Every bed, whereon he lieth that hath the issue, is unclean: and every thing, whereon he sitteth, shall be unclean.

And he that sitteth on any thing whereon he sat that hath the issue shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.

And if he that hath the issue spit upon him that is clean; then he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.

To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words;

For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead.

For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil:

Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.

Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth.

Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel:

And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed,

And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me!

To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.

He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts.

And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart.

Now is she without, now in the streets, and lieth in wait at every corner.)

I have peace offerings with me; this day have I payed my vows.

I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with carved works, with fine linen of Egypt.

Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning: let us solace ourselves with loves.

He hath taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at the day appointed.

He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks;

Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend to the words of my mouth.

For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her.

A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, and knoweth nothing.

To call passengers who go right on their ways:

Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.

If thou hast nothing to pay, why should he take away thy bed from under thee?

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

Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.
