Proverbs 23:26–28

My son, give me your heart,

and let your eyes observe my ways.

For a prostitute is a deep pit;

an adulteress is a narrow well.

She lies in wait like a robber

and increases the traitors among mankind.

My son, give me your heart

and let your eyes delight in my ways,

for an adulterous woman is a deep pit,

and a wayward wife is a narrow well.

Like a bandit she lies in wait

and multiplies the unfaithful among men.

My son, give me your heart,

and let your eyes observe my ways.

For a prostitute is a deep pit,

and a wayward woman is a narrow well;

indeed, she sets an ambush like a robber

and increases the number of unfaithful people.

O my son, give me your heart.

May your eyes take delight in following my ways.

A prostitute is a dangerous trap;

a promiscuous woman is as dangerous as falling into a narrow well.

She hides and waits like a robber,

eager to make more men unfaithful.

My child, may you give your heart to me,

and may your eyes delight in my ways.

For a deep pit is a prostitute,

and a narrow well is an adulteress.

She is also like a robber lying in wait,

and the faithless among mankind she increases.

My son, give me thine heart,

And let thine eyes observe my ways.

For a whore is a deep ditch;

And a strange woman is a narrow pit.

She also lieth in wait as for a prey,

And increaseth the transgressors among men.
