20:006:024 To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the
           tongue of a strange woman.

20:006:025 Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take
           thee with her eyelids.

20:006:026 For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of
           bread:  and the adultress will hunt for the precious life.

20:006:027 Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be
           burned?

20:006:028 Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned?

20:006:029 So he that goeth in to his neighbour’s wife; whosoever
           toucheth her shall not be innocent.

20:006:030 Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul
           when he is hungry;

20:006:031 But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give
           all the substance of his house.

20:006:032 But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh
           understanding:  he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul.

20:006:033 A wound and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall not
           be wiped away.

20:006:034 For jealousy is the rage of a man:  therefore he will not spare
           in the day of vengeance.

20:006:035 He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content,
           though thou givest many gifts.

20:007:001 My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee.

20:007:002 Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of
           thine eye.

20:007:003 Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thine
           heart.

20:007:004 Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister; and call understanding
           thy kinswoman: 

20:007:005 That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the
           stranger which flattereth with her words.

20:007:006 For at the window of my house I looked through my casement,

20:007:007 And beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the
           youths, a young man void of understanding,

20:007:008 Passing through the street near her corner; and he went the
           way to her house,

20:007:009 In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night: 

20:007:010 And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an
           harlot, and subtil of heart.

20:007:011 (She is loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house: 

20:007:012 Now is she without, now in the streets, and lieth in wait at
           every corner.)

20:007:013 So she caught him, and kissed him, and with an impudent face
           said unto him,

20:007:014 I have peace offerings with me; this day have I payed my vows.

20:007:015 Therefore came I forth to meet thee, diligently to seek thy
           face, and I have found thee.
