Proverbs 23:26-28
Modern English Version

Saying Eighteen

26 My son, give me your heart,
    and let your eyes observe my ways.
27 For a prostitute is a deep ditch,
    and a seductress is a narrow pit.
28 She also lies in wait as for a prey,
    and increases the transgressors among men.

Proverbs 23:26-28
American Standard Version

26 My son, give me thy heart;
And let thine eyes [a]delight in my ways.
27 For a harlot is a deep ditch;
And a foreign woman is a narrow pit.
28 Yea, she lieth in wait [b]as a robber,
And increaseth the treacherous among men.
