22 Listen to your father, who gave you life,and don’t despise your mother when she is old.
23 Get the truth and never sell it;also get wisdom, discipline, and good judgment.
24 The father of godly children has cause for joy.What a pleasure to have children who are wise.
25 So give your father and mother joy!May she who gave you birth be happy.
26 O my son, give me your heart.May your eyes take delight in following my ways.
27 A prostitute is a dangerous trap;a promiscuous woman is as dangerous as falling into a narrow well.
28 She hides and waits like a robber,eager to make more men unfaithful.
