1Be not jealous over the wife of your bosom, and teach her not an evil lesson against thyself.
2Give not your soul to a woman to set her foot upon your substance.
3Meet not with an harlot, lest you fall into her snares.
4Use not much the company of a woman that is a singer, lest you be taken with her attempts.
5Gaze not on a maid, that you fall not by those things that are precious in her.
6Give not your soul to harlots, that you lose not your inheritance.
7Look not round about you in the streets of the city, neither wander you in the solitary place thereof.
8Turn away your eye from a beautiful woman, and look not upon another’s beauty; for many have been deceived by the beauty of a woman; for herewith love is kindled as a fire.
