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.

¹⁵ The rod and correction lead to wisdom,
    but children out of control shame their mothers.
