Proverbs 23:24-32 Common English Bible (CEB)

24. The father of the righteous will be very happy;the one who gives life to the wise will rejoice.

25. Your father and your mother will rejoice;she who gave you birth will be happy.

26. My child, give your mind to meand let your eyes keep to my path.

27. A prostitute is a deep pit,and a foreign woman is a narrow well.

28. Indeed, she ambushes like a robberand increases the number of the faithless.

29. Who is suffering?Who is uneasy?Who has arguments?Who has complaints?Who has unnecessary wounds?Who has glazed eyes?—

30. those who linger over wine;those who go looking for mixed wine.

31. Don’t look at wine when it is red,when it sparkles in the cup,going down smoothly.

32. In the end, it bites like a snakeand poisons like a viper.
