Pay attention, my son, and listen to my wisdom and insight. Then you will know how to behave properly, and your words will show that you have knowledge. The lips of another man's wife may be as sweet as olive-oil, but when it is all over, she leaves you nothing but bitterness and pain. She will take take you down to the world of death. She does not stay on the road to life; but wanders off, and does not realize what is happening.
Now listen to me, my sons, and never forget what i am saying. Keep away from such a woman! Don't even go near her door! If you do, others wil gain the respect that once you had, and you will die young at the hands of merciless men. Yes, stangers will take all your wealth, and what you have worked for will belong to someone else. You will live groaning on your deathbed, your flesh and muscles beign eaten away, and you will say, "Why would i never learn? Why would I never let anyone correct me? I would'nt listen to my teachers. I paid no attention to them. And suddenly i found myself publicaly discgraced."
Be faithful to your own wife and give your love to her alone. Children that you have from another women will do you no good. Your children will grow up to help you, not strangers. So be happy with your wife and find your joy with the girl that you married-pretty and graceful as a deer. Let her charms keep you happy; let her surround you with her love. Why should you give your love to another woman, my son? Why should you prefer the charm of another man's wife? The Lord sees everything you do. Whereever you go, he is watching. The sins of a wicked man are a trap. He gets caught in the net of his own sin. He dies because he has no self-control. His utter stupidity will send him to grave.
