2 Give not your soul to a woman, That she should set her foot upon your strength.
3 Go not to meet a woman that playeth the harlot, Lest haply you fall into her snares.
4 Use not the company of a woman that is a singer, Lest haply you be caught by her attempts.
5 Gaze not on a maid, lest haply you be trapped in her penalties.
6 Give not your soul to harlots, That you lose not your inheritance.
7 Look not round about you in the streets of the city, Neither wander you in the solitary places thereof.
8 Turn away your eye from a comely woman, And gaze not on another’s beauty: By the beauty of a woman many have been led astray; And herewith love is kindled as a fire.
