26 My son, give me your heart

and let your eyes delight in my ways,

27 for an adulterous woman is a deep pit,

and a wayward wife is a narrow well.

28 Like a bandit she lies in wait

and multiplies the unfaithful among men.

26 My son, give me thine heart,

And let thine eyes observe my ways.

27 For a whore is a deep ditch;

And a strange woman is a narrow pit.

28 She also lieth in wait as for a prey,

And increaseth the transgressors among men.

26 O my son, give me your heart.

May your eyes take delight in following my ways.

27 A prostitute is a dangerous trap;

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

28 She hides and waits like a robber,

eager to make more men unfaithful.

26 My son, give me your heart,

And let your eyes observe my ways.

27 For a harlot is a deep pit,

And a seductress is a narrow well.

28 She also lies in wait as for a victim,

And increases the unfaithful among men.

26 My son, pay attention to me,

and watch closely what I do.

27 A prostitute is as dangerous as a deep pit,

and an unfaithful wife is like a narrow well.

28 They ambush you like robbers

and cause many men to be unfaithful to their wives.

26 My son, give me thy heart;

And let thine eyes delight in my ways.

27 For a harlot is a deep ditch;

And a foreign woman is a narrow pit.

28 Yea, she lieth in wait as a robber,

And increaseth the treacherous among men.

26 My son, give me thy heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways. 27 For a whore is a deep ditch; and a strange woman is a narrow pit. 28 She also lieth in wait as a robber, and increaseth the treacherous among men.

26 My son, 

give me your heart. 

Let your eyes find happiness in my ways. 

27 A prostitute is a deep pit. 

A loose woman is a narrow well. 

28 She is like a robber, lying in ambush. 

She spreads unfaithfulness throughout society. 

26 My son, give me your heart,

and let your eyes observe my ways.

27 For a prostitute is a deep pit,

and a stranger is a narrow well;

28 indeed, she sets an ambush like a robber

and increases those among men who are unfaithful.

26 My child, give me your heart,

and let your eyes observe my ways.

27 For a prostitute is a deep pit;

an adulteress is a narrow well.

28 She lies in wait like a robber

and increases the number of the faithless.

26 My child, may you give your heart to me,

and may your eyes delight in my ways.

27 For a deep pit is a prostitute,

and a narrow well is an adulteress.

28 She is also like a robber lying in wait,

and the faithless among mankind she increases.

26 My son, give me your heart.

Keep your eyes on the way I live.

27 A prostitute is like a deep pit.

A wife who commits adultery is like a narrow well.

28 She hides and waits like a thief.

She causes many men to sin.

26 Give me your heart, my son,

And let your eyes delight in my ways.

27 For a harlot is a deep pit

And an adulterous woman is a narrow well.

28 Surely she lurks as a robber,

And increases the faithless among men.
