It will rescue you from a forbidden woman,
from a stranger with her flattering talk,

Don’t let your mouth speak dishonestly,
and don’t let your lips talk deviously.

When you walk here and there, they will guide you;
when you lie down, they will watch over you;
when you wake up, they will talk to you.

She will keep you from a forbidden woman,
a stranger with her flattering talk.

She seduces him with her persistent pleading;
she lures with her flattering talk.

There is profit in all hard work,
but endless talk leads only to poverty.

A wicked person listens to malicious talk;
a liar pays attention to a destructive tongue.
