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.
9 Sit not at all with a woman that has a husband; And revel not with her at the wine; Lest haply your soul turn aside to her, And with your spirit you slide into destruction.
10 Forsake not an old friend; For the new is not comparable to him: As new wine, so is a new friend; If it become old, you shall drink it with gladness.
11 Envy not the glory of a sinner; For you know not what shall be his overthrow.
