25  ^fLet your father and mother be glad;

let ^gher who bore you rejoice.

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.
