2. Do what I say, and you will live. Be as careful to follow my teaching as you are to protect your eyes.
3. Keep my teaching with you all the time; write it on your heart.
4. Treat wisdom as your sister, and insight as your closest friend.
5. They will keep you away from other men's wives, from women with seductive words.
6. Once I was looking out of the window of my house,
7. and I saw many inexperienced young men, but noticed one foolish fellow in particular.
8. He was walking along the street near the corner where a certain woman lived. He was passing near her house
9. in the evening after it was dark.
10. And then she met him; she was dressed like a prostitute and was making plans.
11. She was a bold and shameless woman who always walked the streets
12. or stood waiting at a corner, sometimes in the streets, sometimes in the market place.
