Lest you give your honor to others, and your years to a merciless one;
Did not Solomon, the king of Israel, sin because of them? Though among the many nations there was no king like him, and though he was beloved of his God and God had made him king over all Israel, yet even he was led into sin by foreign women.
Do not give your vigor to women, or your strength to those who ruin kings.
Lest outsiders take their fill of your wealth, and your hard-won earnings go to another’s house;
Keep your way far from her, do not go near the door of her house,
For the price of a harlot may be scarcely a loaf of bread, But a married woman is a trap for your precious life.
