Why should you be intoxicated, my son, with a forbidden woman and embrace the bosom of an adulteress?
to keep you from the forbidden woman, from the adulteress with her smooth words.
to preserve you from the evil woman, from the smooth tongue of the adulteress.
Your eyes will see strange things, and your heart utter perverse things.
For a prostitute is a deep pit; an adulteress is a narrow well. She lies in wait like a robber and increases the traitors among mankind.
The mouth of forbidden women is a deep pit; he with whom the Lord is angry will fall into it.
Now King Solomon loved many foreign women, along with the daughter of Pharaoh: Moabite, Ammonite, Edomite, Sidonian, and Hittite women,
So you will be delivered from the forbidden woman, from the adulteress with her smooth words, who forsakes the companion of her youth and forgets the covenant of her God; for her house sinks down to death, and her paths to the departed; none who go to her come back, nor do they regain the paths of life.
