- My son, observe the commandment of your father And do not forsake the teaching of your mother;
- Bind them continually on your heart; Tie them around your neck.
- When you walk about, they will guide you; When you sleep, they will watch over you; And when you awake, they will talk to you.
- For the commandment is a lamp and the teaching is light; And reproofs for discipline are the way of life
- To keep you from the evil woman, From the smooth tongue of the adulteress.
|
- Do not desire her beauty in your heart, Nor let her capture you with her eyelids.
- For on account of a harlot one is reduced to a loaf of bread, And an adulteress hunts for the precious life.
- Can a man take fire in his bosom And his clothes not be burned?
- Or can a man walk on hot coals And his feet not be scorched?
- So is the one who goes in to his neighbor's wife; Whoever touches her will not go unpunished.
