22. Listen to your father, who gave you life;don’t despise your elderly mother.
23. Buy truth and don’t sell it;buy wisdom, instruction, and understanding.
24. The father of the righteous will be very happy;the one who gives life to the wise will rejoice.
25. Your father and your mother will rejoice;she who gave you birth will be happy.
26. My child, give your mind to meand let your eyes keep to my path.
27. A prostitute is a deep pit,and a foreign woman is a narrow well.
28. Indeed, she ambushes like a robberand increases the number of the faithless.
29. Who is suffering?Who is uneasy?Who has arguments?Who has complaints?Who has unnecessary wounds?Who has glazed eyes?—
30. those who linger over wine;those who go looking for mixed wine.
