26 (A)Give your heart to me, my son,
And let your eyes [a](B)delight in my ways.

And adds to the treacherous among men.

Revised Standard Version
26 My son, give me your heart,
and let your eyes observe[a] my ways.
27 For a harlot is a deep pit;
an adventuress is a narrow well.

and increases the faithless among men.
