Proverbs 23:22-28
221ListenH8085 to your fatherH1, who fatheredH3205 you, And 2do not despiseH936 your motherH517 whenH3588 she isH2204 oldH2204.233BuyH7069 truthH571, and do not sellH4376 it, Get wisdomH2451, instructionH4148, and understandingH998.
24The fatherH1 of the righteousH6662 will greatlyH1524 rejoiceH1523, And 4he who fathersH3205 a wiseH2450 sonH2450 will beH8055 gladH8055 in him.25Let your 5fatherH1 and your motherH517 beH8055 gladH8055, And let her rejoiceH1523 who gaveH3205 birthH3205 to you.
266GiveH5414 me your heartH3820, my sonH1121, And let your eyesH5869 78delightH7521 in my waysH1870.27For a prostituteH2181 is a 9deepH6013 pitH7745, And a 1011strangeH5237 womanH5237 is a narrowH6862 wellH875.28CertainlyH637 she 12lurksH693 as a robberH2863, And increasesH3254 the treacherousH898 among mankindH120.
