- 1
- My son! to my wisdom give attention, To mine understanding incline thine ear,
- 2
- To observe thoughtfulness, And knowledge do thy lips keep.
- 3
- For the lips of a strange woman drop honey, And smoother than oil `is' her mouth,
- 4
- And her latter end `is' bitter as wormwood, Sharp as a sword `with' mouths.
- 5
- Her feet are going down to death, Sheol do her steps take hold of.
- 6
- The path of life -- lest thou ponder, Moved have her paths -- thou knowest not.
- 7
- And now, ye sons, hearken to me, And turn not from sayings of my mouth.
- 8
- Keep far from off her thy way, And come not near unto the opening of her house,
- 9
- Lest thou give to others thy honour, And thy years to the fierce,
- 10
- Lest strangers be filled `with' thy power, And thy labours in the house of a stranger,
- 11
- And thou hast howled in thy latter end, In the consumption of thy flesh and thy food,
- 12
- And hast said, `How have I hated instruction, And reproof hath my heart despised,
- 13
- And I have not hearkened to the voice of my directors, And to my teachers have not inclined mine ear.
- 14
- As a little thing I have been all evil, In the midst of an assembly and a company.
- 15
- Drink waters out of thine own cistern, Even flowing ones out of thine own well.
- 16
- Let thy fountains be scattered abroad, In broad places rivulets of waters.
- 17
- Let them be to thee for thyself, And not to strangers with thee.
- 18
- Let thy fountain be blessed, And rejoice because of the wife of thy youth,
- 19
- A hind of loves, and a roe of grace! Let her loves satisfy thee at all times, In her love magnify thyself continually.
- 20
- And why dost thou magnify thyself, My son, with a stranger? And embrace the bosom of a strange woman?
- 21
- For over-against the eyes of Jehovah are the ways of each, And all his paths He is pondering.
- 22
- His own iniquities do capture the wicked, And with the ropes of his sin he is holden.
- 23
- He dieth without instruction, And in the abundance of his folly magnifieth himself!
