| 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. |
