| 1 | My son, pay attention to my wisdom; listen closely to my understanding | My son, be attentive to my wisdom; incline your ear to my understanding, | My son, pay attention to my wisdom, turn your ear to my words of insight, | |
| 2 | so that you may maintain discretion and your lips safeguard knowledge. | that you may keep discretion, and your lips may guard knowledge. | that you may maintain discretion and your lips may preserve knowledge. | |
| 3 | Though the lips of the forbidden woman drip honey and her words are smoother than oil, | For the lips of a forbidden woman drip honey, and her speech is smoother than oil, | For the lips of the adulterous woman drip honey, and her speech is smoother than oil; | |
| 4 | in the end she’s as bitter as wormwood and as sharp as a double-edged sword. | but in the end she is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword. | but in the end she is bitter as gall, sharp as a double-edged sword. | |
