¹⁵ My son, if your heart is wise,
My heart will rejoice—indeed, I myself;
¹⁶ Yes, my ^[a]inmost being will rejoice
When your lips speak right things.

^22 (A)Listen to your father who begot you,
And do not despise your mother when she is old.

^24 (A)The father of the righteous will greatly rejoice,
And he who begets a wise child will delight in him.
²⁵ Let your father and your mother be glad,
And let her who bore you rejoice.
