| 5:1 | Mi sone, perseyue thou my wisdom, and bowe doun thin eere to my prudence; that thou kepe thi thouytis, |
| 5:2 | and thi lippis kepe teching. Yyue thou not tent to the falsnesse of a womman; |
| 5:3 | for the lippis of an hoore ben an hony coomb droppinge, and hir throte is clerere than oile; |

| 5:12 | Whi wlatide Y teching, and myn herte assentide not to blamyngis; |
| 5:13 | nether Y herde the voys of men techinge me, and Y bowide not doun myn eere to maistris? |
| 5:14 | Almest Y was in al yuel, in the myddis of the chirche, and of the synagoge. |
| 5:15 | Drinke thou watir of thi cisterne, and the floodis of thi pit. |
| 5:16 | Thi wellis be stremed forth; and departe thi watris in stretis. |
| 5:17 | Haue thou aloone `tho watris; and aliens be not thi parceneris. |
| 5:18 | Thi veyne be blessid; and be thou glad with the womman of thi yong wexynge age. |
| 5:19 | An hynde moost dereworthe; and an hert calf moost acceptable. Hir teetis fille thee in al tyme; and delite thou contynueli in the loue of hir. |

| 5:21 | The Lord seeth the weie of a man; and biholdith alle hise steppis. |
| 5:22 | The wickidnessis of a wyckid man taken hym; and he is boundun with the roopis of hise synnes. |
| 5:23 | He schal die, for he hadde not lernyng; and he schal be disseyued in the mychilnesse of his fooli. |
| 5:1 | My sonne, hearken vnto my wisedome, and incline thine eare vnto my knowledge. |
| 5:2 | That thou maiest regarde counsell, and thy lippes obserue knowledge. |
| 5:3 | For the lippes of a strange woman drop as an honie combe, and her mouth is more soft then oyle. |
| 5:4 | But the end of her is bitter as wormewood, and sharpe as a two edged sworde. |
| 5:5 | Her feete goe downe to death, and her steps take holde on hell. |
| 5:6 | She weigheth not the way of life: her paths are moueable: thou canst not knowe them. |
| 5:7 | Heare yee me nowe therefore, O children, and depart not from the wordes of my mouth. |
| 5:8 | Keepe thy way farre from her, and come not neere the doore of her house, |
| 5:9 | Least thou giue thine honor vnto others, and thy yeeres to the cruell: |
| 5:10 | Least the stranger should be silled with thy strength, and thy labours bee in the house of a stranger, |
| 5:11 | And thou mourne at thine end, (when thou hast consumed thy flesh and thy bodie) |
| 5:12 | And say, How haue I hated instruction, and mine heart despised correction! |
| 5:13 | And haue not obeied the voyce of them that taught mee, nor enclined mine eare to them that instructed me! |

| 5:15 | Drinke the water of thy cisterne, and of the riuers out of the middes of thine owne well. |
| 5:16 | Let thy fountaines flow foorth, and the riuers of waters in the streetes. |
| 5:17 | But let them bee thine, euen thine onely, and not the strangers with thee. |
| 5:18 | Let thy fountaine be blessed, and reioyce with the wife of thy youth. |
| 5:19 | Let her be as the louing hinde and pleasant roe: let her brests satisfie thee at all times, and delite in her loue continually. |

| 5:21 | For the waies of man are before the eyes of the Lord, and he pondereth all his pathes. |
| 5:22 | His owne iniquities shall take the wicked himselfe, and he shall be holden with the cordes of his owne sinne. |
| 5:23 | Hee shall die for fault of instruction, and shall goe astray through his great follie. |
