1 Hijo mío, presta atención a mi sabiduría y escucha mi enseñanza,
1 My son, pay attention to my wisdom. Turn your ear to my understanding,
2 para que los propósitos sabios guíen tu conducta y tus labios conserven el conocimiento.
2 that you may maintain discretion, that your lips may preserve knowledge.
3 Porque de los labios de la mujer ajena gotea miel, y sus palabras son más suaves que el aceite.
3 For the lips of an adulteress drip honey. Her mouth is smoother than oil,
4 Pero al final es amarga como el ajenjo y afilada como una espada de dos filos.
4 but in the end she is as bitter as wormwood, and as sharp as a two-edged sword.
5 Sus pies bajan a la muerte y sus pasos al lugar de los muertos.
5 Her feet go down to death. Her steps lead straight to Sheol.
6 Nunca piensa en el camino de la vida; sus caminos son inciertos y ella carece de conocimiento.
6 She gives no thought to the way of life. Her ways are crooked, and she doesn’t know it.
7 Escúchenme, hijos míos, y no se aparten de mis palabras.
7 Now therefore, my sons, listen to me. Don’t depart from the words of my mouth.
8 Aléjate de esa mujer; no te acerques a la puerta de su casa.
8 Remove your way far from her. Don’t come near the door of her house,
9 No sea que entregues tu honor a otros y tus riquezas a desconocidos,
9 lest you give your honor to others, and your years to the cruel one;
10 que esos desconocidos se llenen de tus riquezas y el fruto de tu trabajo vaya a la casa de otros.
10 lest strangers feast on your wealth, and your labors enrich another man’s house.
11 Al final de tu vida te llenarás de dolor, cuando tu cuerpo se haya consumido.
11 You will groan at your latter end, when your flesh and your body are consumed,
12 Y dirás: «¡Cómo odié la enseñanza y desprecié la disciplina!
12 and say, “How I have hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof.
13 ¡No escuché la voz de mis maestros ni presté atención a quienes me guiaban!
13 I haven’t obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor turned my ear to those who instructed me!
14 En medio del pueblo, estuve metido en casi toda clase de mal».
14 I have come to the brink of utter ruin, among the gathered assembly.”
15 Bebe el agua de tu propia cisterna, no la de otros, y el agua que corre de tu propia fuente.
15 Drink water out of your own cistern, running water out of your own well.
16 Que tus manantiales no se derramen por las calles ni tus corrientes de agua por las plazas.
16 Should your springs overflow in the streets, streams of water in the public squares?
17 Que sean solo para ti y no para otros hombres contigo.
17 Let them be for yourself alone, not for strangers with you.
18 Que tu fuente sea bendita; disfruta con la esposa de tu juventud.
18 Let your spring be blessed. Rejoice in the wife of your youth.
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.
19 A loving doe and a graceful deer— let her breasts satisfy you at all times. Be captivated always with her love.
20 Hijo mío, ¿por qué dejarte desviar por una mujer ajena y abrazar a otra mujer?
20 For why should you, my son, be captivated with an adulteress? Why embrace the bosom of another?
21 Porque el Señor ve los caminos del ser humano y pesa todos sus pasos en la balanza.
21 For the ways of man are before Yahweh’s eyes. He examines all his paths.
22 El malvado quedará atrapado en la red de sus delitos y preso en las cuerdas de su pecado.
22 The evil deeds of the wicked ensnare him. The cords of his sin hold him firmly.
23 Morirá por falta de enseñanza; su gran necedad lo hará apartarse del buen camino.
23 He will die for lack of instruction. In the greatness of his folly, he will go astray.

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).
… 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.

… "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.

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.

"The wicked shall be holden with the cords of his own sins." Thereby are they deceived, whereby they would deceive.
