26  My son, give me your heart,

and let your eyes observe¹ my ways.

27  For a prostitute is ^ha deep pit;

ⁱan adulteress² is a narrow ^jwell.

28  ^kShe lies in wait like a robber

and increases the traitors among mankind.

3  He who ^eloves wisdom makes his father glad,

but ^fa companion of prostitutes ^gsquanders his wealth.
