Take fast hold of correction, let her not go, - keep her, for, she, is thy life.

Her feet, are going down to death, - on hades, will her steps take firm hold.

Do not covet her beauty, in thy heart, neither let her take thee, by her eyelashes;

Come! let us take our fill of endearments, until morning, let us delight ourselves with caresses;

A virtuous woman, is the crown of her husband, but, a veritable decay in his bones, is she that causeth shame.

The life of the whole body, is a tranquil mind, but, a decay of the bones, is jealousy.

A bribe out of his bosom, doth a lawless man take, to pervert the ways of justice.

Take his garment who is pledge for a stranger, - then, for a woman unknown, accept him as surety.

Lest thou learn his ways, and take a snare to thy soul.

If thou hast nothing to pay, why should one take away thy bed from under thee?

Thus, take knowledge of wisdom, for thine own soul; If thou find it, then there is a future, and, thine expectation, shall not be cut off.

These things also, concern he wise, To take note of faces in judgment, is not good.

As, a dog, returneth onto his own vomit, a dullard, repeateth his folly.

As he who layeth hold of the ears of a dog, is a passer-by, who giveth vent to his wrath over a quarrel, not his!

Take a man's garment when he hath become pledge for stranger, then, for a female unknown, accept him as surety.

To take note of faces in judgment , is not good, and, for a bit of bread, a man will transgress.
