24. The father of a righteous man shall greatly rejoice, and he that begetteth a wise son shall have joy of him:
25. let thy father and thy mother have joy, and let her that bore thee rejoice.
26. My son, give me thy heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways.
27. For a whore is a deep ditch; and a strange woman is a narrow pit.
28. She also lieth in wait as a robber, and increaseth the treacherous among men.
29. Who hath woe? Who hath sorrow? Who contentions? Who complaining? Who wounds without cause? Who redness of eyes?
30. --They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to try mixed wine.
31. Look not upon the wine when it is red, when it sparkleth in the cup, and goeth down smoothly:
32. at the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder.
