1  My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my
understanding:  2  That thou mayest regard discretion, and
that thy lips may keep knowledge.  3  For the lips of a
strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is
smoother than oil:  4  But her end is bitter as wormwood,
sharp as a twoedged sword.  5  Her feet go down to death;
her steps take hold on hell.  6  Lest thou shouldest ponder
the path of life, her ways are moveable, that thou canst not
know them.  7  Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and
depart not from the words of my mouth.  8  Remove thy way
far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house: 
 9  Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years
to the cruel:  10  Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth;
and thy labours be in the house of a stranger;  11  And thou
mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed, 
 12  And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart
despised reproof;  13  And have not obeyed the voice of my
teachers, nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me! 
 14  I was almost in all evil in the midst of the
congregation and assembly. 

 15  Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running
waters out of thine own well.  16  Let thy fountains be
dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the streets. 
 17  Let them be only thine own, and not strangers' with
thee.  18  Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the
wife of thy youth.  19  Let her be as the loving hind and
pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; and
be thou ravished always with her love.  20  And why wilt
thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace
the bosom of a stranger?  21  For the ways of man are before
the eyes of the LORD, and he pondereth all his goings. 
 22  His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and
he shall be holden with the cords of his sins.  23  He shall
die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly
he shall go astray.
