If my heart hath been enticed unto a woman, And I have laid wait at my neighbor’s door;

“我若受迷惑，向妇人起淫念，在邻舍的门外蹲伏，

“我心若因妇人受迷惑，在邻舍的门外等候，

“我心若因妇人受迷惑，在邻舍的门外等候，

我的心若迷恋女人，在邻居的门口窥探，

我的心若被女人迷惑，在别人的门口埋伏，

我若受迷惑，向婦人起淫念，在鄰舍的門外蹲伏，

「我心若因婦人受迷惑，在鄰舍的門外等候，

「我心若因婦人受迷惑，在鄰舍的門外等候，

我的心若迷戀女人，在鄰居的門口窺探，

我的心若被女人迷惑，在別人的門口埋伏，

『我的心若因人的妻子而受迷惑，而在鄰舍門外蹲伏着，

如我心為婦女所惑、窺伺鄰舍之門、

如我為婦女所惑、或瞷人不在而誘其妻、

“ If my heart has been enticed by a woman, or if I have lurked at my neighbor’s door,

“ Suppose my heart has been tempted by a woman. Or suppose I’ve prowled around my neighbor’s home.

“ If my heart has been enticed toward a woman, and I have lain in wait at my neighbor’s door,

“ If my heart has been seduced by a woman, or if I have lusted for my neighbor’s wife,

If my heart has gone astray over a woman or I have lurked at my neighbor’s door,

“ If my heart has been enticed by a woman, Or I have lurked at my neighbor’s doorway,

“ If my heart has been enticed by a woman, Or if I have lurked at my neighbor’s door,

If my heart has been seduced by my neighbor’s wife or I have lurked at his door,

If mine heart have been deceived by a woman, or[ if] I have laid wait at my neighbour’s door;

If my heart has been enticed by a woman, and I have lain in wait at my neighbor’s door,

“ If my heart has been enticed to a woman, and I have laid wait at my neighbor’s door,

And the lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and said unto her, Entice him, and see wherein his great strength lieth, and by what means we may prevail against him, that we may bind him to afflict him: and we will give thee every one of us eleven hundred pieces of silver.

And I find more bitter than death the woman whose heart is snares and nets, and whose hands are bands: whoso pleaseth God shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be taken by her.

For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods; and his heart was not perfect with Jehovah his God, as was the heart of David his father.

Did not Solomon king of Israel sin by these things? yet among many nations was there no king like him, and he was beloved of his God, and God made him king over all Israel: nevertheless even him did foreign women cause to sin.

they were as fed horses roaming at large; every one neighed after his neighbor’s wife.

The mouth of strange women is a deep pit; He that is abhorred of Jehovah shall fall therein.

They are all adulterers; they are as an oven heated by the baker; he ceaseth to stir the fire, from the kneading of the dough, until it be leavened.

The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, Saying, No eye shall see me: And he disguiseth his face.In the dark they dig through houses: They shut themselves up in the day- time; They know not the light.

To deliver thee from the strange woman, Even from the foreigner that flattereth with her words;That forsaketh the friend of her youth, And forgetteth the covenant of her God:For her house inclineth unto death, And her paths unto the dead;None that go unto her return again, Neither do they attain unto the paths of life:

Lust not after her beauty in thy heart; Neither let her take thee with her eyelids.

With her much fair speech she causeth him to yield; With the flattering of her lips she forceth him along.

For the lips of a strange woman drop honey, And her mouth is smoother than oil:But in the end she is bitter as wormwood, Sharp as a two- edged sword.Her feet go down to death; Her steps take hold on Sheol;So that she findeth not the level path of life: Her ways are unstable, and she knoweth it not.Now therefore, my sons, hearken unto me, And depart not from the words of my mouth.Remove thy way far from her, And come not nigh the door of her house;Lest thou give thine honor unto others, And thy years unto the cruel;Lest strangers be filled with thy strength, And thy labors be in the house of an alien,And thou mourn at thy latter end, When thy flesh and thy body are consumed,And say, How have I hated instruction, And my heart despised reproof;Neither have I obeyed the voice of my teachers, Nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me!I was well- nigh in all evil In the midst of the assembly and congregation.Drink waters out of thine own cistern, And running waters out of thine own well.Should thy springs be dispersed abroad, And streams of water in the streets?Let them be for thyself alone, And not for strangers with thee.Let thy fountain be blessed; And rejoice in the wife of thy youth.As a loving hind and a pleasant doe, Let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; And be thou ravished always with her love.For why shouldest thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, And embrace the bosom of a foreigner?For the ways of man are before the eyes of Jehovah; And he maketh level all his paths.His own iniquities shall take the wicked, And he shall be holden with the cords of his sin.He shall die for lack of instruction; And in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.
