He who is guarantor for a stranger suffers harm, But one who hates shaking hands in pledge is safe.
To deliver you from the strange woman, From the foreigner who flatters with her words,
There is gold and a multitude of rubies, But the lips of knowledge are a precious vessel.
Bread gained by deceit might be sweet to a man, But afterward his mouth is filled with gravel.
Take the garment of him who is guarantor for a stranger, And for a strange woman pledge it.
For the lips of a strange woman drip honey, And her mouth is smoother than oil;
My son, if you: Have become guarantor for your friend, Have shaken hands in pledge for a stranger,
And look, a woman met him, Dressed like a whore, With a hidden heart.
To guard you against the strange woman, Against the foreigner who flatters with her words.
