Proverbs 23:22-25
Lexham English Bible
22 Listen to your father—he who gave you life,[a]
and do not despise your mother when[b] she is old.
23 Buy truth and do not sell it,
wisdom and instruction and understanding.
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.

whoever fathers a wise son will be glad because of him.

make the one who gave birth to you happy.
