For a harlot `is' a deep ditch, And a strange woman `is' a strait pit.
And it cometh to pass at her speaking unto Joseph day `by' day, that he hath not hearkened unto her, to lie near her, to be with her;
To deliver thee from the strange woman, From the stranger who hath made smooth her sayings,
A deep pit `is' the mouth of strange women, The abhorred of Jehovah falleth there.
And why dost thou magnify thyself, My son, with a stranger? And embrace the bosom of a strange woman?
To call to those passing by the way, Who are going straight `on' their paths.
