Proverbs
Chapters 23:24-30
New International Version Anglicized
24The father of a righteous child has great joy;a man who fathers a wise son rejoices in him.
25May your father and mother rejoice;may she who gave you birth be joyful!Saying 18
26My son, give me your heartand let your eyes delight in my ways,
27for an adulterous woman is a deep pit,and a wayward wife is a narrow well.
28Like a bandit she lies in waitand multiplies the unfaithful among men.Saying 19
29Who has woe? Who has sorrow?Who has strife? Who has complaints?Who has needless bruises? Who has bloodshot eyes?
30Those who linger over wine,who go to sample bowls of mixed wine.
