 1 My son, attend unto my wisdom, *and* bow thine ear to my understanding:

 2 That thou mayest regard discretion, and *that* thy lips may keep knowledge.

 3 ¶ For the lips of a strange woman drop *as* an honeycomb, and her mouth *is* smoother than oil:*

 4 But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a twoedged sword.

 5 Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.

 6 Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, *that* thou canst not know *them*.

 7 Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth.

 8 Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house:

 9 Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel:

 10 Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours *be* in the house of a stranger;*

 11 And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed,

 12 And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;

 13 And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me!

 14 I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly.

 15 ¶ Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well.

 16 Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, *and* rivers of waters in the streets.

 17 Let them be only thine own, and not strangers’ with thee.

 18 Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth.

 19 *Let her be as* the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with her love.**

 20 And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?

 21 For the ways of man *are* before the eyes of the LORD, and he pondereth all his goings.

 22 ¶ His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden with the cords of his sins.*

 23 He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.
