Lest thou give thine honor unto others, And thy years unto the cruel;
Did not Solomon king of Israel sin by these things? yet among many nations was there no king like him, and he was beloved of his God, and God made him king over all Israel: nevertheless even him did foreign women cause to sin.
Remove thy way far from her, And come not nigh the door of her house;
Lest strangers be filled with thy strength, And thy labors be in the house of an alien,
For on account of a harlot a man is brought to a piece of bread; And the adulteress hunteth for the precious life.
Give not thy strength unto women, Nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings.
