Proverbs 23:25–31

25

Let your father and your mother be glad!

Let her who bore you rejoice!

My son, give me your heart;

and let your eyes keep in my ways.

Selected verse

Yes, she lies in wait like a robber,

and increases the unfaithful among men.

29

Who has woe?

Who has sorrow?

Who has strife?

Who has complaints?

Who has needless bruises?

Who has bloodshot eyes?

30

Those who stay long at the wine;

those who go to seek out mixed wine.

31

Don’t look at the wine when it is red,

when it sparkles in the cup,

when it goes down smoothly.
