²⁰ For why shouldest thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, And embrace the bosom of a foreigner?

²⁴ To keep thee from the evil woman, From the flattery of the foreigner's tongue.

⁵ That they may keep thee from the strange woman, From the foreigner that flattereth with her words.

¹ Now king Solomon loved many foreign women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians, and Hittites;

¹⁶ To deliver thee from the strange woman, Even from the foreigner that flattereth with her words;

¹⁷ That forsaketh the friend of her youth, And forgetteth the covenant of her God:

¹⁸ For her house inclineth unto death, And her paths unto the dead;

¹⁹ None that go unto her return again, Neither do they attain unto the paths of life:

¹⁴ The mouth of strange women is a deep pit: He that is abhorred of Jehovah shall fall therein.

²⁷ For a harlot is a deep ditch; And a foreign woman is a narrow pit.

²⁸ Yea, she lieth in wait as a robber, And increaseth the treacherous among men.

³³ Thine eyes shall behold strange things, And thy heart shall utter perverse things.
