Proverbs 23:26-28
International Standard Version

26 Give me your heart, my son,
    and keep your eyes fixed on my ways,
27 because a prostitute is a deep pit,
    and the adulterous[a] woman a narrow well.
28 Surely she lies in wait like a bandit,
    increasing those who are faithless among mankind.

Proverbs 23:26-28
Lexham English Bible

26 My child, may you give your heart[a] to me,
    and may your eyes delight in my ways.
27 For a deep pit is a prostitute,[b]
    and a narrow well is an adulteress.[c]
28 She is also like a robber lying in wait,
    and the faithless among mankind she increases.
