Go to the ant, thou slothful one; see her ways, and be wise:

Which no leader to her, scribe and ruler;

She will prepare in summer her bread, gathering her food in harvest.

Thou shalt not desire her beauty in thy heart, and she shall not take thee with her eyelashes.

So he going in to his neighbor's wife; all touching upon her shall not be innocent

To watch thyself from the strange woman, from the stranger making smooth her sayings.

Passing in the street near her corner; and he will step the way of her house,

She being noisy and perverse; her feet will not dwell in her house:

She laid hold upon him and kissed to him; she strengthened her face, and she will say to him,

With much of her talking she caused him to turn aside; with the smoothness of her lips she will thrust him away.

He went after her suddenly as the ox will go to the slaughter, and as the fetter for the correction of the foolish.

And now, ye sons, hear to me, and attend to the sayings of my mouth.

And thy heart shall not deviate to her ways; thou shalt not wander in her beaten paths.

For she cast down many wounded, and the strong all being slain by her.

Her house the ways to hades, going down to the chambers of death.

Shall not wisdom call, and understanding give her voice?

Hear ye, for I will speak dear things; and the openings of my lips uprightnesses.

For wisdom is good above pearls, and all delights shall not be made equal with her.

And now ye sons, hear to me: and the happy shall watch my ways.

Hear ye instructions, and be wise, and ye shall not reject it

Wisdom built her house, she hewed out her seven pillars:

She slaughtered her slaughter; she mingled her wine; also she prepared her table.

She sent forth her girls: she will call upon the wings of the heights of the city,

Who the simple, he shall turn aside here: he wanting heart, she said to him,

And sitting at the door of her house, upon the throne of the heights of the city,

Who is simple, he shall turn aside here: and he wanting heart, and she said to him,

And he knew not that there the shades; her called ones in the depths of hades

A woman of strength is a crown to her husband: and she causing shame, as rottenness in his bones.

The expiating of a man's soul is his riches: and the poor will not hear rebuke.

The wise woman built her house but the foolish will pull it down with her hands.

Jehovah is far off from the unjust: and he will hear the prayer of the just

A foolish son a grief to his father, and bitterness to her bringing him forth.

He turning back the word before he shall hear it, is folly and shame to him.

Hear counsel and receive instruction, so that thou shalt be wise in thy latter state.

Cease, my son, to hear instructions for erring from the words of knowledge.

The glory of young men their strength: and the ornament of old men gray hair.

Incline thine ear and hear the words of the wise, and thou shalt set thy heart to my knowledge.

Hear thou, my son, and be wise, and guide thy heart right in the way.

Hear to thy father that begat thee, and thou shalt not despise thy mother when growing old.

As the bird wandering from her nest, so is a man wandering from his place.

He hiding her, hid the wind, and he shall call the oil of his right hand.

He dividing with a thief, hates his soul: he shall hear cursing and shall not announce.

So the way of a woman committing adultery; eating and wiping her mouth, and saying, I transgressed not

For a hated woman when she shall be married and a maid when she shall inherit to her mistress.

Who shall find a woman of virtue? for her price is far above pearls.

The heart of her husband trusted in her, and he shall not want spoil.

She rewarded him good and not evil all the days of her life.

She sought wool and flax, and she will work in delight with her hands.

She was as the ships of the merchant; from far off she will bring her bread.

She will rise while yet night, and she will give food to her house, and a portion to her girls.

She purposed a field, and he will take it: from the fruit of her hands she planted a vineyard.

She girded her loins with strength, and she will strengthen her arms.

She tasted that her traffic is good: her light will not go out by night

She sent forth her hands upon the spindle, and her hands take hold of the whirl.

She spread forth her hands to the poor, and sent forth her hands to the needy.

She will not fear for her house from snow, for all her house put on double.

She made for herself coverings; byssus and purple her clothing.

Her husband was known in the gates, in his sitting with the old men of the land.

Strength and ornament her clothing; and she will laugh to the last day.

She opened her mouth in wisdom, and the law of mercy upon her tongue.

She viewed the goings of her house, and the bread of sloth she will not eat

Her sons rose up and they will call her happy; her husband, and he will praise her.

Ye shall give her from the fruit of her hands, and her works shall praise her in the gates.

Watch thy feet when thou shalt go to the house of God, and draw near to hear, rather than give the sacrifice of the foolish, for they not knowing the doing of evil.

Good to hear the reproof of the wise one, above a man hearing the song of the foolish:

Also to all the words that shall be spoken thou shalt not give thy heart, that thou shalt not hear thy servant cursing thee.

And I find bitter above death the woman that her heart it is snares and nets, her hands are bonds: the good one before God shall escape from her, and he sinning shall be taken by her.

As thou wilt not know what the way of the spirit, as the bones in the womb of her being filled, so thou shalt not know the work of God who will make all.

We will hear the end of all the word: Fear thou God, and watch his commands: for this is all man.

My dove in the refuges of the rock, in the biding of the steep mountain: cause me to see thy form, cause me to hear thy voice; for thy voice is sweet and thy form becoming.

As a little I passed from them till I found him my soul loved: I held him fast, and I shall not let him go till I brought him into my mother's house, and to the chamber of her conceiving me.

Behold thee beautiful, my friend, behold thee beautiful; thine eyes doves' from behind to thy veil: thy hair as a herd of goats which lay down from mount Gilead.

Turn away thine eyes from before me; they enlarged me: thy hair as a herd of goats which lay down from Gilead.

She is one, my dove, my perfect one; she is one to her mother, she is the chosen to her bearing her. The daughters saw her and pronounced her happy; the queens and the concubines, and they will praise her.

Who this coming up from the desert, leaning herself upon her beloved? Under the apple tree I aroused thee: there thy mother brought thee forth: there she bearing thee, brought forth .

A little sister to us, and no breasts to her: what shall we do for our sister in the day it shall be spoken for her?

If she be a wall, we will build upon her a fortress of silver: and if she is a door we will bind upon her a tablet of cedar.

Thou sitting in the gardens, the companions attending to thy voice: cause thou me to hear.

Hear, ye heavens, and give ear thou earth, for Jehovah spake: for I caused to grow and lifted up sons, and they rebelled against me.

Hear the word of Jehovah, ye leaders of Sodom: give ear to the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.

And in the spreading forth of your hands I will hide mine eyes from you.; also when ye shall multiply prayer I hear not: your hands were full of blood.

If ye shall be willing and hear, ye shall eat the good of the land.

How was the faithful city for a harlot! I filled with judgment; justice will lodge in her; and now they are killing

Zion shall be ransomed with judgment and her captivity with justice.

And her entrances sighed and mourned; and being clean, she shall sit upon the earth.

When Jehovah washed out the excrements of the daughters of Zion, and he shall cleanse the blood of Jerusalem from her midst with the spirit of judgment, and with the spirit of burning.

And Jehovah created upon all the foundation of mount Zion and upon all her convocation, a cloud by day, and smoke, and the shining of afire of flame by night: and upon all the glory a covering.

For this, hades enlarged her soul, and opened wide her mouth without bound: and her honor shall go down, and her multitude, and her tumult, and he rejoicing, into her.

And I shall hear the voice of Jehovah, saying, Whom shall I send, and who shall go for us? and behold me saying, Send me.

And he will say, Go, and say to this people, Hearing, hear ye, and ye shall not understand; and seeing, see ye, and ye shall not know.

Make the heart of this people fat and their ears heavy, and blind their eyes, lest they shall see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and their heart shall understand and turn back and be healed to them.

And it will be in the days of Ahaz son of Jotham son of Uzziah, king of Judah, Rezin, king of Aram came up, and Pekah, son of Remaliah, king of Israel, to Jerusalem, to war against her, and he was not able to fight against her.

We will go up against Judah and terrify her and subdue her for us, and we will make a king in the midst of her, the son of Tabeal:

And he will say, Hear ye now, house of David; is it small for you to weary men, but will ye weary God also

In that day shall Jehovah shave with a hired razor by those beyond the river, by the king of Assur, the head and the hair of the feet: and it also shall scrape off the beard.

For the fainting not to what the straits to her according to the time of the first he made light the land of Zebulon and the land of Naphtali; and afterward he made heavy the way of the sea beyond Jordan of Galilee of the nations.

Is it not according to what I did to Shomeron and to her nothings, thus will I do to Jerusalem and to her images?

For the stars of the heavens and the giants of the sky shall not shine their light: the sun was darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.

For this I will provoke the heavens to anger, and the earth shall tremble from her place, in the wrath of Jehovah of armies, and in the day of his burning anger.

And howlers cried out in its palaces, and great serpents in the temples of delight: and her time draws near to come, and her days shall not be protracted.
