1 Hijo mío, atiende a mi sabiduría, E inclina tu oído a mi entendimiento, 2 Para que guardes discreción Y tus labios conserven conocimiento. 3 Porque los labios de la mujer inmoral destilan miel, Y su paladar es más suave que el aceite. 4 Pero su propósito es amargo como el ajenjo Y agudo como espada de dos filos. 5 Sus pies descienden a la muerte. Sus pasos se precipitan al Seol. 6 No considera el camino de la vida. Sus sendas son inestables, pero ella no lo sabe. 7 Ahora, pues, hijos, escúchenme. No se aparten de las palabras de mi boca: 8 Aleja de ella tu camino. No te acerques a la puerta de su casa 9 No sea que des a otros tu vigor, Y tus años al cruel. 10 No sea que los extraños se llenen de tus fuerzas, Y tu esfuerzo se quede en casa ajena. 11 Gemirás cuando te llegue el desenlace, Y se consuma la carne de tu cuerpo. 12 Entonces dirás: ¡Cómo aborrecí la corrección, Y mi corazón menospreció la reprensión! 13 ¡No hice caso a la voz de mis maestros, Ni presté oído a mis instructores! 14 Casi en la cima de todo mal estuve En medio de la asamblea y de la congregación. 15 Bebe el agua de tu propia cisterna, Y el agua fresca de tu propio pozo. 16 ¿Se derramarán afuera tus manantiales, Tus corrientes de aguas por las plazas? 17 ¡Sean solamente tuyos, Y no de extraños contigo! 18 Sea bendito tu manantial Y regocíjate con la esposa de tu juventud, 19 Como hermosa venada o graciosa gacela, Sus pechos te satisfagan en todo tiempo, Y recréate siempre con su amor. 20 ¿Por qué, hijo mío, estarás apasionado con mujer ajena, Y abrazarás el seno de una extraña? 21 Porque los caminos del hombre están ante los ojos de Yavé. Él observa todas sus sendas. 22 En su propia iniquidad quedará atrapado el inicuo. Será atado con las cuerdas de su propio pecado. 23 Morirá por falta de corrección, Extraviado en la inmensidad de su locura.

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.

    … "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.
