22Hearken unto thy father that begat thee, and despise not thy mother when she is old.
23Buy the truth, and sell it not; wisdom, and instruction, and intelligence.
24The father of a righteous man shall greatly rejoice, and he that begetteth a wise son shall have joy of him:
25let thy father and thy mother have joy, and let her that bore thee rejoice.
26My son, give me thy heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways.
27For a whore is a deep ditch; and a strange woman is a narrow pit.
28She also lieth in wait as a robber, and increaseth the treacherous among men.
