Advertencia contra el adulterio
5 Hijo mío, pon atención a mi sabiduría
y presta oído a mi buen juicio,
2 para que al hablar mantengas la discreción
y retengas el conocimiento.
3 De los labios de la adúltera fluye miel;
su lengua es más suave que el aceite.
4 Pero al final resulta más amarga que la hiel
y más cortante que una espada de dos filos.
5 Sus pies descienden hasta la muerte;
sus pasos van derecho al sepulcro.
6 No tiene ella en cuenta el camino de la vida;
sus sendas son torcidas, y ella no lo reconoce.[a]
7 Pues bien, hijo mío, préstame atención
y no te apartes de mis palabras.
8 Aléjate de la adúltera;
no te acerques a la puerta de su casa,
9 para que no entregues a otros tu vigor,
ni tus años a gente cruel;
10 para que no sacies con tu fuerza a gente extraña,
ni vayan a dar en casa ajena tus esfuerzos.
11 Porque al final acabarás llorando,
cuando todo tu ser[b] se haya consumido.
12 Y dirás: «¡Cómo pude aborrecer la corrección!
¡Cómo pudo mi corazón despreciar la disciplina!
13 No atendí a la voz de mis maestros,
ni presté oído a mis instructores.
14 Ahora estoy al borde de la ruina,
en medio de toda la comunidad».
15 Bebe el agua de tu propio pozo,
el agua que fluye de tu propio manantial.
16 ¿Habrán de derramarse tus fuentes por las calles
y tus corrientes de aguas por las plazas públicas?
17 Son tuyas, solamente tuyas,
y no para que las compartas con extraños.
18 ¡Bendita sea tu fuente!
¡Goza con la esposa de tu juventud!
19 Es una gacela amorosa,
es una cervatilla encantadora.
¡Que sus pechos te satisfagan siempre!
¡Que su amor te cautive todo el tiempo!
20 ¿Por qué, hijo mío, dejarte cautivar por una adúltera?
¿Por qué abrazarte al pecho de la mujer ajena?
21 Nuestros caminos están a la vista del Señor;
él examina todas nuestras sendas.
22 Al malvado lo atrapan sus malas obras;
las cuerdas de su pecado lo aprisionan.
23 Morirá por su falta de disciplina;
perecerá por su gran insensatez.

Avoid Seduction
5 My son, pay attention to my wisdom;
listen closely[a] to my understanding(A)
2 so that you may maintain discretion
and your lips safeguard knowledge.(B)
3 Though the lips of the forbidden woman drip honey
and her words are[b] smoother than oil,
4 in the end she’s as bitter as wormwood(C)
and as sharp as a double-edged sword.(D)
5 Her feet go down to death;
her steps head straight for Sheol.(E)
6 She doesn’t consider the path of life;
she doesn’t know that her ways are unstable.
7 So now, sons, listen to me,
and don’t turn away from the words from my mouth.(F)
8 Keep your way far from her.
Don’t go near the door of her house.(G)
9 Otherwise, you will give up your vitality to others
and your years to someone cruel;
10 strangers will drain your resources,
and your hard-earned pay will end up in a foreigner’s house.
11 At the end of your life, you will lament
when your physical body has been consumed,
12 and you will say, “How I hated discipline,
and how my heart despised correction.(H)
13 I didn’t obey my teachers
or listen closely[c] to my instructors.
14 I am on the verge of complete ruin
before the entire community.”
Enjoy Marriage
15 Drink water from your own cistern,
water flowing from your own well.(I)
16 Should your springs flow in the streets,
streams in the public squares?(J)
17 They should be for you alone
and not for you to share with strangers.
18 Let your fountain be blessed,
and take pleasure in the wife of your youth.(K)
19 A loving deer, a graceful doe[d]—
let her breasts always satisfy you;(L)
be lost in her love forever.
20 Why, my son, would you lose yourself
with a forbidden woman
or embrace a wayward woman?(M)
21 For a man’s ways are before the Lord’s eyes,(N)
and he considers all his paths.(O)
22 A wicked man’s iniquities will trap him;(P)
he will become tangled in the ropes of his own sin.(Q)
23 He will die because there is no discipline,(R)
and be lost because of his great stupidity.

Warning Against Adultery
5 My son,(A) pay attention to my wisdom,
turn your ear to my words(B) of insight,
2 that you may maintain discretion
and your lips may preserve knowledge.
3 For the lips of the adulterous woman drip honey,
and her speech is smoother than oil;(C)
4 but in the end she is bitter as gall,(D)
sharp as a double-edged sword.
5 Her feet go down to death;
her steps lead straight to the grave.(E)
6 She gives no thought to the way of life;
her paths wander aimlessly, but she does not know it.(F)
7 Now then, my sons, listen(G) to me;
do not turn aside from what I say.
8 Keep to a path far from her,(H)
do not go near the door of her house,
9 lest you lose your honor to others
and your dignity[a] to one who is cruel,
10 lest strangers feast on your wealth
and your toil enrich the house of another.(I)
11 At the end of your life you will groan,
when your flesh and body are spent.
12 You will say, “How I hated discipline!
How my heart spurned correction!(J)
13 I would not obey my teachers
or turn my ear to my instructors.
14 And I was soon in serious trouble(K)
in the assembly of God’s people.”(L)
15 Drink water from your own cistern,
running water from your own well.
16 Should your springs overflow in the streets,
your streams of water in the public squares?
17 Let them be yours alone,
never to be shared with strangers.
18 May your fountain(M) be blessed,
and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth.(N)
19 A loving doe, a graceful deer(O)—
may her breasts satisfy you always,
may you ever be intoxicated with her love.
20 Why, my son, be intoxicated with another man’s wife?
Why embrace the bosom of a wayward woman?
