²⁰ [My] son, keep the laws of your father, and reject not the ordinances of your mother: ²¹ but bind them upon your soul continually, and hang them as a chain about your neck. ²² Whenever you walk, lead this along and let it be with you; that it may talk with you when you wake. ²³ For the commandment of the law is a lamp and a light; a way of life; reproof also and correction: ²⁴ to keep you continually from a married woman, and from the calumny of a strange tongue. ²⁵ Let not the desire of beauty overcome you, neither be you caught by your eyes, neither be captivated with her eyelids.

But hasten away, delay not in the place, neither fix your eye upon her: for thus shall you go through strange water; but do you abstain from strange water, and drink not of a strange fountain, that you may live long, and years of life may be added to you.

¹⁴ The mouth of a transgressor is a deep pit; and he that is hated of the Lord shall fall into it. Evil ways are before a man, and he does not like to turn away from them; but it is needful to turn aside from a perverse and bad way.

¹¹ And I said, Who is the man that shall enter into the house, that he may live?

⁹ If my heart has gone forth after another man's wife, and if I laid wait at her doors; ¹⁰ then let my wife also please another, and let my children be brought low. ¹¹ For the rage of anger is not to be controlled, [in the case] of defiling [another] man's wife. ¹² For it is a fire burning on every side, and whoever it attacks, it utterly destroys.

²³ For the fear of the Lord constrained me, and I can’t bear up by reason of his burden.

⁴ You has loved all words of destruction, [and] a deceitful tongue.

³² But the adulterer through lack of sense procures destruction to his soul.

⁸ Remove your way far from her; draw not near to the doors of her house:

²⁵ Let not the desire of beauty overcome you, neither be you caught by your eyes, neither be captivated with her eyelids. ²⁶ For the value of a harlot is as much as of one loaf; and a woman hunts for the precious souls of men.

¹⁴ She sits at the doors of her house, on a seat openly in the streets,

¹⁶ [saying], Whoso is most senseless of you, let him turn aside to me; and I exhort those that lack prudence, saying,

²⁷ For a strange house is a vessel full of holes; and a strange well is narrow.

¹³ Then she caught him, and kissed him, and with an impudent face said to him, ¹⁴ I have a peace-offering; today I pay my vows: ¹⁵ therefore I came forth to meet you, desiring your face; [and] I have found you. ¹⁶ I have spread my bed with sheets, and I have covered it with double tapestry from Egypt. ¹⁷ I have sprinkled my couch with saffron, and my house with cinnamon. ¹⁸ Come, and let us enjoy love until the morning; come, and let us embrace in love. ¹⁹ For my husband is not at home, but is gone on a long journey, ²⁰ having taken in his hand a bundle of money: after many days he will return to his house. ²¹ So with much converse she prevailed on him to go astray, and with the snares of her lips forced him from [the right path]. ²² And he followed her, being gently led on, and [that] as an ox is led to the slaughter, and as a dog to bonds, or as a hart shot in the liver with an arrow: ²³ and he hastens as a bird into a snare, not knowing that he is running for [his] life. ²⁴ Now then, [my] son, listen to me, and attend to the words of my mouth.

²⁶ I and my heart went round about to know, and to examine, and to seek wisdom, and the account [of things], and to know the folly and trouble and madness of the ungodly man.

³⁰ Why should I make a covenant with your daughter, says the Lord, while you do all these things, the works of a harlot? and you have gone a-whoring in a threefold degree with your daughters. ³¹ You have built a house of harlotry in every top of a way, and have set up your high place in every street; and you did become as a harlot gathering hires.

¹⁷ And she spoke to him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew servant, whom you brought in to us, came in to me to mock me, and said to me, I will lie with you.

¹⁵ For surely I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews, and here I have done nothing, but they have cast me into this pit.

¹¹ Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of sinners move me.

³ They shall be afraid, but I will trust in you.

³ Let not your foot be moved; and let not your keeper slumber.

¹⁸ Righteous lips cover enmity; but they that utter railings are most foolish.

⁷ Hear me, you⌃ that know judgment, the people in whose heart is my law: fear not the reproach of men, and be not overcome by their contempt.

¹⁷ I will not suffer any weapon formed against you to prosper; and every voice that shall rise up against you for judgment, you shall vanquish them all; and your adversaries shall be [condemned] thereby. There is an inheritance to them that serve the Lord, and you⌃ shall be righteous before me, says the Lord.

⁵ to those near you, and to those far distant from you; and they shall mock you, [you that are] notoriously unclean, and abundant in iniquities.

¹² While they pressed hard upon me that sought my soul: and they that sought my hurt spoke vanities, and devised deceits all the day.

²² For the princes of my people have not known me, they are foolish and unwise children: they are wise to do evil, but [how] to do good they have not known.
