22 Listen to your father, who gave you life;don’t despise your elderly mother.
23 Buy truth and don’t sell it;buy wisdom, instruction, and understanding.
24 The father of the righteous will be very happy;the one who gives life to the wise will rejoice.
25 Your father and your mother will rejoice;she who gave you birth will be happy.
26 My child, give your mind to meand let your eyes keep to my path.
27 A prostitute is a deep pit,and a foreign woman is a narrow well.
28 Indeed, she ambushes like a robberand increases the number of the faithless.
