3
Do not go to meet a loose woman, lest you fall into her snares.
4
Do not associate with a woman singer, lest you be caught in her intrigues.
5
Do not look intently at a virgin, lest you stumble and incur penalties for her.
6
Do not give yourself to harlots lest you lose your inheritance.
7
Do not look around in the streets of a city, nor wander about in its deserted sections.
8
Turn away your eyes from a shapely woman, and do not look intently at beauty belonging to another; many have been misled by a woman's beauty, and by it passion is kindled like a fire.
9
Never dine with another man's wife, nor revel with her at wine; lest your heart turn aside to her, and in blood you be plunged into destruction.
10
Forsake not an old friend, for a new one does not compare with him. A new friend is like new wine; when it has aged you will drink it with pleasure.
11
Do not envy the honors of a sinner, for you do not know what his end will be.
12
Do not delight in what pleases the ungodly; remember that they will not be held guiltless as long as they live.
13
Keep far from a man who has the power to kill, and you will not be worried by the fear of death. But if you approach him, make no misstep, lest he rob you of your life. Know that you are walking in the midst of snares, and that you are going about on the city battlements.
