Proverbs 23:24-29 Modern English Version (MEV)

24. The father of the righteous will greatly rejoice,and he who fathers a wise child will have joy of him.

25. Your father and your mother will be glad,and she who bore you will rejoice.

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.

29. Who has woe? Who has sorrow?Who has contentions? Who has babbling?Who has wounds without cause? Who has redness of eyes?
