- 1. My sonne, attend vnto my wisedome, and bowe thine eare to my vnderstanding.
- 2. That thou mayest regard discretion, and that thy lips may keepe knowledge.
- 3. For the lips of a strange woman drop as an hony combe, and her mouth is smoother then oyle.
- 4. But her end is bitter as wormewood, sharpe as a two edged sword.
- 5. Her feete goe downe to death: her steps take hold on hell.
- 6. Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her wayes are moueable, that thou canst not know them.
- 7. Heare me now therefore, O yee children: & depart not from the words of my mouth.
- 8. Remoue thy way farre from her, and come not nie the doore of her house:
- 9. Lest thou giue thine honour vnto others, and thy yeeres vnto the cruell:
- 10. Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth, and thy labors be in the house of a stranger,
- 11. And thou mourne at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed,
- 12. And say, How haue I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproofe?
- 13. And haue not obeyed the voyce of my teachers, nor inclined mine eare to them that instructed me?
- 14. I was almost in all euill, in the midst of the congregation & assembly.
- 15. Drinke waters out of thine owne cisterne, and running waters out of thine owne well.
- 16. Let thy fountaines bee dispersed abroad, and riuers of waters in the streets.
- 17. Let them be onely thine owne, and not strangers with thee.
- 18. Let thy fountaine be blessed: and reioyce with the wife of thy youth.
- 19. Let her bee as the louing Hinde and pleasant Roe, let her breasts satisfie thee at all times, and be thou rauisht alwayes with her loue.
- 20. And why wilt thou, my sonne, be rauisht with a strange woman, and imbrace the bosome of a stranger?
- 21. For the wayes of man are before the eyes of the Lord, and he pondereth all his goings.
- 22. His owne iniquities shall take the wicked himselfe, and he shall be holden with the coards of his sinnes.
- 23. He shall die without instruction, and in the greatnesse of his folly he shal goe astray.
