Proverbs 23:22-25

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