Proverbs 23:22-31

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

²³Buy the truth, but do not sell it; buy wisdom, instruction, and understanding.

²⁴The father of the righteous person will greatly rejoice, and he who begets a wise child will be glad 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 prostitute is a deep pit, and an immoral woman is a narrow well.

²⁸She lies in wait like a robber and she increases the number of the treacherous among humanity.

²⁹Who has woe? Who has sorrow? Who has fights? Who has complaining? Who has wounds for no reason? Who has bloodshot eyes?

³⁰Those who linger over wine, those who try the mixed wine.

³¹Do not look at the wine when it is red, when it sparkles in the cup and goes down smoothly.
