Avoid Immoral Women
5 My son, pay attention to my wisdom;
listen carefully to my wise counsel.
2 Then you will show discernment,
and your lips will express what you’ve learned.
3 For the lips of an immoral woman are as sweet as honey,
and her mouth is smoother than oil.
4 But in the end she is as bitter as poison,
as dangerous as a double-edged sword.
5 Her feet go down to death;
her steps lead straight to the grave.[a]
6 For she cares nothing about the path to life.
She staggers down a crooked trail and doesn’t realize it.
7 So now, my sons, listen to me.
Never stray from what I am about to say:
8 Stay away from her!
Don’t go near the door of her house!
9 If you do, you will lose your honor
and will lose to merciless people all you have achieved.
10 Strangers will consume your wealth,
and someone else will enjoy the fruit of your labor.
11 In the end you will groan in anguish
when disease consumes your body.
12 You will say, “How I hated discipline!
If only I had not ignored all the warnings!
13 Oh, why didn’t I listen to my teachers?
Why didn’t I pay attention to my instructors?
14 I have come to the brink of utter ruin,
and now I must face public disgrace.”
15 Drink water from your own well—
share your love only with your wife.[b]
16 Why spill the water of your springs in the streets,
having sex with just anyone?[c]
17 You should reserve it for yourselves.
Never share it with strangers.
18 Let your wife be a fountain of blessing for you.
Rejoice in the wife of your youth.
19 She is a loving deer, a graceful doe.
Let her breasts satisfy you always.
May you always be captivated by her love.
20 Why be captivated, my son, by an immoral woman,
or fondle the breasts of a promiscuous woman?
21 For the Lord sees clearly what a man does,
examining every path he takes.
22 An evil man is held captive by his own sins;
they are ropes that catch and hold him.
23 He will die for lack of self-control;
he will be lost because of his great foolishness.

Ang Pulong Sa Dios
Pahimangno Kabahin sa Pagpanapaw
5 Anak, paminawa kining mga maalamong pulong nga akong isulti, 2 aron makahibalo ka magdesisyon sa ensakto ug manulti nga may kaalam. 3 Ang pulong sa babayeng daotan sama katam-is sa dugos, ug lami tagamtamon sama sa lana sa olibo. 4 Apan sa kaulahian ang kapait ug kasakit ray imong dangatan. 5 Kon mosunod ka kaniya, dad-on ka niya sa dapit sa mga patay; ang dalan nga iyang gilakwan padulong sa kamatayon. 6 Wala siya magtagad sa dalan sa kinabuhi. Dili tul-id ang dalan nga iyang ginasubay ug wala gani siya makaamgo niini.
7 Busa mga anak, pamatia ninyo ako ug tumana. 8 Palayo kamo sa babayeng sama niana. Ayaw kamo pagduol sa iyang balay. 9 Kay kon himuon ninyo kana, mawad-an kamog dungog ug maangkon kini sa uban, ug mamatay kamo sa kamot sa mga tawong bangis. 10 Ang tanan ninyong bahandi ug uban pang hinagoan kuhaon lang ug pahimuslan sa ubang mga tawo. 11 Mag-agulo kamo kon magtinga na kamo, nga labihan na kaayo kaniwang. 12 Unya moingon kamo, “Anugon wala ko gihatagan ug pagtagad ang mga pagbadlong sa akong pamatasan. 13 Wala ako mamati sa akong mga magtutudlo. 14 Busa karon, nagaungaw na ako sa baba sa kamatayon atubangan sa katilingban.”
15 Sa imong asawa ka lang angay makighilawas. Kon tubig pa kini, sa imong kaugalingong atabay ka lang magkuhag imong imnon. 16 Kay basig magluib usab ang imong asawa.[a] 17 Kinahanglan nga imo lang siya; dili siya makighilawas sa ubang lalaki. 18 Magpakalipay ka diha sa imong asawa, ug hinaut nga panalanginan siya sa Dios. 19 Matahom siya ug maanindot sama sa lagsaw, busa hinaut nga mawili ka kaniya[b] ug mabihag kanunay sa iyang gugma.
20 Anak, ayaw pagpadani sa babayeng daotan o pagpakigrelasyon kaniya. 21 Kay nakita sa Ginoo ang tanan mong binuhatan; nagatan-aw siya bisan asa ka paingon. 22 Ang binuhatan sa tawong daotan sama sa lit-ag nga mounay kaniya. 23 Mahisalaag siya tungod sa iyang kabuang, ug mamatay siya tungod kay dili siya magpatul-id sa iyang pamatasan.

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?
