Antídoto contra la inmoralidad sexual
7 Hijo mío, obedece mis palabras
y no te olvides de los mandamientos que te doy.
2 Obedece mis mandamientos y tendrás vida;
haz de mis enseñanzas lo más importante de tu vida.
3 Átalos a tus dedos
y grábalos en tu corazón.
4 Trata a la sabiduría como a una hermana,
y a la inteligencia como parte de tu familia.
5 Ellas te protegerán de la mujer de otro
y de la ajena que seduce con sus palabras.
6 Un día miré por mi ventana,
a través de las rejas,
7 y vi a unos jóvenes ignorantes,
y me fijé en uno que era especialmente torpe.
8 Cruzó la calle, cerca de la esquina,
y se dirigió a la casa de una mala mujer.
9 Ya caía la tarde,
era casi de noche,
10 y de pronto la mujer salió a su encuentro,
con toda la apariencia de una prostituta,
abrigando sus intenciones.
11 Desvergonzada y rebelde;
no puede quedarse en casa.
12 Anda siempre por las calles o en las plazas,
acechando en las esquinas.
13 Abrazó al joven y lo besó;
descaradamente lo miró a los ojos y le dijo:
14 «Hoy ofrecí una ofrenda para festejar[a],
cumplí mi promesa.
15 Ahora tengo mucha comida, así que salí a invitarte;
estaba buscándote y te he encontrado.
16 He tendido en mi cama
cobertores muy hermosos, de lino egipcio;
17 la perfumé con aromas
de mirra, áloe y canela.
18 Ven, bebamos hasta la última gota de la copa del amor;
hagamos el amor hasta el amanecer.
19 Mi esposo no está en casa,
salió a un largo viaje;
20 se llevó la bolsa del dinero y no volverá
hasta dentro de dos semanas».[b]
21 Decía esas palabras para tentar al joven,
y sus suaves palabras lo atraparon.
22 Enseguida el joven fue tras ella,
como un buey al matadero,
como un venado que cae en la trampa
23 de un cazador, listo a lanzarle una flecha en el corazón;
como un ave volando hacia la red
sin saber que eso le costará la vida.
24 Ahora hijo, escúchame;
presta atención a lo que te digo:
25 No desvíes tu corazón hacia esa mujer,
no te extravíes por sus caminos,
26 porque a muchos ha hecho caer heridos de muerte;
sus víctimas han sido numerosas.
27 Su casa lleva al sepulcro,
conduce directo a la muerte.

The Wiles of a Harlot
7 My son, keep my words,
And (A)treasure my commands within you.
2 (B)Keep my commands and live,
(C)And my law as the apple of your eye.
3 (D)Bind them on your fingers;
Write them on the tablet of your heart.
4 Say to wisdom, “You are my sister,”
And call understanding your nearest kin,
5 (E)That they may keep you from the immoral woman,
From the seductress who flatters with her words.
The Crafty Harlot
6 For at the window of my house
I looked through my lattice,
7 And saw among the simple,
I perceived among the [a]youths,
A young man (F)devoid[b] of understanding,
8 Passing along the street near her corner;
And he took the path to her house
9 (G)In the twilight, in the evening,
In the black and dark night.
10 And there a woman met him,
With the attire of a harlot, and a crafty heart.
11 (H)She was loud and rebellious,
(I)Her feet would not stay at home.
12 At times she was outside, at times in the open square,
Lurking at every corner.
13 So she caught him and kissed him;
With an [c]impudent face she said to him:
14 “I have peace offerings with me;
Today I have paid my vows.
15 So I came out to meet you,
Diligently to seek your face,
And I have found you.
16 I have spread my bed with tapestry,
Colored coverings of (J)Egyptian linen.
17 I have perfumed my bed
With myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
18 Come, let us take our fill of love until morning;
Let us delight ourselves with love.
19 For [d]my husband is not at home;
He has gone on a long journey;
20 He has taken a bag of money [e]with him,
And will come home [f]on the appointed day.”
21 [g]With (K)her enticing speech she caused him to yield,
(L)With her flattering lips she [h]seduced him.
22 Immediately he went after her, as an ox goes to the slaughter,
Or [i]as a fool to the correction of the [j]stocks,
23 Till an arrow struck his liver.
(M)As a bird hastens to the snare,
He did not know it [k]would cost his life.
24 Now therefore, listen to me, my children;
Pay attention to the words of my mouth:
25 Do not let your heart turn aside to her ways,
Do not stray into her paths;
26 For she has cast down many wounded,
And (N)all who were slain by her were strong men.
27 (O)Her house is the way to [l]hell,
Descending to the chambers of death.

Warning Against the Adulterous Woman
7 My son,(A) keep my words
and store up my commands within you.
2 Keep my commands and you will live;(B)
guard my teachings as the apple of your eye.
3 Bind them on your fingers;
write them on the tablet of your heart.(C)
4 Say to wisdom, “You are my sister,”
and to insight, “You are my relative.”
5 They will keep you from the adulterous woman,
from the wayward woman with her seductive words.(D)
6 At the window of my house
I looked down through the lattice.
7 I saw among the simple,
I noticed among the young men,
a youth who had no sense.(E)
8 He was going down the street near her corner,
walking along in the direction of her house
9 at twilight,(F) as the day was fading,
as the dark of night set in.
10 Then out came a woman to meet him,
dressed like a prostitute and with crafty intent.
11 (She is unruly(G) and defiant,
her feet never stay at home;
12 now in the street, now in the squares,
at every corner she lurks.)(H)
13 She took hold of him(I) and kissed him
and with a brazen face she said:(J)
14 “Today I fulfilled my vows,
and I have food from my fellowship offering(K) at home.
15 So I came out to meet you;
I looked for you and have found you!
16 I have covered my bed
with colored linens from Egypt.
17 I have perfumed my bed(L)
with myrrh,(M) aloes and cinnamon.
18 Come, let’s drink deeply of love till morning;
let’s enjoy ourselves with love!(N)
19 My husband is not at home;
he has gone on a long journey.
20 He took his purse filled with money
and will not be home till full moon.”
21 With persuasive words she led him astray;
she seduced him with her smooth talk.(O)
22 All at once he followed her
like an ox going to the slaughter,
like a deer[a] stepping into a noose[b](P)
23 till an arrow pierces(Q) his liver,
like a bird darting into a snare,
little knowing it will cost him his life.(R)
