Proverbs 23:26 in context

The verses around it, from Proverbs 23.

22 Listen to your father who gave you life, and do not despise your mother when she is old.

23 Invest in truth and never sell it—in wisdom and instruction and understanding.

24 The father of a righteous man will greatly rejoice, and he who fathers a wise son will delight in him.

25 May your father and mother be glad, and may she who gave you birth rejoice!

26 My son, give me your heart, and let your eyes delight in my ways.

27 For a prostitute is a deep pit, and an adulteress is a narrow well.

28 Like a robber she lies in wait and multiplies the faithless among men.

29 Who has woe? Who has sorrow? Who has contentions? Who has complaints? Who has needless wounds? Who has bloodshot eyes?

30 Those who linger over wine, who go to taste mixed drinks.
