22 (A)Listen to your father who begot you,
And (B)do not despise your mother when she is old.
23 (C)Buy truth, and do not sell it,
Get wisdom and discipline and understanding.
24 The father of the righteous will greatly rejoice,
And (D)he who begets a wise son will be glad in him.
25 Let your (E)father and your mother be glad,
And let her rejoice who gave birth to you.
Proverbs 23:22-25

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.
