Proverbs 23:22-28

22Listen to your father who begot you, And do not despise your mother when she is old.

23Buy the truth, and do not sell it, Also wisdom and instruction and understanding.

24The father of the righteous will greatly rejoice, And he who begets a wise child will delight in him.

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

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

27For a harlot is a deep pit, And a seductress is a narrow well.

28She also lies in wait as for a victim, And increases the unfaithful among men.
