Previous Chapter Previous Verse Full Chapter Next Verse Next Chapter
24 The father of the righteous has great joy. Whoever fathers a wise child delights in him.
25 Let your father and your mother be glad! Let her who bore you rejoice!
26 My son, give me your heart; And let your eyes keep in my ways.
27 For a prostitute is a deep pit; And a wayward wife is a narrow well.
28 Yes, she lies in wait like a robber, And increases the unfaithful among men.
29 Who has woe? Who has sorrow? Who has strife? Who has complaints? Who has needless bruises? Who has bloodshot eyes?
30 Those who stay long at the wine; Those who go to seek out mixed wine.
