¹ My son, pay attention to my wisdom; stretch your ear to my understanding;² so that you may keep judgment, and your lips may keep knowledge.³ For the lips of a strange woman drip honey, and her palate is sweeter than oil,⁴ but afterwards, she is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a sword of mouths;⁵ her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell,⁶ lest you should meditate on the path of life, her tracks are movable, you cannot know them.⁷ Then hear me now, O sons, and do not depart from the words of my mouth.⁸ Remove your ways far from her, and do not come near to the door of her house,⁹ lest you give your honor to others, and your years to the cruel;¹⁰ that strangers not be filled with your strength, and your labors be in the house of an alien,¹¹ and you moan when your end comes , when your flesh and muscle are eaten away;¹² and say, How I have hated instruction, and my heart despised correction;¹³ and I have not heard the voice of my teachers, nor stretched my ear to those instructing me.¹⁴ I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly.

¹⁵ Drink waters out of your own cistern, and running waters out of your own well.¹⁶ Should your overflowing springs be scattered outside, like rivers of waters in the streets?¹⁷ Let them be only your own, and not to strangers with you;¹⁸ let your fountains be blessed, and rejoice with the wife of your youth;¹⁹ she is a loving deer, a graceful doe; let her breasts satisfy you every time, and always be ravished in her love.²⁰ And my son, why will you be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace a foreigner's bosom?²¹ For the ways of man are before the eyes of Jehovah, and He ponders all his tracks.²² His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be held with the cords of his sin.²³ He shall die without instruction, and in the greatness of his foolishness he shall go astray.
