She regardeth not the path of life, so unsteadfast are her ways, that thou canst not know them. Hear me therefore, O my son, and depart not from the words of my mouth. Keep thy way far from her, and come not nigh the doors of her house: That thou give not thine honour unto another, and thy years to the cruel; That other men be not filled with thy goods, and that thy labours come not in a strange house. Yea, that thou mourn not at the last, when thou hast spent thy body and goods, and then say, "Alas, why hated I nurture? Why did my heart despise correction? Wherefore was not I obedient unto the voice of my teachers, and hearken not unto them that informed me? I am come almost into all misfortune, in the midst of the multitude and congregation." Drink of the water of thine own well, and of the rivers that run out of thine own springs. Let thy wells flow out abroad, that there may be rivers of water in the streets: but let them be only thine own, and not strangers' with thee. Let thy well be blessed; and be glad with the wife of thy youth. Let her be as the loving hind, and pleasant roe: let her breasts alway satisfy thee, and hold thee ever content with her love. My son, why wilt thou have pleasure in a harlot, and embrace the bosom of another woman?

That thou mayest be delivered also from the strange woman, and from her that is not thine own: which giveth sweet words, forsaketh the husband of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God. For her house is inclined unto death, and her paths into hell. read more.

that they may keep thee from the evil woman, and from the flattering tongue of the harlot: that thou lust not after her beauty in thine heart, and lest thou be taken with her fair looks. A harlot will make a man to beg his bread, but a married woman will hunt for the precious life. read more.

For out of the window of my house I looked through the trellis, and beheld the simple people: and among other young folks I spied one young fool going over the streets, by the corner, in the way toward the harlot's house; read more.
in the twilight of the evening, when it began now to be night and dark. And behold, there met him a woman with open tokens of a harlot. Only her heart was hid. She was full of loud words and ready to dally: whose feet could not abide in the house. Now is she without, now in the streets, and lurketh in every corner. She caught the young man, kissed him, and was not ashamed, saying, "I had a vow to pay, and this day I perform it. Therefore came I forth to meet thee, that I might seek thy face, and so I have found thee. I have decked my bed with coverings and clothes of Egypt. My bed have I made to smell of Myrrh, Aloes, and Cinnamon. Come, let us lie together, and take our pleasure till it be daylight. For the goodman is not at home, he is gone far off. He hath taken the bag of money with him: who can tell when he cometh home?" Thus with many sweet words she overcame him, and with her flattering lips she enticed him suddenly to follow her - as it were an ox to the slaughter, and like as it were a fool that laugheth when he goeth to the stocks to be punished - so long till she hath wounded his liver with her dart: like as if a bird hasted to the snare, not knowing that the peril of his life lieth thereupon. Hear me now therefore, O my son, and mark the words of my mouth. Let not thine heart wander in her ways, and be thou not deceived in her paths. For many a one hath she wounded and cast down, yea many a strong man hath she slain. Her houses are the way to hell, where men go down into the chambers of death.
