17. haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood;
18. a heart that deviseth wicked imaginations; feet that are swift in running to mischief;
19. a false witness that uttereth lies, and he that soweth discords among brethren.
20. My son, observe thy father's commandment, and forsake not the teaching of thy mother;
21. bind them continually upon thy heart, tie them about thy neck:
22. when thou walkest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.
23. For the commandment is a lamp, and the teaching a light, and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:
24. to keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.
25. Lust not after her beauty in thy heart, neither let her take thee with her eyelids;
26. for by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a loaf of bread, and another's wife doth hunt for the precious soul.
27. Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his garments not be burned?
