1. Pay attention, my child, and listen to my wisdom and insight.
2. Then you will know how to behave properly, and your words will show that you have knowledge.
3. The lips of another man's wife may be as sweet as honey and her kisses as smooth as olive oil,
4. but when it is all over, she leaves you nothing but bitterness and pain.
5. She will take you down to the world of the dead; the road she walks is the road to death.
6. She does not stay on the road to life; but wanders off, and does not realize what is happening.
7. Now listen to me, my children, and never forget what I am saying.
8. Keep away from such a woman! Don't even go near her door!
9. If you do, others will gain the respect that you once had, and you will die young at the hands of merciless people.
10. Yes, strangers will take all your wealth, and what you have worked for will belong to someone else.
