1 Son, listen to this piece of wisdom from me. Pay attention to what I know to be true.
2 Remember to live wisely, and what you learn will keep your lips from saying the wrong thing.
3 Now, another man’s wife might be very charming, and the words from her lips so sweet and inviting.
4 But in the end, she will bring only bitterness and pain. It will be like bitter poison and a sharp sword.
5 She is on a path leading to death, and she will lead you straight to the grave.
6 Don’t follow her. She has lost her way and does not even know it. Be careful. Stay on the road that leads to life.
7 Now, my sons, listen to me. Don’t forget the words I say.
