20My son, keep the laws of thy father, And reject not the ordinances of thy mother:
21But bind them upon thy soul continually, And hang them as a chain about thy neck.
22Whensoever thou walkest, lead this along and let it be with thee; And when thou sleepest let it keep thee; That it may talk with thee when thou wakest.
23For the commandment of the law is a lamp and a light; A way of life; reproof also and correction:
24To keep thee continually from a married woman, And from the calumny of a strange tongue.
25Let not the desire of beauty overcome thee, Neither be thou caught by thine eyes, Neither be captivated with her eyelids.
26For the value of a harlot is as much as of one loaf; And a woman hunts for the precious souls of men.
27Shall anyone bind fire in his bosom, And not burn his garments?
28Or will anyone walk on coals of fire, And not burn his feet?
29So is he that goes in to a married woman; He shall not be held guiltless, neither anyone that touches her.
30It is not to be wondered at if one should be taken stealing, For he steals that when hungry he may satisfy his soul:
31But if he should be taken, he shall repay sevenfold, And shall deliver himself by giving all his goods.
32But the adulterer through want of sense procures destruction to his soul.
