To keep you from the immoral woman;
From the seductress with her flattering words,

“Prize wisdom [and exalt her], and she will exalt you;
She will honor you if you embrace her.

Passing through the street near her corner;
And he took the path to her house

Her house is the way to Sheol,
Descending to the chambers of death.

A man of great anger will bear the penalty [for his quick temper and lack of self-control];
For if you rescue him [and do not let him learn from the consequences of his action], you will only have to rescue him over and over again.

Rescue those who are being taken away to death,
And those who stagger to the slaughter, Oh hold them back [from their doom]!

Do not rush out to argue your case [before magistrates or judges];
Otherwise what will you do in the end [when your case is lost and]
When your neighbor (opponent) humiliates you?
