On Avoiding the Immoral Woman

7My son, guard what I say and treasure my commands.H1121H8104H561H6845H4687
2Keep my commands and you'll live. Guard my teaching as you do your eyesight.H8104H4687H2421H8451H380H5869
3Strap them to your fingers, and engrave them on the tablet of your heart.H7194H676H3789H3871H3820
4Say to wisdom, "You're my sister!" and call understanding your close relative,H559H2451H269H7121H998H4129
5so they can keep you from an adulterous woman, from the immoral woman with her seductive words.H8104H2114H802H5237H2505H561

A Father’s Warning

6For from a window in my house I peered through the lattice work,H2474H1004H8259H822
7and I noticed among the na?ve? that is, I discerned among the youths? a senseless young man.H7200H6612H995H1121H5288H2638H3820
8Proceeding down the street near her corner, he makes his way toward her houseH5674H7784H681H6434H6805H1870H1004
9at twilight, during the evening, even during the darkest part of the night.H5399H3117H6153H380H653H3915
10Look! A woman makes her way to meet him, dressed as a prostitute and intending to entrap him.H7125H802H7897H2181H5341H3820
11She is brazen and defiant? her feet don't remain at home.H1993H5637H7272H7931H1004
12Now she is in the street, now in the plazas, she lurks near every corner.H6471H2351H6471H7339H693H681H6438
13So she grabs hold of him and kisses him, with a brazen face she speaks to him,H2388H5401H5810H6440H559
14"I have given my peace offerings, and today I fulfilled my vows.H8002H2077H3117H7999H5088
15Therefore I've come out to meet you, I've looked just for you, and I found you!H3318H7125H7836H6440H4672
16I've decorated my bed with new coverings? embroidered linen from Egypt.H7234H6210H4765H2405H330H4714
17I've perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.H5130H4904H4753H174H7076
18Come, let's make love until dawn; let's comfort ourselves with love,H3212H7301H1730H1242H5965H159
19because my husband isn't home. He left on a long trip.H376H1004H1980H7350H1870
20He took a fist full of cash and he'll return home in a month."H3947H6872H3701H3027H935H1004H3117H3677
21She leads him astray with great persuasion; with flattering lips she seduces him.H7230H3948H5186H2506H8193H5080
22All of a sudden he follows her like an ox fit for slaughter or like a fool fit for a trapH1980H310H6597H7794H935H2874H191H4148H5914
23until an arrow pierces his liver. As a bird darts into a snare, he doesn't realize his fatal decision.H2671H6398H3516H6833H4116H6341H3045H5315
24So listen to me, my sons, and pay attention to what I have to say.H8085H1121H7181H561H6310
25Don't be led astray by her lifestyle, and don't imitate her behavior.H3820H7847H1870H8582H5410
26For many are the victims whom she has conquered, and many are her slain.H5307H7227H2491H6099H2026
27Her house leads to Sheol, descending to death's catacombs.H1004H1870H7585H3381H2315H4194
