To keep thee from the wicked woman, from the flattery of the tongue of her that is a stranger.

Can a man snatch up fire in his bosom, and, his clothes, not be burned? Or can a man walk upon hot coals, and, his feet, not be burned?

Men despise not a thief, when he stealeth, to satisfy his appetite, because he is famished; Yet, if found, he must pay back sevenfold, All the substance of his house, must he give: He that committeth adultery with a woman, lacketh sense, A destroyer of his own life, is he that doeth it; Smiting and shame, shall he find, and, his reproach, shall not be wiped out; For, jealousy, is the rage of a man, nor will he spare, in the day of avenging;

Three, things there are, too difficult for me, yea, four, which I do not understand: The way of an eagle in the heavens, the way of a serpent on the rock, - the way of a ship in the heart of the sea, and the way of a man with a maid. So, is the way of a woman committing adultery, - she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I have done no iniquity!




And, unto the messenger of the assembly, in Thyatira, write: - These things, saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like a flame of fire, and his feet like unto glowing copper: I know thy works, and thy love, and faith, and ministry, and endurance, - and that, thy last works, are more than the first. Nevertheless, I have against thee, that thou sufferest the woman Jezebel, she who calleth herself a prophetess, and is teaching and leading astray my own servants to commit lewdness and to eat idol-sacrifices; read more.
and I gave her time, that she might repent, and she willeth not to repent out of her lewdness. Lo! I cast her into a bed, and them who are committing adultery with her, into great tribulation, - except they repent out of her works;

This, therefore, am I saying and protesting in the Lord: - that, no longer, ye walk even as, the nations, walk - in the vanity of their minds, Being darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God - by reason of the ignorance that existeth within them, by reason of their hearts being turned into stone, Who, indeed, having become past feeling, have delivered, themselves, up, with wantonness, unto making a trade of all impurity with greed.

Inasmuch as, having come to know God, not, as God, did they glorify him, or give him thanks, but were made fruitless in their reasonings, and darkened was their undiscerning heart, Professing to be wise, they were made foolish, And, exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God, for the likeness of an image of a corruptible man, and of birds and fourfooted beasts and reptiles:

The fashioners of an image - all of them, are emptiness, And, the things they delight in, cannot profit, - And, their, witnesses, they, neither see nor know, That they may be ashamed. Who hath fashioned a GOD, Oran image, hath molten? It cannot profit! Lo! all his partners, turn pale, Even, the artificers themselves, are of the sons of earth, - Let them gather themselves together - all of them. Let them take their stand, Let them dread, and turn pale, together! read more.
As for the smith, with his cutting-tool, - When he hath wrought in the live coals, And, with hammers, hath fashioned it, - And hath wrought it with his strong arm, Anon he is hungry, and hath no strength, He hath drunk no water and so hath become faint! As for the carpenter, - He hath stretched out a line hath drawn it with a pencil, Hath made it with carving tools, With compasses, hath rounded it, - And so hath made it after the figure of a great man, After the beauty of a son of earth, that it may remain in a house! When one was cutting him down cedars, Then took he a holm-tree and an oak, And secured them for himself, among the trees of the forest, - He planted a fir-tree and the pouring rain made it grow; So it serveth for a man to burn, And he hath taken of the branches and warmed himself, Also he kindleth a fire, and baketh bread, - Also he maketh a GOD, and hath bowed himself down, Hath made of it a carved image, and adored it: The half thereof, hath he burned in the fire, Over half thereof, he eateth flesh, He roasteth roast, that he may be satisfied, - Also he warmeth himself, and saith, Aha, I am warm, I have seen a blaze; And the residue thereof, Into a GOD, he maketh, Into his carved image, - Adoreth it, and boweth down and prayeth unto it, And saith Deliver me, for, my GOD, thou art! They have not taken note, neither can they perceive, - He hath besmeared - past seeing - their eyes, Past understanding, their hearts; And no one reflecteth - There is neither knowledge nor discernment - to say, Half thereof, have I burned up in the fire Moreover also I have baked, on the coals thereof, breed, I roasted flesh, and have been eating, - And of the remainder thereof, an abomination, shall I make? And, to a log of wood, shall I pay adoration?

So shalt thou grieve in thy latter end, in the failing of thy flesh and of thy healthy condition; And thou shalt say - How I hated correction! and, reproof, my heart disdained; Neither hearkened I to the voice of my teachers, nor, to my instructors, inclined I mine ear: Soon was I in all evil, in the midst of convocation and assembly. Drink thou water out of thine own cistern, and flowing streams out of the midst of thine own well. Let not thy fountains, flow over, abroad, in the streets, dividings of waters: Let them be for thyself, alone, and not for strangers with thee. Let thy well-spring be blessed, - and get thy joy from the wife of thy youth: - A loving hind! a graceful doe! let, her bosom, content thee at all times, and, in her love, mayst thou stray evermore. Wherefore, then, shouldst thou stray, my son, with a strange woman? or embrace the bosom of a woman unknown?

For, in the window of my house, through my lattice, I looked out; And saw among the simple ones, discerned among the youths, A young man lacking sense; Passing through the street, near her corner, and, on the way to her house, he sauntered along; read more.
In the twilight, in the evening of the day, in the midst of the night, and the gloom; And lo! a woman, came to meet him, attired as one unchaste, of a wily heart. Boisterous, is she, and rebellious, In her house, abide not her feet; Now outside, now in the broadways, and, near every corner, she lieth in wait: So she caught him, and kissed him, and, embolding her face, she said to him: Peace-offerings, are by me, to-day, have I paid my vows; For this cause, came I forth to meet thee, to seek diligently thy face, and I have found thee: Coverlets, have I spread on my couch of pleasure, dark-hued stuffs, of the yarn of Egypt; I have sprinkled my bed, with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon: Come! let us take our fill of endearments, until morning, let us delight ourselves with caresses; For the husband is not in his house, he hath gone on a journey afar; A bag of silver, hath he taken in his hand, On the day of the full moon, will he enter his house. She turneth him aside, with her great persuasiveness, - with the flattery of her lips, she compelleth him: Going after her instantly, as an ox, to the slaughter, he entereth, and, as in fetters, unto the correction of a fool. Until an arrow cleaveth his liver, as a bird hasteth into a snare, and knoweth not, that, for his life, it is! Now, therefore, ye sons, hearken unto me, and attend, to the sayings of my mouth; Let not thy heart, turn aside to her ways, Do not go astray, in her paths. For, many, wounded, hath she caused to fail, - yea strong men, slain wholly by her: Ways to hades, are in her house, descending into the chambers of death.
