Proverbs 23:25-30 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

25. May your father and your mother be glad, and may she who bore you rejoice.

26. My child, may you give your heart to me, and may your eyes delight in my ways.

27. For a deep pit is a prostitute, and a narrow well is an adulteress.

28. She is also like a robber lying in wait, and the faithless among mankind she increases.

29. To whom is woe? To whom is sorrow? To whom are quarrels? To whom is complaint? To whom are wounds without cause? To whom is redness of the eyes?

30. To those who linger over wine, to those who come to try mixed wine.
