Proverbs 23:26-32 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

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 they cause many men to be unfaithful to their wives.

29-30. Some people drink too much wine.They try out all the different kinds of drinks.So they have trouble. They are sad.They fight. They complain.They have unnecessary bruises.They have bloodshot eyes.

31. Don’t stare at the wine’s pretty, red color.It may sparkle in the cup.It may go down your throat smoothly.

32. But later it bites like a snake.Like a snake, it poisons you.
