25. Avicha and immecha shall be glad, and she that bore thee shall rejoice.
26. Beni (my son), give me thine lev, and let thine eynayim delight in my drakhim.
27. For a zonah is a deep pit, and a nokhriyah (strange woman, foreign woman, seductress, unfaithful wife) is a narrow well.
28. She also lieth in wait like a road bandit, and increaseth the bogedim (unfaithful) among adam (mankind).
29. Who hath oy (woe)? Who hath sorrow? Who hath strifes? Who hath complaint? Who hath needless wounds? Who hath bloodshot eynayim?
30. They that tarry long at the yayin, they that turn in to sample mixed wine.
31. Stare not thou into the yayin when it is red, when it sparkles in the kos (cup), when it goeth down smoothly.
32. At the acharit (latter end, future) it biteth like a nachash, and stingeth with venomous poisons like a viper.
33. Thine eynayim shall behold zarot (strange women), and thine lev shall utter perverse things.
34. Indeed, thou shalt be as he that lieth down in the lev yam (heart of the sea), or as he that lieth upon the top of a mast.
35. They have stricken me, shalt thou say, and I was not hurt; they have beaten me, and I felt it not. Mosai (when) shall I awake? I will seek yet another drink.
