⁸ Go far away from her, do not come near the door of her house;

¹⁷⁶ I have gone out of the way like a wandering sheep; make search for your servant; for I keep your teachings ever in mind.

¹⁴ Do not go in the road of sinners, or be walking in the way of evil men.

¹⁵ Keep far from it, do not go near; be turned from it, and go on your way.

²³ He will come to his end for need of teaching; he is so foolish that he will go wandering from the right way.

²⁵ Let not your heart's desire go after her fair body; let not her eyes take you prisoner.

³¹ Keep your eyes from looking on the wine when it is red, when its colour is bright in the cup, when it goes smoothly down:

³² In the end, its bite is like that of a snake, its wound like the wound of a poison-snake.

³³ Your eyes will see strange things, and you will say twisted things.

⁶ We all went wandering like sheep; going every one of us after his desire; and the Lord put on him the punishment of us all.

²⁸ But I say to you that everyone whose eyes are turned on a woman with desire has had connection with her in his heart.
