9
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.
12 Delight not in the thing that the ungodly have pleasure in; but remember they shall not go unpunished
unto their grave.
13 Keep thee far from the man that hath power to kill; so shalt thou not doubt the fear of death: and if
thou come unto him, make no fault, lest he take away thy life presently: remember that thou goest in
the midst of snares, and that thou walkest upon the battlements of the city.
