| 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. |
