²² Listen to your father, who gave you life.
    Don’t hate your mother when she is old.
²³ Buy the truth and don’t sell it.
    Get wisdom, instruction and understanding as well.

¹³ Eat honey, my son, because it is good.
    Honey from a honeycomb has a sweet taste.
¹⁴ I want you to know that wisdom is like honey for you.
    If you find it, there is hope for you tomorrow.
    So your hope will not be cut off.
