22 Écoute ton père, lui qui t’a engendré, Et ne méprise pas ta mère, quand elle est devenue vieille.
23 Acquiers la vérité, et ne la vends pas, La sagesse, l’instruction et l’intelligence.
24 Le père du juste est dans l’allégresse, Celui qui donne naissance à un sage aura de la joie.
25 Que ton père et ta mère se réjouissent, Que celle qui t’a enfanté soit dans l’allégresse!
26 Mon fils, donne-moi ton cœur, Et que tes yeux se plaisent dans mes voies.
