³ for the lips of a stranger drip as a honeycomb and her palate is smoother than ointment: ⁴ but her finality is bitter as wormwood sharp as a sword of mouths: ⁵ her feet descend to death; her paces hold on to sheol: ⁶ lest you weigh the path of life her routes drift so that you know them not. ⁷ Hear me now, O you sons, and turn not aside from the sayings of my mouth: ⁸ remove your way far from her and come not near the portal of her house; ⁹ lest you give your honor to others and your years to the cruel: ¹⁰ lest strangers satiate with your produce; and your contorting be in the house of a stranger: ¹¹ and you growl at the finality when your flesh and your meat finish off, ¹² and say, How I hated discipline and my heart scorned reproof: ¹³ and I neither obeyed the voice of my teachers nor spread my ear to them who taught me: ¹⁴ I was almost in all evil midst the congregation and witness. ¹⁵ Drink waters from your own well and flowings from your own well: ¹⁶ why shatter the fountains in the outways and rivulets of waters in the broadways? ¹⁷ They are only your own and not strangers with you. ¹⁸ Blessed - your fountain.

²⁴ to guard you from the evil woman: from the tongue of a stranger who smoothes it over. ²⁵ Neither desire her beauty in your heart; nor be overtaken by her eyelids: ²⁶ for a woman whores for a round of bread; and a woman of a man hunts for the esteemed soul. ²⁷ Takes a man fire in his bosom and not burn his clothes? ²⁸ - a man go on coals and not blister his feet? ²⁹ Thus he who goes in to the woman of his friend; whoever touches her is not exonerated.

⁵ to guard you from the strange woman - from the stranger who smoothes it over with her sayings. ⁶ For at a window of my house I look through my lattice; ⁷ and see among the gullible: I discern among the sons a lad lacking heart ⁸ passing through the street beside her corner: and he paces the way to her house ⁹ in the evening breeze - in the evening of the day in the darkness of midnight: ¹⁰ and behold, a woman meets him with the masculine garment of a whore: with guarded heart ¹¹ she roars and revolts; her feet tabernacle not in her house ¹² - at this time in the outways at that time in the broadways and lurks beside every corner. ¹³ She holds him and kisses him and with strengthened face says to him, ¹⁴ I have shelamim with me; this day I shalamed my vows: ¹⁵ so I come to meet you early seeking your face, and I find you: ¹⁶ I spread my bedstead with spreads, with carvings, with tapestry of Misrayim: ¹⁷ I rubbed my bed with myrrh, aloes and cinnamon: ¹⁸ come, we satiate with loves until the morning - leap for joy with loves: ¹⁹ for the man is not in his house; - gone on a far journey: ²⁰ he took a bundle of silver in his hand; and comes home at the day of the full moon. ²¹ With her abundant doctrine, she spreads him out; with the smoothing over of her lips she drives him: ²² suddenly he goes after her - as an ox going to the slaughter - as a fool to the discipline of tinklers: ²³ until an arrow strikes through his liver; as a bird hastens to the snare and knows not it is for his soul. ²⁴ Now, you sons, hearken to me; hearken to the sayings of my mouth: ²⁵ neither deviate your heart to her ways; nor stray in her paths: ²⁶ for she casts down many pierced; slaughters many mighty: ²⁷ her house is the way to sheol descending to the chambers of death.

²⁶ and I find more bitter than death the woman whose heart is lairs and devoted and her hands as bands; whoever is good at the face of Elohim escapes from her; and the sinner is captured by her.
