24. The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice, and he that begets a wise child shall have joy with him.
25. Thy father and thy mother shall be glad, and she that bore thee shall rejoice.
26. My son, give me thine 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 lies in wait as for a prey and increases the transgressors among men.
29. For who shall be the woe? for who shall be the woe? for who contention? for who quarrels? for who the wounds without cause? who shall have redness of eyes?
30. For those that tarry long at the wine; those that go to seek mixed wine.
31. Do not look upon the wine when it is red, when it gives its colour in the cup, it goes down smoothly.
32. At the last it bites like a serpent and stings like an adder.
