Proverbs
Chapters 23:25-31
New International Version Anglicized
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.
31Do not gaze at wine when it is red,when it sparkles in the cup,when it goes down smoothly!
