Proverbs 23:22-28
221Listen to your father, who fathered you, And 2do not despise your mother when she is old.233Buy truth, and do not sell it, Get wisdom, instruction, and understanding.
24The father of the righteous will greatly rejoice, And 4he who fathers a wise son will be glad in him.25Let your 5father and your mother be glad, And let her rejoice who gave birth to you.
266Give me your heart, my son, And let your eyes 78delight in my ways.27For a prostitute is a 9deep pit, And a 1011strange woman is a narrow well.28Certainly she 12lurks as a robber, And increases the treacherous among mankind.
