24 The father of the just one rejoicing, shall rejoice: he shall beget a wise one and shall rejoice in him. 25 Thy father shall rejoice, and thy mother, and she begetting thee shall exult. 26 My son, thou shalt give thy heart to me, and thine eyes shall delight in my way. 27 For a harlot is a deep ditch; and a strong woman a narrow well. 28 She also will lie in wait as for prey, and she will add those transgressing among men. 29 To whom wo? to whom want? to whom strife? to whom complaint? to whom wounds gratuitously? to whom dark flashings of the eyes? 30 To those remaining at the wine; to those going to seek mixed wine. 31 Thou shalt not look upon wine when it shall be red, when it shall give its eye in the cup, it will go about in uprightnesses. 32 Its latter state it will bite as serpent, and sting as a viper. 33 Thine eyes shall see strange women, and thy heart shall speak perverseness. 34 And thou wert as he lying down in the heart of the sea, and as he lying down upon the head of the mast. 35 They struck me, I was not pained; they beat me, I knew not: when shall I awake? I will add, I will yet seek it. Proverbs 23:24-35, Smith's Literal Translation. Public domain.
