I will teach you the fear of Jehovah.

⁷ And I beheld among the simple ones,
I discerned among the youths,
A young man void of understanding, ⁸ Passing through the street near her corner;
And he went the way to her house, ⁹ In the twilight, in the evening of the day,
In the middle of the night and in the darkness. ¹⁰ And, behold, there met him a woman
With the attire of a harlot, and wily of heart. ¹¹ (She is clamorous and wilful;
Her feet abide not in her house: ¹² Now she is in the streets, now in the broad places,
And lieth in wait at every corner.) ¹³ So she caught him, and kissed him,
[And] with an impudent face she said unto him: ¹⁴ Sacrifices of peace-offerings are with me;
This day have I paid my vows. ¹⁵ Therefore came I forth to meet thee,
Diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee. ¹⁶ I have spread my couch with carpets of tapestry,
With striped cloths of the yarn of Egypt. ¹⁷ I have perfumed my bed
With myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. ¹⁸ Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning;
Let us solace ourselves with loves. ¹⁹ For the man is not at home;
He is gone a long journey: ²⁰ He hath taken a bag of money with him;
He will come home at the full moon. ²¹ With her much fair speech she causeth him to yield;
With the flattering of her lips she forceth him along. ²² He goeth after her straightway,
As an ox goeth to the slaughter,
Or as [one in] fetters to the correction of the fool; ²³ Till an arrow strike through his liver;
As a bird hasteth to the snare,
And knoweth not that it is for his life.
²⁴ Now therefore, [my] sons, hearken unto me,
And attend to the words of my mouth.

⁵ O ye simple, understand prudence;
And, ye fools, be of an understanding heart.

And find out knowledge [and] discretion.

And those that seek me diligently shall find me.

³² Now therefore, [my] sons, hearken unto me;
For blessed are they that keep my ways.

⁴ Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither:
As for him that is void of understanding, she saith to him, ⁵ Come, eat ye of my bread,
And drink of the wine which I have mingled. ⁶ Leave off, ye simple ones, and live;
And walk in the way of understanding.

⁹ Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth, and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thy heart, and in the sight of thine eyes; but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment.
