Should your springs be dispersed abroad,
Streams of water in the streets?

For why should you, my son, be exhilarated with an adulteress
And embrace the bosom of a foreigner?

A divine decision is in the lips of the king;
His mouth should not err in judgment.

Train up a child in the way he should go,
Even when he is old he will not depart from it.

If you have nothing with which to pay,
Why should he take your bed from under you?
