¹⁰ 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;

⁸ and he refuseth, and saith unto his lord's wife, `Lo, my lord hath not known what `is' with me in the house, and all that he hath he hath given into my hand;

²² and the youthful lusts flee thou, and pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace, with those calling upon the Lord out of a pure heart;

¹⁴ I wish, therefore, younger ones to marry, to bear children, to be mistress of the house, to give no occasion to the opposer to reviling;

¹⁶ To deliver thee from the strange woman, From the stranger who hath made smooth her sayings,

¹⁵ My son! go not in the way with them, Withhold thy foot from their path,

¹¹ Beloved, I call upon `you', as strangers and sojourners, to keep from the fleshly desires, that war against the soul,
