7 Et maintenant, mes fils, écoutez-moi, Et ne vous écartez pas des paroles de ma bouche.
8 Éloigne-toi du chemin qui conduit chez elle, Et ne t’approche pas de la porte de sa maison,
9 De peur que tu ne livres ta vigueur à d’autres, Et tes années à un homme cruel;
10 De peur que des étrangers ne se rassasient de ton bien, Et du produit de ton travail dans la maison d’autrui;
11 De peur que tu ne gémisses, près de ta fin, Quand ta chair et ton corps se consumeront,
