| 1我兒，你應注意我的智慧，側耳傾聽我的見解， | 1My son, pay heed to my wisdom and listen to my insights; |
| 2為使你保持審慎的態度，使你的口唇能固守知識。 | 2remember my counsel and let your lips not depart from this knowledge. |
| 3因為淫婦的口，滴流甜蜜；她的嘴唇，比油還滑； | 3Know that the lips of the adulteress are sweet as honey and her words smoother than oil, |
| 4但是，與她相處的結果，卻苦若苦艾，刺心有如雙刃的利劍。 | 4but the outcome is bitter as herbs. It is as sharp as a double-edged sword. |
| 5她的雙腳陷入死境，她的腳步直趨陰府。 | 5Her feet go down to the grave and her steps lead to death. |
| 6她不走生命的坦途；她的腳步，躊躇不定，不知所往。 | 6She pays no attention to the path of life and strays without knowing it. |
| 7現在，我兒，你要聽從我，不要拋棄我口中的教訓︰ | 7Now then, my son, listen to me and do not forget my words: |
| 8你應使你的道路遠離她，不要走近她的家門， | 8Stay away from her and never approach the door of her house, |
| 9免得將你的精力，葬送給別人；將你的歲月，委棄給無賴； | 9lest you surrender your honor to strangers and your best years to cruel men, |
| 10免得你的財產為他人享受，你的辛勞裨益於人家； | 10lest others benefit from your goods, and your earnings go to an alien house. |
| 11免得終期來臨，當你的肉軀和身體精力耗盡時，你只有嘆息， | 11You will complain in the end, when your body and flesh are already devoured and |
| 12說：「唉！為什麼我憎惡了教訓，為什麼我的心藐視了規勸？ | 12you will say, "Why did I reject instruction and turn my back on sound advice? |
| 13為什麼我沒有聽從師長的勸告，沒有側耳傾聽教訓我的人？ | 13Why did I not listen to the voice of my teachers and follow their counsel? |
| 14在集會和會眾中，我幾乎陷於浩劫。」 | 14For I have come to the depths of disgrace in the midst of the whole community." |
| 15你當飲你自己池裏的水，喝你井裏的活泉。 | 15Drink, then, from the water of your own cistern, from that which flows in your own well. |
| 16你的泉水豈可外溢，成為街頭的流水？ | 16Do not let your fountains be wasted elsewhere nor in the public streets. |
| 17其實都應全歸於你，不得讓外人與你共享。 | 17They are for you alone and not for strangers. |
| 18你的泉源理應受祝福；你應由你少年時的妻子取樂。 | 18May your fountainhead be blessed and may you find joy in the wife of your youth, |
| 19她宛如可愛的母鹿，嫵媚的母羚；她的酥胸應常使你暢懷，她的愛情應不斷使你陶醉。 | 19your beautiful hind and graceful gazelle! May her breasts be your delight at all times: be always in love with her. |
| 20我兒，你為什麼要迷戀外婦，擁抱別人妻室的胸懷？ | 20My son, why be infatuated with an adulteress and embrace a strange woman? |
| 21上主的眼目時常監視人的道路，不斷審察他的一切行徑。 | 21For Yahweh watches the ways of men and he observes all their paths. |
| 22惡人必被自己的邪惡所纏擾，必為自己罪惡的羅網所捕獲。 | 22The wicked will be caught in his own evil and remain entangled in the nets of his own sin. |
| 23他必因不聽教訓而喪命，必因自己過度的愚昧而淪亡。 | 23He will die for want of discipline and will drown in the rising tide of his own evil. |
