To rescue you from the strange woman, From the foreign woman who flatters with her words,

He taught me and said to me, "Let your heart take hold of my words; Keep my commandments and live;

Acquire wisdom! Acquire understanding! Do not forget nor turn away from the words of my mouth.

My son, pay attention to my words; Incline your ear to my sayings.

If you have been ensnared by the words of your mouth, Or caught by the words of your mouth,

My son, keep my words And treasure my commandments within you.

Now therefore, my sons, listen to me, And pay attention to the words of my mouth.

"All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; There is nothing crooked or perverted in them.
