¹⁵ My son, if thy heart be wise,
My heart will be glad, even mine:
¹⁶ Yea, my ^[a]heart will rejoice,
When thy lips speak right things.

²² Hearken unto thy father that begat thee,
And despise not thy mother when she is old.

²⁴ The father of the righteous will greatly rejoice;
And he that begetteth a wise child will have joy of him.
²⁵ Let thy father and thy mother be glad,
And let her that bare thee rejoice.
