Good Advice for a New Year

Dear friend, take my advice; it will add years to your life.
I'm writing out clear directions to Wisdom Way, I'm drawing a map to Righteous Road.
I don't want you ending up in blind alleys, or wasting time making wrong turns.
Hold tight to good advice; don't relax your grip. Guard it well—your life is at stake!
Don't take Wicked Bypass; don't so much as set foot on that road.
Stay clear of it; give it a wide berth. Make a detour and be on your way.

The Seductress

So, friends, listen to me, take these words of mine most seriously.Don't fool around with a woman like that; don't even stroll through her neighborhood.
Countless victims come under her spell; she's the death of many a poor man.
She runs a halfway house to hell, fits you out with a shroud and a coffin.

Marriage

Your spring water is for you and you only,
not to be passed around among strangers.
Bless your fresh-flowing fountain!
Enjoy the wife you married as a young man!
Lovely as an angel, beautiful as a rose—
don't ever quit taking delight in her body.
Never take her love for granted!
Why would you trade enduring intimacies for cheap thrills with a whore?
for dalliance with a promiscuous stranger?
