1
Do not be jealous of the wife of your bosom, and do not teach her an evil lesson to your own hurt.
2
Do not give yourself to a woman so that she gains mastery over your strength.
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.
