Keep far from her thy way, and do not go near the opening of her house:

Passing through the street, near her corner, and, on the way to her house, he sauntered along;

Now outside, now in the broadways, and, near every corner, she lieth in wait:

Wise men, treasure up knowledge, but, the mouth of the foolish, is a terror near at hand.

For, their near of kin, is strong, he, will plead their cause with thee.

Thine own friend and thy father's friend, do not thou forsake; but, the house of thy brother, do not enter, in thy day of calamity, Better a neighbour near, than a brother far off.
