Look not round about you in the streets of the city, Neither wander you in the solitary places thereof.
9:8
Averte faciem tuam a muliere compta, et ne circumspicias speciem alienam.
要轉眼不看美貌的女子，不要凝視別人的美色；許多人因女子的美貌而迷失，這樣的情慾如火般被點燃。
Turn away your eye from a comely woman, And gaze not on another’s beauty: By the beauty of a woman many have been led astray; And herewith love is kindled as a fire.
9:9
Propter speciem mulieris multi perierunt : et ex hoc concupiscentia quasi ignis exardescit.
絕不要與有夫之婦同坐，也不要與她飲酒作樂，免得你的心偏向她，使你的靈墮入滅亡。
Sit not at all with a woman that has a husband; And revel not with her at the wine; Lest haply your soul turn away to her, And with your spirit you slide into destruction.
9:10
Omnis mulier quæ est fornicaria, quasi stercus in via conculcabitur.
不要捨棄舊友，因為新朋友比不上他；新朋友如同新酒，待它陳久了，你才能歡然暢飲。
Forsake not an old friend; For the new is not comparable to him: As new wine, so is a new friend; If it become old, you will drink it with gladness.
9:11
Speciem mulieris alienæ multi admirati, reprobi facti sunt : colloquium enim illius quasi ignis exardescit.

Cum aliena muliere ne sedeas omnino, nec accumbas cum ea super cubitum :

Delight not in the delights of the ungodly: Remember they will not go unpunished to the grave.
9:13
et non alterceris cum illa in vino, ne forte declinet cor tuum in illam, et sanguine tuo labaris in perditionem.
要遠離有權殺人的人，你就不必懼怕死亡的恐怖；你若就近他，就不可有過失，免得他奪去你的性命；要曉得你是行在網羅之中，行走在城牆的雉堞之上。
Keep you far from the man that has power to kill, And you will have no suspicion of the fear of death: And if you come to him, commit no fault, Lest he take away your life: Know surely that you go about in the midst of snares, And walk upon the battlements of a city.
9:14
Ne derelinquas amicum antiquum : novus enim non erit similis illi.

As well as you can, guess at your neighbors; And take counsel with the wise.

9:17
Non placeat tibi injuria injustorum, sciens quoniam usque ad inferos non placebit impius.
工匠的手藝因工作而受稱讚，治理百姓的人因言語而顯為智慧。
For the hand of the artificers a work will be commended: And he that rules the people will be counted wise for his speech.
9:18
Longe abesto ab homine potestatem habente occidendi, et non suspicaberis timorem mortis.
多言的人在城中令人懼怕，言語輕率的人必被人厭惡。
A man full of tongue is dangerous in his city; And he that is headlong in his speech will be hated.
