22Hearken unto thy father that begat thee, and despise not thy mother when she is old.
23Buy the truth, and sell not; wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.

25Thy father and thy mother shall be glad, and she that bare thee shall rejoice.
26My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways.
27For a whore a deep ditch; and a strange woman a narrow pit.
