22 Listen to your father who begot you,and do not despise your mother when she is old.
23 Acquire truth and do not sell it – wisdom, and discipline, and understanding.
24 The father of a righteous person will rejoice greatly;whoever fathers a wise child will have joy in him.
25 May your father and your mother have joy;may she who bore you rejoice.
26 Give me your heart, my son,and let your eyes observe my ways;
27 for a prostitute is like a deep pit;a harlot is like a narrow well.
28 Indeed, she lies in wait like a robber,and increases the unfaithful among men.
