who therefore also has an authority over thee, and what he enjoins ought to be strictly regarded; and, having lived longer in the world, must be thought to have a larger experience and knowledge of things, and therefore should be hearkened unto; and despise not thy mother when she is old ; despise not her counsels, instructions, and advice, though she is old; and because she is so, do not reject them as old wives’ fables, or as the silly talk of an old woman, as young men are too apt to do.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 19-28 - The gracious Saviour who
purchased pardon and peace for his people with all the affection of a tender parent, counsels us to hear and be wise, and is ready to guide our hearts in his way. Here we have a earnest call to young people, to attend to the advice of their godl parents. If the heart be guided, the steps will be guided. Buy the truth, and sell it not; be willing to part with any thing for it. D not part with it for pleasures, honours, riches, or any thing in thi world. The heart is what the great God requires. We must not think to divide the heart between God and the world; he will have all or none Look to the rule of God's word, the conduct of his providence, and the good examples of his people. Particular cautions are given against sin most destructive to wisdom and grace in the soul. It is really a sham to make a god of the belly. Drunkenness stupifies men, and then all goes to ruin. Licentiousness takes away the heart that should be give to God. Take heed of any approaches toward this sin, it is very hard to retreat from it. It bewitches men to their ruin.
