²⁶ My son, pay attention to me.
    And watch closely what I do.
²⁷ A prostitute is as dangerous as a deep pit.
    And an unfaithful wife is like a narrow well.
²⁸ They ambush you like robbers.
    And they cause many men to be unfaithful to their wives.

³ Whoever loves wisdom makes his father happy.
    But the one who makes friends with prostitutes wastes his money.
