24 Para que te guarden de la mala mujer, de la blandura de la lengua de la extraña.
25 No codicies su hermosura en tu corazón, ni ella te prenda con sus ojos:
26 Porque á causa de la mujer ramera [es reducido el hombre] á un bocado de pan; y la mujer caza la preciosa alma del varón.
27 ¿Tomará el hombre fuego en su seno, sin que sus vestidos se quemen?
28 ¿Andará el hombre sobre las brasas, sin que sus pies se abrasen?
