The mouth of a woman who commits adultery is like a deep pit. Any man the Lord is angry with falls into it.

淫妇的口为深坑；耶和华所憎恶的，必陷在其中。

陌生女子的口是深坑，耶和华所憎恶的，必陷在其中。

The mouth of an adulteress is a deep pit. He who is under Yahweh’s wrath will fall into it.

A woman who hunts a man down is more painful than death. Her heart is like a trap. Her hands are like chains. A man who pleases God will try to get away from her. But she will trap a sinner.

An unfaithful wife is like a deep pit. A wife who commits adultery is like a narrow well.

It keeps you from your neighbor’s wife. It keeps you from the smooth talk of a woman who commits adultery.Don’t hunger in your heart after her beauty. Don’t let her eyes capture you.A prostitute can be bought for only a loaf of bread. But another man’s wife hunts your very life.You can’t shovel fire into your lap without burning your clothes.You can’t walk on hot coals without burning your feet.It’s the same for anyone who has sex with another man’s wife. Anyone who touches her will be punished.

Wisdom will save you from a woman who commits adultery. It will save you from a sinful woman and her tempting words.She has left the man she married when she was young. She has broken the promise she made in front of God.Surely her house leads down to death. Her paths lead to the spirits of the dead.No one who goes to her comes back or reaches the paths of life.

So I let them go their own stubborn way. I let them follow their own sinful plans.

She called out,“ Samson! The Philistines are attacking you!” He woke up from his sleep. He thought,“ I’ll go out just as I did before. I’ll shake myself free.” But he didn’t know that the Lord had left him.Then the Philistines grabbed him. They poked his eyes out. They took him down to Gaza. They put bronze chains around him. Then they made him grind grain in the prison.

That’s how Solomon, the king of Israel, sinned. He married women from other nations. There wasn’t a king like him anywhere. His God loved him. In fact, God made him king over the whole nation of Israel. But even he was led into sin by women from other lands.

They will keep you from a woman who commits adultery. They will keep you from the smooth talk of a sinful wife.I stood at the window of my house. I looked down through it.Among those who were childish I saw a young man who had no sense.He went down the street near that sinful woman’s corner. He walked toward her house.The sun had gone down, and the day was fading. The darkness of night was falling.A woman came out to meet him. She was dressed like a prostitute and had a clever plan.She was wild and pushy. She never stayed at home.Sometimes she’s in the streets. Sometimes she’s at other places. At every corner she waits.She took hold of the young man and kissed him. With a bold face she spoke to him. She said,“ Today I offered what I promised I would. At home I have meat left over from my fellowship offering.So I came out to meet you. I looked for you and have found you!I have covered my bed with colored sheets from Egypt.I’ve perfumed my bed with spices. I used myrrh, aloes and cinnamon.Come, let’s drink our fill of love until morning. Let’s enjoy ourselves by sleeping together!My husband isn’t home. He’s gone on a long journey.He took his bag full of money. He won’t be home for several days.”She led him astray with her clever words. She charmed him with her smooth talk.All at once he followed her. He was like an ox going to be killed. He was like a deer stepping into a trapuntil an arrow struck its liver. He was like a bird rushing into a trap. Little did he know it would cost him his life!My sons, listen to me. Pay attention to what I say.Don’t let your hearts turn to her ways. Don’t step onto her paths.She has brought down a lot of men. She has killed a huge crowd.Her house is a road to the grave. It leads down to the place of the dead.

When the Lord saw this, he turned away from them. His sons and daughters made him angry.

A woman who commits adultery has lips that drip honey. What she says is smoother than olive oil.But in the end she is like bitter poison. She cuts like a sword that has two edges.Her feet go down to death. Her steps lead straight to the grave.She doesn’t give any thought to her way of life. Her paths have no direction, but she doesn’t realize it.My sons, listen to me. Don’t turn away from what I say.Stay on a path far away from that evil woman. Don’t even go near the door of her house.If you do, you will lose your honor to other people. You will give your self- respect to someone who is mean.Strangers will use up all your wealth. Your hard work will make someone else rich.At the end of your life you will groan. Your skin and your body will be worn out.You will say,“ How I hated to take advice! How my heart refused to be corrected!I would not obey my teachers. I wouldn’t listen to those who taught me.I was soon in deep trouble. It happened right in front of the whole assembly of God’s people.”Drink water from your own well. Drink running water from your own spring.Should your springs pour out into the streets? Should your streams of water pour out in public places?No! Let them belong to you alone. Never share them with strangers.May your fountain be blessed. May the wife you married when you were young make you happy.She is like a loving doe, a graceful deer. May her breasts always satisfy you. May you always be captured by her love.My son, why be captured by another man’s wife? Why hug a woman who has gone astray?The Lord watches your ways. He studies all your paths.Sinners are trapped by their own evil acts. They are held tight by the ropes of their sins.They will die because they refused to be corrected. Their sins will capture them because they were very foolish.
