7 E agora, filhos, escutai-me; e não vos desvieis das palavras de minha boca.
8 Mantenha teu caminho longe dela; e não te aproximes da porta da casa dela.
9 Para que não dês tua honra a outros, nem teus anos [de vida] aos cruéis.
10 Para que estranhos não se fartem de teu poder, e teus trabalhos [não sejam] aproveitados em casa alheia;
11 E gemas em teu fim, quando tua carne e teu corpo estiverem consumidos.
