In the midst of the assembly and congregation.”

Nor inclined my ear to my instructors!

And you groan at your final end,
When your flesh and your body are consumed;

And your years to the cruel one;
And strangers will be filled with your strength
And your hard-earned goods will go to the house of an alien;

Keep your way far from her
And do not go near the door of her house,

Now then, my sons, listen to me
And do not depart from the words of my mouth.

Now then, my sons, listen to me
And do not depart from the words of my mouth.

Her feet go down to death,
Her steps take hold of Sheol.

But in the end she is bitter as wormwood,
Sharp as a two-edged sword.
