²⁰ My child, keep the commandment of your father,
    and do not disregard the instruction of your mother.

²² Listen to your father—he who gave you life,^[a]
    and do not despise your mother when^[b] she is old.
²³ Buy truth and do not sell it,
    wisdom and instruction and understanding.
²⁴ The father of the righteous will surely rejoice;
    he who bears a wise person will be happy with him.
²⁵ May your father and your mother be glad,
    and may she who bore you rejoice.

¹⁵ As for a rod and reproof, they^[a] will give wisdom,
    but a neglected child is disgraced by his mother.
