and do not despise your mother when she is old.
22Listen to your father who gave you life,
23Invest in truth and never sell it —
in wisdom and instruction and understanding.
24The father of a righteous man will greatly rejoice,
and he who fathers a wise son will delight in him.
25May your father and mother be glad,
and may she who gave you birth rejoice!
— Proverbs 23:22-25
