And I find more bitter than death The woman whose heart is snares and nets, Whose hands are fetters. He who pleases God shall escape from her, But the sinner shall be trapped by her.

For a harlot is a deep pit, And a seductress is a narrow well.

That they may keep you from the immoral woman, From the seductress who flatters with her words.For at the window of my house I looked through my lattice,And saw among the simple, I perceived among the youths, A young man devoid of understanding,Passing along the street near her corner; And he took the path to her houseIn the twilight, in the evening, In the black and dark night.And there a woman met him, With the attire of a harlot, and a crafty heart.She was loud and rebellious, Her feet would not stay at home.At times she was outside, at times in the open square, Lurking at every corner.So she caught him and kissed him; With an impudent face she said to him:“ I have peace offerings with me; Today I have paid my vows.So I came out to meet you, Diligently to seek your face, And I have found you.I have spread my bed with tapestry, Colored coverings of Egyptian linen.I have perfumed my bed With myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.Come, let us take our fill of love until morning; Let us delight ourselves with love.For my husband is not at home; He has gone on a long journey;He has taken a bag of money with him, And will come home on the appointed day.”With her enticing speech she caused him to yield, With her flattering lips she seduced him.Immediately he went after her, as an ox goes to the slaughter, Or as a fool to the correction of the stocks,Till an arrow struck his liver. As a bird hastens to the snare, He did not know it would cost his life.

And his master saw that the Lord was with him and that the Lord made all he did to prosper in his hand.So Joseph found favor in his sight, and served him. Then he made him overseer of his house, and all that he had he put under his authority.So it was, from the time that he had made him overseer of his house and all that he had, that the Lord blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake; and the blessing of the Lord was on all that he had in the house and in the field.Thus he left all that he had in Joseph’s hand, and he did not know what he had except for the bread which he ate. Now Joseph was handsome in form and appearance.And it came to pass after these things that his master’s wife cast longing eyes on Joseph, and she said,“ Lie with me.”But he refused and said to his master’s wife,“ Look, my master does not know what is with me in the house, and he has committed all that he has to my hand.There is no one greater in this house than I, nor has he kept back anything from me but you, because you are his wife. How then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?”So it was, as she spoke to Joseph day by day, that he did not heed her, to lie with her or to be with her.But it happened about this time, when Joseph went into the house to do his work, and none of the men of the house was inside,that she caught him by his garment, saying,“ Lie with me.” But he left his garment in her hand, and fled and ran outside.

The mouth of an immoral woman is a deep pit; He who is abhorred by the Lord will fall there.

For the lips of an immoral woman drip 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 lay hold of hell.Lest you ponder her path of life— Her ways are unstable; You do not know them.Therefore hear me now, my children, And do not depart from the words of my mouth.Remove your way far from her, And do not go near the door of her house,Lest you give your honor to others, And your years to the cruel one;Lest aliens be filled with your wealth, And your labors go to the house of a foreigner;And you mourn at last, When your flesh and your body are consumed,And say:“ How I have hated instruction, And my heart despised correction!I have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, Nor inclined my ear to those who instructed me!I was on the verge of total ruin, In the midst of the assembly and congregation.”Drink water from your own cistern, And running water from your own well.Should your fountains be dispersed abroad, Streams of water in the streets?Let them be only your own, And not for strangers with you.Let your fountain be blessed, And rejoice with the wife of your youth.As a loving deer and a graceful doe, Let her breasts satisfy you at all times; And always be enraptured with her love.For why should you, my son, be enraptured by an immoral woman, And be embraced in the arms of a seductress?

A man who flatters his neighbor Spreads a net for his feet.

Did not Solomon king of Israel sin by these things? Yet among many nations there was no king like him, who was beloved of his God; and God made him king over all Israel. Nevertheless pagan women caused even him to sin.Should we then hear of your doing all this great evil, transgressing against our God by marrying pagan women?”
