1My son, listen carefully to some more wise things that I will tell you.
2If you do that, you will be able to choose wisely what to do,
3What an immoral woman says to you may be as sweet as honey,
4but the result of being with her will be bitter like gall
5If you go where she goes [MTY], you will go down to where the dead people are.
6She is not concerned about the roads that lead to a long life.
7So now, my sons, listen to me.
8Run away from immoral women!
9If you enter the home of one of them, you will lose your ◄self-respect/good reputation►
10Foreigners will take your money,
11And when you are about to die,
12Then you will say, “I hated it when people tried to correct me.
13I did not heed what my teachers said!
14Now I am almost ruined,
15Like a man is refreshed by drinking water from his own well [MET],
16Like you would not waste good water by pouring it into the street,
17Enjoy having sex only with your wife;
18Let your wife be a source of great pleasure to you.
19She is as pretty and graceful as a young female deer.
20My son, do not be [RHQ] captivated/charmed by an immoral woman!
21I say that because Yahweh sees clearly everything that we do;
22Evil men’s sinful desires hold them fast;
23Evil men will die because they are unable to say “No” to their desires;
