If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk secretly for the innocent without cause;

My son, forget not my teaching, and let thy heart observe my commandments;

Let not loving-kindness and truth forsake thee; bind them about thy neck, write them upon the tablet of thy heart:

My son, let them not depart from thine eyes; keep sound wisdom and discretion:

As a lovely hind and a graceful roe, let her breasts satisfy thee at all times: be thou ravished continually with her love.

when thou walkest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.

Lust not after her beauty in thy heart, neither let her take thee with her eyelids;

Come, let us revel in love until the morning, let us delight ourselves with loves.

Let not thy heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths:

Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither. To him that is void of understanding, she saith,

Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither. And to him that is void of understanding she saith,

let thy father and thy mother have joy, and let her that bore thee rejoice.

My son, give me thy heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways.

Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thy heart be glad when he stumbleth;

Let thy foot be seldom in thy neighbour's house; lest he be weary of thee and hate thee.
