Proverbs

²⁵Let thy father and thy mother be glad, and let her that bare thee rejoice. ²⁶My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes delight in my ways. ²⁷For a whore is a deep ditch; and a strange woman is a narrow pit. ²⁸Yea, she lieth in wait as a robber, and increaseth the treacherous among men. ²⁹Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath complaining? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes? ³⁰They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek out mixed wine. ³¹Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth its colour in the cup, when it goeth down smoothly.
