- 1 My son, pay attention to my wisdom; and turn your ear to my understanding,
- 2 That you may keep discretion, and that your lips may keep knowledge.
- 3 Because, the lips of an immoral woman drip like a honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil;
- 4 But her end is as bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two edged sword.
- 5 Her feet go down to death, her steps lay hold of hell.
- 6 Lest you should ponder the path of life, her ways are unstable; so that you cannot not know them.
- 7 Therefore hear me now, O you children, and do not depart from the words of my mouth.
- 8 Remove your way far from her, and do not go near the door of her house,
- 9 Lest you give your honor to others, and your years to the cruel;
- 10 Lest foreigners be filled with your wealth, and your labors be the house of a foreigner;
- 11 And you mourn at the end, when your flesh and your body are consumed,
- 12 And say: “How I have hated instruction, and my heart despised correction!
- 13 I have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined my ear to those who instructed me!
