| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding: |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2That thou mayest regard discretion, and that thy lips may keep knowledge. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil: |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a twoedged sword. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, that thou canst not know them. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house: |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel: |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours be in the house of a stranger; |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed, |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof; |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me! |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well. |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the streets. |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17Let them be only thine own, and not strangers' with thee. |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth. |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19Let 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[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger? |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and he pondereth all his goings. |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden with the cords of his sins. |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray. |
