²⁰ And why dost thou magnify thyself, My son, with a stranger? And embrace the bosom of a strange woman?

²⁴ To preserve thee from an evil woman, From the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.

⁵ To preserve thee from a strange woman, From a stranger who hath made smooth her sayings.

¹ And king Solomon hath loved many strange women, and the daughter of Pharaoh, females of Moab, Ammon, Edom, Zidon, `and' of the Hittites,

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

¹⁷ Who is forsaking the guide of her youth, And the covenant of her God hath forgotten.

¹⁸ For her house hath inclined unto death, And unto Rephaim her paths.

¹⁹ None going in unto her turn back, Nor do they reach the paths of life.

¹⁴ A deep pit `is' the mouth of strange women, The abhorred of Jehovah falleth there.

²⁷ For a harlot `is' a deep ditch, And a strange woman `is' a strait pit.

²⁸ She also, as catching prey, lieth in wait, And the treacherous among men she increaseth.

³³ Thine eyes see strange women, And thy heart speaketh perverse things.
