5 son_my to_wisdom_my attentive to_understanding_my incline ear_your.
2 To_guard/protect discretion and_knowledge lips_your they _will _observe.
3 If/because honey they _drip [the]_lips of _a _strange _[woman] and_smoother than_oil speech_her.
4 And_end_she [is]_bitter as _the_wormwood sharp as_sword of _mouths.
5 Feet_her [are]_going _down death Shəʼōl steps_her they _will _attain.
6 [the]_path of _life lest she _should _observe they _wander ways_her not she _knows.
7 and_now Oh _children listen to_me and_not depart from_words mouth_my.
8 Make _far _away from_by_her way_your and_not draw _near to the _entrance house_her.
9 Lest you _should _give to_others honour_your and_years_your to_cruel.
10 Lest they _should _be _satisfied strangers strength_your and_labours_your in_house _of of _a _foreigner.
11 And_groan in/on/at/with_end_your in/on/at/with_consumed flesh_your and_body_your.
12 And_say how I _hated discipline and_reproof it _spurned heart_my.
13 And_not I _listened in/on/at/with_voice teachers_my and_to_instructors_my not I _inclined ear_my.
14 At_almost I _was in/on/at/with_utter calamity in _the_middle [the]_assembly and_congregation.
15 Drink water from_cistern_your _own and_flowing _water from_inside well_your _own.
16 Will _they _overflow springs_your streets_in in/on/at/with_streets streams of _water.
17 Let _them _belong to/for_yourself(m) by_yourself and_not for_strangers with_you.
18 May _it _be fountain_your blessed and_rejoice in_wife youth_your.
19 A _doe of _loves and_doe of _grace breasts_her satisfy_you in/on/at/with_all time in/on/at/with_love_her may _you _be _intoxicated continually.
20 And_for_what will _you _go _astray son_my in/on/at/with_adulteress and_embrace [the]_bosom of _a _foreign _[woman].
21 If/because [are]_in _front _of the _eyes of_YHWH the _ways of _a _person and_all paths_his [he _is]_observing.
22 Iniquities_him[fn] ensnare_him DOM the_wicked and_in/on/at/with_cords sin_his he _will _be _held.
23 He he _will _die in/on/at/with_lack _of discipline and_in/on/at/with_great folly_his he _will _go _astray.

5:22 Note: We agree with both BHS 1997 and BHQ on an unexpected reading.
