1: My son,H1121 to my wisdom,H2451 pay attentionH7181 to my understanding-H8394 LendH5186 your ear.H0241

2: That you may preserveH8104 discretion,H4209 and knowledgeH1847 your lipsH8193 may keep.H5341

3: ForH3588 honey,H5317 dripH5197 the lipsH8193 of an immoral womanH2114 and smootherH2509 than oil-H8081 her mouth [is].H2441

4: But in the endH0319 she is bitterH4751 as wormwood,H3939 SharpH2299 as a swordH2719 two-edged.H6310

5: Her feetH7272 go downH3381 to death-H4194 of hellH7585 Her stepsH6806 lay hold.H8551

6: [her] pathH0734 of life,H2416 lestH6435 you ponderH6424 are unstable,H5128 Her waysH4570 notH3808 You do know [them].H3045

7: Therefore nowH6258 [my] children,H1121 hearH8085 and notH0408 do departH5493 from the wordsH0561 of my mouth.H6310

8: Remove farH7368 from herH5921 your wayH1870 and notH0408 do go nearH7126 toH0413 the doorH6607 of her house,H1004

9: lestH6435 you giveH5414 to others,H0312 your honorH1935 and your yearsH8141 to the cruel [one]-H0394

10: lestH6435 be filledH7646 aliensH2114 with your wealth-H3581 and your labors [go]H6089 to the houseH1004 of a foreigner-H5237

11: and you mournH5098 at last,H0319 when are consumed,H3615 your fleshH1320 and your body.H7607

12: And say,H0559 howH0349 I have hatedH8130 instruction,H4148 and correction-H8433 despisedH5006 my heart.H3820

13: And notH3808 I have obeyedH8085 the voiceH6963 of my teachers,H3384 and to those who instructed meH3925 norH3808 inclinedH5186 my ear.H0241

14: On the vergeH4592 I wasH1961 of totalH3605 ruinH7451 in the midstH8432 of the congregationH6951 and assembly.H5712

15: DrinkH8354 waterH4325 from your own cistern,H0953 and running waterH5140 fromH8432 your own well.H0875

16: Should be dispersedH6327 your fountainsH4599 abroad,H2351 in the streetsH7339 StreamsH6388 of water.H4325

17: Let them beH1961 onlyH0905 and notH0369 for strangersH2114 with you.H0854

18: Let beH1961 your fountainH4726 blessed,H1288 and rejoiceH8055 with the wifeH0802 of your youth.H5271

19: [As a] deerH0365 of loveH0158 and a doe-H3280 gracefulH2580 her breastsH1717 let satisfy youH7301 at allH3605 times-H6256 with her loveH0160 and be enrapturedH7686 always.H8548

20: For whyH4100 should you be enrapturedH7686 my son,H1121 by an immoral woman,H2114 and be embracedH2263 in the armsH2436 of a seductress?H5237

21: forH3588 [are] beforeH5227 the eyesH5869 of YahwehH3069 the waysH1870 of manH0376 and allH3605 his pathsH4570 He ponders.H6424

22: His own iniquitiesH5771 entrapH3920 -H0853 the wicked [man]H7563 and in the cordsH8551 of his sinH2403 he is caught.H2256

23: HeH1931 shall dieH4191 for lackH0369 of instruction-H4148 and in the greatnessH7230 of his follyH0200 he shall go astray.H7686
