Buy truth, and do not sell it; buy wisdom, instruction, and understanding.

The father of the righteous will greatly rejoice; he who begets a wise son will be glad in him.

26
My child, give me your heart, and let your eyes observe a my ways.
27
For a prostitute is a deep pit; an adulteress b is a narrow well.
28
She lies in wait like a robber and increases the number of the faithless.
29
Who has woe? Who has sorrow? Who has strife? Who has complaining? Who has wounds without cause? Who has redness of eyes?

Those who linger late over wine, those who keep trying mixed wines.
31
Do not look at wine when it is red, when it sparkles in the cup and goes down smoothly.
32
At the last it bites like a serpent, and stings like an adder.
33
Your eyes will see strange things, and your mind utter perverse things.
