Proverbs 23:22-28

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

23Acquire truth and do not sell it, acquire wisdom, instruction and understanding.

24The father of a righteous one rejoices greatly. Whoever fathers a wise child delights in him.

25Let your father and your mother be glad, let she who bore you rejoice!

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

27For a prostitute is a deep pit, an adulterous woman is a narrow pit.

28Indeed, she lies in wait like a robber, and increases the unfaithful among men.
