1. My child, be attentive to my wisdom, and to my understanding incline your ear;
2. in order to keep prudence, and knowledge will guard your lips.
3. For the lips of the strange woman will drip honey, and smoother than oil is her mouth.
4. But her end is bitter as the wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword.
5. Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold of Sheol.
6. She does not observe the path of life; her ways wander, and she does not know it.
7. Now, O children, listen to me; do not depart from the sayings of my mouth.
8. Keep your paths far from her, and do not go near to the door of her house,
