Proverbs 23:22-28 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

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

23. Buy truth and do not sell:wisdom, instruction, understanding!

24. The father of a just person will exult greatly;whoever begets a wise son will rejoice in him.

25. Let your father and mother rejoice;let her who bore you exult.

26. My son, give me your heart,and let your eyes keep to my ways,

27. For the harlot is a deep pit,and the foreign woman a narrow well;

28. Yes, she lies in wait like a robber,and increases the number of the faithless.
