²⁶ My child, give your mind to me
    and let your eyes keep to my path.
²⁷ A prostitute is a deep pit,
    and a foreign woman is a narrow well.
²⁸ Indeed, she ambushes like a robber
    and increases the number of the faithless.

³ A man who loves wisdom makes his father rejoice,
    but one who spends time with prostitutes destroys riches.
