26  for ^vthe price of a prostitute is only ^wa loaf of bread,¹

but a married woman^{2 x}hunts down a precious life.

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.
