1
Be not jealous over the wife of thy bosom, and teach her not an evil lesson against thyself.
2
Give not thy soul unto a woman to set her foot upon thy substance.
3
Meet not with an harlot, lest thou fall into her snares.
4
Use not much the company of a woman that is a singer, lest thou be taken with her attempts.
5
Gaze not on a maid, that thou fall not by those things that are precious in her.
6
Give not thy soul unto harlots, that thou lose not thine inheritance.
7
Look not round about thee in the streets of the city, neither wander thou in the solitary place thereof.
8
Turn away thine eye from a beautiful woman, and look not upon another's beauty; for many have been deceived by the beauty of a woman; for herewith love is kindled as a fire.
9
Sit not at all with another man's wife, nor sit down with her in thine arms, and spend not thy money with her at the wine; lest thine heart incline unto her, and so through thy desire thou fall into destruction.
10
Forsake not an old friend; for the new is not comparable to him: a new friend is as new wine; when it is old, thou shalt drink it with pleasure.
11
Envy not the glory of a sinner: for thou knowest not what shall be his end.
