Lest you give your splendour to others, And your years to one who is cruel;
Lest thou give thine honour unto others, And thy years unto the cruel:
Lest you give your honor to others and your years to those without mercy,
Lest thou give thine honor unto others, And thy years unto the cruel;
Otherwise, you will give your strength to others, your years to a cruel person.
Do not give your honor to foreigners, and your years to the cruel.
Give not thy honour to strangers, and thy years to the cruel.
“Did not Shelomoh sovereign of Yisra’ĕ
Do not give your strength to women, Nor your ways to wiping away sovereigns.
Lest strangers be filled with your strength, And your labours go to the house of a foreigner.
Keep your way far from her, And do not come near the door of her house,
For because of a whore One is brought to a crust of bread. And an adulteress hunts a precious life.
