My sonH1121, attendH7181 unto my wisdomH2451, and bowH5186 thine earH241 to my understandingH8394:
That thou mayest regardH8104 discretionH4209, and that thy lipsH8193 may keepH5341 knowledgeH1847.
For the lipsH8193 of a strange womanH2114 dropH5197 as an honeycombH5317, and her mouthH2441 is smootherH2509 than oilH8081: {mouth: Heb. palate}
But her endH319 is bitterH4751 as wormwoodH3939, sharpH2299 as a twoedgedH6310 swordH2719.
Her feetH7272 go downH3381 to deathH4194; her stepsH6806 take holdH8551 on hellH7585.
Lest thou shouldest ponderH6424 the pathH734 of lifeH2416, her waysH4570 are moveableH5128, that thou canst not knowH3045 them.
HearH8085 me now therefore, O ye childrenH1121, and departH5493 not from the wordsH561 of my mouthH6310.
RemoveH7368 thy wayH1870 farH7368 from her, and come not nighH7126 the doorH6607 of her houseH1004:
Lest thou giveH5414 thine honourH1935 unto othersH312, and thy yearsH8141 unto the cruelH394:
Lest strangersH2114 be filledH7646 with thy wealthH3581; and thy laboursH6089 be in the houseH1004 of a strangerH5237; {thy wealth: Heb. thy strength}
And thou mournH5098 at the lastH319, when thy fleshH1320 and thy bodyH7607 are consumedH3615,
And sayH559, How have I hatedH8130 instructionH4148, and my heartH3820 despisedH5006 reproofH8433;
And have not obeyedH8085 the voiceH6963 of my teachersH3384, nor inclinedH5186 mine earH241 to them that instructedH3925 me!
I was almostH4592 in all evilH7451 in the midstH8432 of the congregationH6951 and assemblyH5712.
DrinkH8354 watersH4325 out of thine own cisternH953, and running watersH5140 out ofH8432 thine own wellH875.
Let thy fountainsH4599 be dispersedH6327 abroadH2351, and riversH6388 of watersH4325 in the streetsH7339.
Let them be only thine own, and not strangers'H2114 with thee.
Let thy fountainH4726 be blessedH1288: and rejoiceH8055 with the wifeH802 of thy youthH5271.
Let her be as the lovingH158 hindH365 and pleasantH2580 roeH3280; let her breastsH1717 satisfyH7301 thee at all timesH6256; and be thou ravishedH7686 alwaysH8548 with her loveH160. {satisfy…: Heb. water thee} {be thou…: Heb. err thou always in her love}
And why wilt thou, my sonH1121, be ravishedH7686 with a strange womanH2114, and embraceH2263 the bosomH2436 of a strangerH5237?
For the waysH1870 of manH376 are beforeH5227 the eyesH5869 of the LORDH3068, and he ponderethH6424 all his goingsH4570.
His own iniquitiesH5771 shall takeH3920 the wickedH7563 himself, and he shall be holdenH8551 with the cordsH2256 of his sinsH2403. {sins: Heb. sin}
He shall dieH4191 without instructionH4148; and in the greatnessH7230 of his follyH200 he shall go astrayH7686.

And I findH4672 more bitterH4751 than deathH4194 the womanH802, whose heartH3820 is snaresH4685 and netsH2764, and her handsH3027 as bandsH612: whoso pleasethH2896+H6440 GodH430 shall escapeH4422 from her; but the sinnerH2398 shall be takenH3920 by her. {whoso…: Heb. he that is good before God}
