23 Buy the truth, and don’t sell it.Get wisdom, discipline, and understanding.
24 The father of the righteous has great joy.Whoever fathers a wise child delights in him.
25 Let your father and your mother be glad!Let her who bore you rejoice!
26 My son, give me your heart;and let your eyes keep in my ways.
27 For a prostitute is a deep pit;and a wayward wife is a narrow well.
28 Yes, she lies in wait like a robber,and increases the unfaithful among men.
29 Who has woe?Who has sorrow?Who has strife?Who has complaints?Who has needless bruises?Who has bloodshot eyes?
