1My son, keep my sayings, and let my rules be stored up with you.
2Keep my rules and you will have life; let my teaching be to you as the light of your eyes;
3Let them be fixed to your fingers, and recorded in your heart.
4Say to wisdom, You are my sister; let knowledge be named your special friend:
5So that they may keep you from the strange woman, even from her whose words are smooth.
6Looking out from my house, and watching through the window,
7I saw among the young men one without sense,
8Walking in the street near the turn of her road, going on the way to her house,
9At nightfall, in the evening of the day, in the black dark of the night.
10And the woman came out to him, in the dress of a loose woman, with a designing heart;
11She is full of noise and uncontrolled; her feet keep not in her house.
12Now she is in the street, now in the open spaces, waiting at every turning of the road.
13So she took him by his hand, kissing him, and without a sign of shame she said to him:
14I have a feast of peace-offerings, for today my oaths have been effected.
15So I came out in the hope of meeting you, looking for you with care, and now I have you.
