26 My son, give me your heart,
And let your eyes observe my ways.

27 ^aFor a harlot is a deep pit,
And a seductress is a narrow well. ‡

29 ^aWho has woe?
Who has sorrow?
Who has contentions?
Who has complaints?
Who has wounds without cause?
Who ^bhas redness of eyes? ‡

30 ^aThose who linger long at the wine,
Those who go in search of ^bmixed wine. ‡
