2:16To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words;

2:17Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God.

2:18For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead.

2:19None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life.

5:3For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil:

5:4But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a twoedged sword.

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

5:6Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, that thou canst not know them.

5:7Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth.

5:8Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house:

5:9Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel:

5:10Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours be in the house of a stranger;

5:11And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed,

5:12And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;

5:13And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me!

5:14I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly.

5:15Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well.

5:16Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the streets.

5:17Let them be only thine own, and not strangers' with thee.

5:18Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth.

5:19Let 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.

5:20And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?

6:24To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.

6:25Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.

6:26For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life.

6:27Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?

6:28Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned?

6:29So he that goeth in to his neighbour's wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent.

6:32But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul.

6:33A wound and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away.

6:34For jealousy is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance.

6:35He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts.

7:6For at the window of my house I looked through my casement,

7:7And beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding,

7:8Passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house,

7:9In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night:

7:10And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart.

7:11(She is loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house:

7:12Now is she without, now in the streets, and lieth in wait at every corner.)

7:13So she caught him, and kissed him, and with an impudent face said unto him,

7:14I have peace offerings with me; this day have I payed my vows.

7:15Therefore came I forth to meet thee, diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee.

7:16I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with carved works, with fine linen of Egypt.

7:17I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.

7:18Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning: let us solace ourselves with loves.

7:19For the goodman is not at home, he is gone a long journey:

7:20He hath taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at the day appointed.

7:21With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him.

7:22He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks;

7:23Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life.

7:24Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend to the words of my mouth.

7:25Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths.

7:26For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her.

7:27Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death.
