Learning From Your Father

²² Listen to your father who gave you life. Do not despise your mother when she is old. ²³ Buy truth, and do not sell it,
Get wisdom and instruction and understanding.
²⁴ The father of the righteous will greatly rejoice and he who gives birth to a wise child will receive joy from him.
