son keep my words and my commandments hide for yourself
son esteem the lord and strengthen besides him not fear another keep my commandments and live my words as pupil eyes
put on your fingers inscribe upon the width heart
speak the wisdom your sister be the intelligence acquaintance procure
that keep from woman strange and wicked if words the toward favor put
from for window out the house into the squares leans
whom ever behold of foolish offspring young man lacking sense
passing in corner in corridors houses speaking
in darkness evening when ever stillness nightly or also dimness
woman meets him appearance having harlot which makes
inciting and is and carnal in house not stay still feet
time for certain outside strays time in squares by every corner lies in wait
then taking hold fondles him impudent face says him
sacrifice peace me is today render the vows
because this come forth for meeting you feeling absence the your face found
trimming stretched the bed spreads spread the from Egypt
sprinkled the bed saffron the and house cinnamon
come for enjoy friendship until dawn come for wrap up passion
not for at hand the man in house gone way long
bundle silver taking in hands for days many return to the house
led astray and him much companionship nooses and the from lips led aground
the and followed her easily led as and ox unto slaughter led and as dog to bonds and as stag shot with bow
striking into the liver hastens and as fowl into snare not seeing that for life runs
now then son hear me and take heed sayings mouth
not turn aside to the ways with heart and not misled by short-cuts
many for piercing thrown down and innumerable are whom murdered
ways Hades the house lead down into the storerooms the death
