Proverbs 23:23-35

Proverbs 23:23-35 CSB

NIVKJVESVNLTNKJV

Buy — and do not sell — truth, wisdom, instruction, and understanding.  The father of a righteous son will rejoice greatly, and one who fathers a wise son will delight in him.  Let your father and mother have joy,  and let her who gave birth to you rejoice. My son, give me your heart, and let your eyes observe my ways. For a prostitute is a deep pit,  and a wayward woman is a narrow well; indeed, she sets an ambush like a robber  and increases the number of unfaithful people. Who has woe? Who has sorrow? Who has conflicts? Who has complaints? Who has wounds for no reason?  Who has red eyes? Those who linger over wine; those who go looking for mixed wine.  Don’t gaze at wine because it is red,  because it gleams in the cup and goes down smoothly.  In the end it bites like a snake and stings like a viper. Your eyes will see strange things, and you will say absurd things.  , You’ll be like someone sleeping out at sea or lying down on the top of a ship’s mast. “They struck me, but   I feel no pain! They beat me, but I didn’t know it!  When will I wake up? I’ll look for another drink.”
