¹² and she catcheth him by his garment, saying, `Lie with me;' and he leaveth his garment in her hand, and fleeth, and goeth without.

²⁶ And I am finding more bitter than death, the woman whose heart `is' nets and snares, her hands `are' bands; the good before God escapeth from her, but the sinner is captured by her.

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

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

¹³ And she laid hold on him, and kissed him, She hath hardened her face, and saith to him,

¹⁴ `Sacrifices of peace-offerings `are' by me, To-day I have completed my vows.

¹⁵ Therefore I have come forth to meet thee, To seek earnestly thy face, and I find thee.

¹⁶ `With' ornamental coverings I decked my couch, Carved works -- cotton of Egypt.

¹⁷ I sprinkled my bed -- myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.

¹⁸ Come, we are filled `with' loves till the morning, We delight ourselves in loves.

¹⁹ For the man is not in his house, He hath gone on a long journey.

²⁰ A bag of money he hath taken in his hand, At the day of the new moon he cometh to his house.'

²¹ She turneth him aside with the abundance of her speech, With the flattery of her lips she forceth him.

²² He is going after her straightway, As an ox unto the slaughter he cometh, And as a fetter unto the chastisement of a fool,

²³ Till an arrow doth split his liver, As a bird hath hastened unto a snare, And hath not known that it `is' for its life.

²⁴ And now, ye sons, hearken to me, And give attention to sayings of my mouth.

²⁵ Let not thy heart turn unto her ways, Do not wander in her paths,

²⁶ For many `are' the wounded she caused to fall, And mighty `are' all her slain ones.

²⁷ The ways of Sheol -- her house, Going down unto inner chambers of death!

⁵ Be delivered as a roe from the hand, And as a bird from the hand of a fowler.

⁸ Keep far from off her thy way, And come not near unto the opening of her house,

³³ Be not led astray; evil communications corrupt good manners;

³⁰ How weak `is' thy heart, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, In thy doing all these, The work of a domineering whorish woman.

³¹ In thy building thine arch at the head of every way, Thy high place thou hast made in every broad place, And -- hast not been as a whore deriding a gift.

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

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;

⁵¹ and a certain young man was following him, having put a linen cloth about `his' naked body, and the young men lay hold on him,

⁵² and he, having left the linen cloth, did flee from them naked.

²⁷ And Samuel turneth round to go, and he layeth hold on the skirt of his upper robe -- and it is rent!
