A man who loveth wisdom, gladdeneth his father, but, a companion of harlots, destroyeth wealth.
For, this, ye know, if ye take note - that no fornicator, or impure or greedy person, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of the Christ and God. Let no one be deceiving you with empty words; for, because of these things, is coming the anger of God upon the sons of obstinacy: Do not, then, become co-partners with them;
Now we know that, excellent, is the law, if one put it to a lawful use: - Knowing this - that, to a righteous man, law, doth not apply, but to the lawless and insubordinate, ungodly and sinful, irreligious and profane, smiters of fathers and smiters of mothers, murderers, fornicators, sodomites, man-stealers, liars, false- swearers, - and, if anything else, unto the healthful teaching, is opposed; -
I, am the A and the Z, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. Happy, they who are washing their robes, that their right may be unto the tree of life and, by the gates, they may enter into the city. Outside, are the dogs, and the sorcerers, and the unchaste, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and every one loving and doing falsehood.
To rescue thee, from the woman that is a stranger, from the female unknown, who with her speeches seduceth; Who forsaketh the friend of her youth, and, the covenant of her God, hath forgotten; For she hath appointed, unto death, her house, and unto the shades, her courses; read more.

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; 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!

My son, to my wisdom, attend, and, to mine understanding, incline thou thine ear: That thou mayest preserve discretion, - and, as for knowledge, that thy lips may guard it. For, with sweet droppings, drip the lips of her that is a stranger, and, smoother than oil, is her mouth; read more.
But, the latter end of her, is bitter as wormwood, sharp, as a two-edged sword! Her feet, are going down to death, - on hades, will her steps take firm hold. Lest, the path of life, she should ponder, her tracks have wandered she knoweth not whither . Now, therefore, ye sons, hearken unto me, and do not turn away from the sayings of my mouth. Keep far from her thy way, and do not go near the opening of her house: Lest thou give, to other men, thy vigour, and thy years, to him that is cruel: Lest strange men, be well fed, by thy strength, and, thy toils, be in the house of the alien. 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.

Do not profane thy daughter by causing her to be unchaste, - lest the land fall to unchastity, and so the land be filled with wickedness.
Unchastity, and wine, and new wine, take away the heart. My people, of their Wood, do ask, - Let, their Staff, then tell them, - for, the spirit of unchastity, hath led them astray, and they have unchastely departed from under their God.
Because of the multitude of the unchaste doings of the unchaste one, fair in grace, mistress of secret arts, - who hath been selling nations by her unchaste doings, families by her secret arts, Behold me! against thee, Declareth Yahweh of hosts, Therefore will I remove thy shirts over thy face, - and let, nations, see thy nakedness, and, kingdoms, thy shame; And I will cast upon thee abominable filth, and treat thee as foolish, - and set thee as a gazing-stock. read more.

Because, for the sake of an impure woman, a man may be brought even to a cake of bread, - and, a man's wife, for a precious soul, may hunt! 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?
He hath said, If a man send away his wife, and she go from him and become another man's, will he return unto her, again? would not that land be, utterly defiled? And, thou, hast been unchaste with many neighbours, and yet thinkest to return unto me! Declareth Yahweh. Lift up thine eyes unto the bare heights and see - where thou hast not been unchastely embraced! beside the ways, hast thou sat to them, like the Arabian m the desert, - and hast defiled the land with thine unchastities, and with thy wickedness. Therefore have been withholden the showers, And, the latter rain, hath not come, - Yet the forehead of an unchaste woman, hast thou, Thou hast refused to be ashamed.
And it came to pass after all thy wickedness, Woe! Woe! to thee, Exclaimeth My Lord Yahweh; That thou didst build thee a brothel, - and didst make thee a height in every broadway: At the head of every road, didst thou bud thy height, And bring thy beauty into disgust, And open thy feet to every passer-by, So didst thou make thine unchaste ways to abound. read more.
Then didst thou extend thine unchaste acts unto the sons of Egypt - thy neighbour great of flesh,- And caused thine unchaste ways to abound provoking me to anger. Lo! therefore, I have stretched out my hand against thee, And diminished thine allotted portion, - And have delivered thee up unto the desire of them who hate thee The daughters of the Philistines, who are ashamed of thy lewd way. Thou didst also extend thine unchastity unto the sons of Assyria, because thou wast insatiable. Yet though thou didst behave unchastely with them, yet even so couldst thou not be satisfied, Thou didst therefore cause thine unchaste ways to abound unto the land of Canaan as towards Chaldea. Yet even herewith, wast thou not satisfied. How weak was thy heart! Exclaimeth My Lord Yahweh, - That thou couldst have done all these things, The doing of a lewd woman without shame: That thou couldst have but thy brothel at the head of every road, And thy height, couldst have made in every broadway,- Yet becamest not as harlot to lay claim to a harlots hire. A wife who committeth adultery, instead of her husband accepteth strangers. To all harlots, they give a present, But thou, didst give thy presents to all thy lovers, And didst bribe them to come in unto thee from every side in thine unchastity! And so there came about in thee, the reverse of women, in thine unchastity, In that they did not follow thee for purposes of lewdness, - And in that thou gavest a present when no present was given to thee So didst thou become the reverse. Therefore O harlot, hear thou the word of Yahweh; Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, - Because thy money was poured curl, and thy shame I was uncovered I, in thine unchastity, unto thy lovers, - and unto all thine abominable manufactured gods, even as the blood of thy children, whom thou didst deliver up unto them, Therefore behold me! gathering together all thy lovers unto whom thou didst make thyself pleasant, Even all whom thou lovedst, With all whom thou hatedst, - Yea I will gather them together unto thee from every side And will uncover thy shame unto them, And they shall see all thy shame. So will I judge thee. with the judgments meted out to adulteresses and shedders of blood,- And will repay thee with the blood of indignation and jealousy; And will deliver thee into their hand. And they shall pull down thy brothel And break in pieces thy heights, And strip thee of thy raiment, And take away thine adorning jewels,- And leave thee utterly naked. Then will they bring up against thee a gathered host, And they will stone thee with stones,- And cut thee to pieces with their swords; And burn up thy houses with fire, And execute upon thee judgments before the eyes of many women, - So will I cause thee to cease from acting unchastely, Moreover also a present, shalt thou not give any more. So will I let mine indignation find rest in thee, And my jealousy shall depart from thee, - And I will be quiet, and not be provoked any more. Because thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, But hast enraged me with all these things Therefore also behold! I thy way, upon thine own head, will place Declareth My Lord Yahweh, And thou shalt not commit a crime above all thine abominations Lo! every one who useth proverbs, against thee, shall use a proverb saying, - Like the mother, so her daughter!

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.
Say unto wisdom, My sister, thou! and, an acquaintance, call thou, understanding: That thou mayest be kept, from the woman that is a stranger, from the female unknown, who, with her speeches, doth flatter. For, in the window of my house, through my lattice, I looked out; read more.
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; 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.
