deep ditch—a narrow pit, out of which it is hard to climb.
lieth in wait—to ensnare men into the pit, as hunters entrap game (compare Proverbs 22:14).
A solemn warning against whoredom and drunkenness (Hosea 4:11).
give me—This is the address of that divine wisdom so often presented (Proverbs 8:1; Proverbs 9:3, etc.).
heart—confidence.
observe—keep.
my ways—such as I teach you (Proverbs 3:17; Proverbs 9:6).
