1 Hijo mío, presta atención a mi sabiduría y escucha mi enseñanza, 2 para que los propósitos sabios guíen tu conducta y tus labios conserven el conocimiento. 3 Porque de los labios de la mujer ajena gotea miel, y sus palabras son más suaves que el aceite. 4 Pero al final es amarga como el ajenjo y afilada como una espada de dos filos. 5 Sus pies bajan a la muerte y sus pasos al lugar de los muertos. 6 Nunca piensa en el camino de la vida; sus caminos son inciertos y ella carece de conocimiento. 7 Escúchenme, hijos míos, y no se aparten de mis palabras. 8 Aléjate de esa mujer; no te acerques a la puerta de su casa. 9 No sea que entregues tu honor a otros y tus riquezas a desconocidos, 10 que esos desconocidos se llenen de tus riquezas y el fruto de tu trabajo vaya a la casa de otros. 11 Al final de tu vida te llenarás de dolor, cuando tu cuerpo se haya consumido. 12 Y dirás: «¡Cómo odié la enseñanza y desprecié la disciplina! 13 ¡No escuché la voz de mis maestros ni presté atención a quienes me guiaban! 14 En medio del pueblo, estuve metido en casi toda clase de mal». 15 Bebe el agua de tu propia cisterna, no la de otros, y el agua que corre de tu propia fuente. 16 Que tus manantiales no se derramen por las calles ni tus corrientes de agua por las plazas. 17 Que sean solo para ti y no para otros hombres contigo. 18 Que tu fuente sea bendita; disfruta con la esposa de tu juventud. 19 Como una cierva amorosa y una gacela delicada, que sus pechos te llenen siempre de placer y su amor despierte tu pasión en todo momento. 20 Hijo mío, ¿por qué dejarte desviar por una mujer ajena y abrazar a otra mujer? 21 Porque el Señor ve los caminos del ser humano y pesa todos sus pasos en la balanza. 22 El malvado quedará atrapado en la red de sus delitos y preso en las cuerdas de su pecado. 23 Morirá por falta de enseñanza; su gran necedad lo hará apartarse del buen camino.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Quotes verse 5:22 Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies (Book III, Chapter VII)

    … in man." For He called all men that mourn; and granting forgiveness to those who had been led into captivity by their sins, He loosed them from their chains, of whom Solomon says, "Every one shall be holden with the cords of his own sins." Therefore did the Spirit of God descend upon Him, [the Spirit] of Him who had …

    For it is even this Holy Spirit, whom the bad cannot receive, even He is that Fountain of which the Scripture saith, "Let the fountain of thy water be thine own, and let no stranger partake with thee." For all who love not God, are strangers, are antichrists.

  3. Quotes verse 5:2–4 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily LXXIII)

    … "Give not heed to a bad woman: for honey droppeth from the lips of a woman that is an harlot, which, for a season, is luscious unto thy throat; but afterwards thou shalt find it more bitter than gall, and sharper than a two-edged sword." Unto these last then let us listen, not unto those.

  4. Quotes verse 5:15 Cyril of Jerusalem, Catechetical Lectures (Lecture XVI)

    Let then thus much suffice concerning those outcasts; and now let us return to the divine Scriptures, and let us drink waters out of our own cisterns [that is, the holy Fathers ], and out of our own springing wells.
