5 My son, listen attentively to my wisdom,
incline your ear to my understanding
2 in order to keep discretion,
and your lips may guard knowledge.
3 For the lips of a strange woman drip fresh honey
and smoother than oil is her palate,
4 but her aftermath is bitter like wormwood,
sharp like a sword of mouths.
5 Her feet are going down to death;
her steps take hold of Sheol.
6 Lest she observe the path of life,
she does not know her tracks are unstable.
7 And now, sons, listen to me;
and do not turn away from the sayings of my mouth.
8 Keep your way far from her
and do not come near to the opening of her house.
9 Lest you give to others your splendor
and your years to a cruel one.
10 Lest strangers be satisfied with your strength
and your toils be in the house of a foreigner,
11 and you groan at your end
when your flesh and your body are finished.
12 And you will say, “How I hated correction
and my heart despised rebuke!
13 And I did not listen to the voice of my teachers
and to my instructors I did not incline my ear.
14 I was almost in all evil
in the midst of the assembly and the congregation.”
15 Drink water from your cistern
and flowing waters from the midst of your well.
16 Should your springs overflow outside,
channels of water in the open areas?
17 Let them be for you, for you alone,
and not for strangers with you.
18 May your fountain be blessed,
and be glad from the wife of your youth!
19 A doe of loves and a mountain goat of grace,
may her breasts drench you on every occasion;
may you continually stagger in her love.
20 And why would you stagger, my son, with a strange woman,
or embrace the bosom of a foreign woman?
21 For in front of the eyes of Yahweh are the ways of a man,
and all of his paths he observes.
22 His iniquities capture him, the wicked one;
and by the cords of his sin he is grasped.
23 He will die because there is no correction;
and in the abundance of his folly he staggers.
