Proverbs 23:22-28

22Listen to your father who gave you life, and do not despise your mother when she is old.

23Buy truth, and do not sell it; buy wisdom, instruction, and understanding.

24The father of the righteous will greatly rejoice; he who fathers a wise son will be glad in him.

25Let your father and mother be glad; let her who bore you rejoice.

26My son, give me your heart, and let your eyes observe my ways.

27For a prostitute is a deep pit; an adulteress is a narrow well.

28She lies in wait like a robber and increases the traitors among mankind.
