1	בְּ֭נִי לְחָכְמָתִ֣י הַקְשִׁ֑יבָה לִ֝תְבוּנָתִ֗י הַט־ אָזְנֶֽךָ׃	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	לִשְׁמֹ֥ר מְזִמּ֑וֹת וְ֝דַ֗עַת שְׂפָתֶ֥יךָ יִנְצֹֽרוּ׃	that you may keep discretion, and your lips may guard knowledge.	that you may maintain discretion and your lips may preserve knowledge.
3	כִּ֤י נֹ֣פֶת תִּ֭טֹּפְנָה שִׂפְתֵ֣י זָרָ֑ה וְחָלָ֖ק מִשֶּׁ֣מֶן חִכָּֽהּ׃	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	וְֽ֭אַחֲרִיתָהּ מָרָ֣ה כַֽלַּעֲנָ֑ה חַ֝דָּ֗ה כְּחֶ֣רֶב פִּיּֽוֹת׃	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.
5	רַ֭גְלֶיהָ יֹרְד֣וֹת מָ֑וֶת שְׁ֝א֗וֹל צְעָדֶ֥יהָ יִתְמֹֽכוּ׃	Her feet go down to death; her steps follow the path to Sheol;	Her feet go down to death; her steps lead straight to the grave.
6	אֹ֣רַח חַ֭יִּים פֶּן־ תְּפַלֵּ֑ס נָע֥וּ מַ֝עְגְּלֹתֶ֗יהָ לֹ֣א תֵדָֽע׃ פ	she does not ponder the path of life; her ways wander, and she does not know it.	She gives no thought to the way of life; her paths wander aimlessly, but she does not know it.
