Proverbs 23:22-27 New Living Translation (NLT)

22. Listen to your father, who gave you life,and don’t despise your mother when she is old.

23. Get the truth and never sell it;also get wisdom, discipline, and good judgment.

24. The father of godly children has cause for joy.What a pleasure to have children who are wise.

25. So give your father and mother joy!May she who gave you birth be happy.

26. O my son, give me your heart.May your eyes take delight in following my ways.

27. A prostitute is a dangerous trap;a promiscuous woman is as dangerous as falling into a narrow well.
