⁶ Train children in the way they should go;
    when they grow old, they won’t depart from it.

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.

²⁴ Those who steal from their father and mother,
    and say, “It’s not a crime,”
    are friends of vandals.
