Harlot (prostitute) » To be shunned
Let not thy heart decline to her ways. Go not astray in her paths. For she has cast down many wounded. Yea, all her slain are a mighty host. Her house is the way to Sheol, going down to the chambers of death.
For the lips of an interloping woman drop honey, and her mouth is smoother than oil. But in the end she is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword. Her feet go down to death. Her steps take hold on Sheol, read more.
so that she does not find the level path of life. Her ways are unstable, [and] she does not know. Now therefore, ye sons, hearken to me, and do not depart from the words of my mouth. Remove thy way far from her, and do not come near the door of her house, lest thou give thine honor to others, and thy years to the cruel, lest strangers be filled with thy strength, and thy labors [be] in the house of an alien, and thou mourn at thy latter end when thy flesh and thy body are consumed, and say, How I have hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof. Neither have I obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined my ear to those who instructed me! I was almost in all evil in the midst of the assembly and congregation. Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well. Should thy springs be dispersed abroad, and streams of water in the streets? Let them be for thyself alone, and not for strangers with thee. Let thy fountain be blessed, and rejoice in the wife of thy youth: a loving hind and a pleasant doe. Let her breasts satisfy thee at all times, and be thou ravished always with her love. For why should thou, my son, be ravished with an interloping woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?

in the twilight, in the evening of the day, in the middle of the night and in the darkness. And, behold, there met him a woman attired like a harlot, and wily of heart. She is loud and headstrong. Her feet abide not in her house. Now she is in the streets, now in the broad places, and lays in wait at every corner. So she caught him, and kissed him. With an impudent face she said to him, Sacrifices of peace-offerings are with me. I have paid my vows this day. Therefore I came forth to meet thee, diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee. I have spread my couch with carpets of tapestry, with striped cloths of the yarn of Egypt. I have perfumed my bed With myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning. Let us solace ourselves with love. For the man is not at home. He has gone a long journey. He has taken a bag of money with him. He will come home at the full moon. With her much fair speech she causes him to yield. With the flattering of her lips she forces him along. He goes after her straightaway, as an ox goes to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks, till an arrow strikes through his liver, as a bird hastens to the snare. And he does not know that it is for his life. Now therefore, ye sons, hearken to me, and attend to the words of my mouth. Let not thy heart decline to her ways. Go not astray in her paths. For she has cast down many wounded. Yea, all her slain are a mighty host. Her house is the way to Sheol, going down to the chambers of death.
