26My son, give me thine heart,
And let thine eyes observe my ways.
27For a whore is pa deep ditch;
And qa strange woman is a narrow rpit.
28sShe also lieth in wait ||as for a prey,
And increaseth the transgressors among men.

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.

NLTNew Living Translation
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.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible
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.
