Proverbs 23:25-33

²⁵Let thy father and thy mother be glad, and let her that bore thee rejoice.

²⁶My son, give me thy heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways.

²⁷For a harlot is a deep ditch; and an alien woman is a narrow pit.

²⁸She also lieth in wait as a robber, and increaseth the faithless among men.

²⁹Who crieth: 'Woe'? who: 'Alas'? who hath contentions? who hath raving? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes?

³⁰They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to try mixed wine.

³¹Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth its colour in the cup, when it glideth down smoothly;

³²At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like a basilisk.

³³Thine eyes shall behold strange things, and thy heart shall utter confused things.
