- She does not ponder the path of life; Her ways are unstable, she does not know it.
- Now then, my sons, listen to me And do not depart from the words of my mouth.
- Keep your way far from her And do not go near the door of her house,
- Or you will give your vigor to others And your years to the cruel one;
- And strangers will be filled with your strength And your hard-earned goods will go to the house of an alien;
|
- Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, that thou canst not know them.
- Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth.
- Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house:
- Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel:
- Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours be in the house of a stranger;
