Lest thou shalt make level the path of life, her tracks wavered; thou wilt not know. And now, ye sons, hear to me, and ye shall not depart from the words of my mouth. Remove far off from her thy way, and thou shalt not draw near to the door of her house: Lest thou shalt give thy strength to others, and thy years to the cruel: Lest strangers shall be filled with thy strength, and thy labors in the house of strangers; And thou didst lament in thy latter state, in the consuming of thy flesh and thy fulness, And thou saidst, How did I hate instruction, and my heart despise reproofs And I heard not to the voice of him teaching me, and I inclined not mine ear to him instructing me. As I was almost in all evil in the midst of the convocation and the assembly. Drink water from thy pit, and flowing from the midst of thy well. Thy fountains shall be dispersed without; in the broad places streams of waters. They shall be to thee alone, and not strangers with thee. Thy fountain shall be blessed: and rejoice from the wife of thy youth. The hind of loves and the wild goat of grace; her breasts shall satiate thee in all time; thou shalt always wander in her loves. And wherefore, my son, wilt thou wander with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?
To deliver thee from the strange woman, from the stranger making smooth her sayings; Forsaking the friend of her youth, and forgetting the covenant of her God. For her house sunk down to death, and her tracks to the shades. read more.
All going in it shall not turn back, and they shall not overtake the paths of life.
All going in it shall not turn back, and they shall not overtake the paths of life.
To watch thee from the woman of evil, from the smoothness of the strange tongue. Thou shalt not desire her beauty in thy heart, and she shall not take thee with her eyelashes. For by a woman a harlot, even to a round of bread: and a man's wife will hunt the precious soul. read more.
A man taking fire in his bosom, shall his garments not be burnt? If a man shall go upon burning coals shall his feet not be burnt? So he going in to his neighbor's wife; all touching upon her shall not be innocent

He committing adultery with a woman lacked a heart: destroying his soul he will do it. A blow and contempt shall he find; and his reproach shall not be wiped away. For jealousy is the wrath of man, and he will not spare in the day of vengeance. read more.
He will not lift up the face of any ransom, and he will not be willing if thou shalt increase the reward.
He will not lift up the face of any ransom, and he will not be willing if thou shalt increase the reward.
For in the window of my house I looked forth through my lattice, And I shall see among the simple, I shall perceive among the sons a youth wanting heart, Passing in the street near her corner; and he will step the way of her house, read more.
In the twilight, in the evening of the day, in the middle of the night, in the thick darkness: And behold, a woman to his meeting, the attire of a harlot, and hidden of heart She being noisy and perverse; her feet will not dwell in her house: One time without, one time in the broad ways; and she will lie in wait near every corner. She laid hold upon him and kissed to him; she strengthened her face, and she will say to him, Sacrifices of peace upon me: today I repaid my vows. For this, I shall come forth to thy meeting, to seek thy face, and I shall find thee. With adornings I spread my bed, variegated with thread of Egypt I sprinkled my bed with myrrh and aloes and cinnamon. Come, we will be satisfied with loves till the morning: we will rejoice ourselves with loves. For the man not in the house, he went in a way far off. He took a bundle of silver in his hand; he will come to his house the day of the full moon. 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. Till an arrow shall cleave his liver; as a bird hastening to the snare, and not knowing that it is for his soul. 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.

For the lips of the strange woman will drop droppings of the honeycomb, and her palate is smooth above oil: And her latter state being bitter as wormwood; sharp as a two-mouthed sword. Her feet go down to death; her steps will hold fast to hades.
And say, Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Wo to them sewing together cushions for all the joints of the hands, and making cushions upon the head of every height to lie in wait for souls! will ye lie in wait for the souls to my people, and will ye preserve alive the souls to you? Ye will profane me to my people for handfuls of barley and for morsels of bread, to kill the souls which shall not die, and to preserve alive the souls which shall not live, by your falsehood to my people hearing the falsehood?
