1-My son, be attentive to my wisdom, incline your ear to my understanding;
2-that you may keep discretion, and your lips may guard knowledge.
3-For the lips of a loose woman drip honey, and her speech is smoother than oil;
4-but in the end she is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword.
5-Her feet go down to death; her steps follow the path to Sheol;
6-she does not take heed to the path of life; her ways wander, and she does not know it.
7-And now, O sons, listen to me, and do not depart from the words of my mouth.
8-Keep your way far from her, and do not go near the door of her house;
9-lest you give your honor to others and your years to the merciless;
10-lest strangers take their fill of your strength,
11-and at the end of your life you groan, when your flesh and body are consumed,
12-and you say, “How I hated discipline, and my heart despised reproof!
13-I did not listen to the voice of my teachers or incline my ear to my instructions.
14-I was at the point of utter ruin in the assembled congregation.”
15-Drink water from your own cistern, flowing water from your own well.
16-Should your springs be scattered abroad, streams of water in the streets?
17-Let them be for yourself alone, and not for strangers with you.

18-Let your fountain be blessed, and rejoice in the wife of your youth,
19-a lovely hind, a graceful doe Let her affection fill you at all times with delight, be infatuated always with her love.
20-Why should you be infatuated, my son, with a loose woman and embrace the bosom of an adventuress?
21-For a man’s ways are before the eyes of the Lord, and he watches all his paths.
22-The iniquities of the wicked ensnare him, and he is caught in the toils of his sin.
23-He dies for lack of discipline, and because of his great folly he is lost.
