¹⁵ My child, if your heart^[a] is wise,
    my heart will be glad—even me!
¹⁶ And my insides^[b] will rejoice
    when your lips speak what is upright.

²² Listen to your father—he who gave you life,^[a]
    and do not despise your mother when^[b] she is old.

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.
