So, my friend, listen closely; don’t treat my words casually. Keep your distance from such a woman; absolutely stay out of her neighborhood. You don’t want to squander your wonderful life, to waste your precious life among the hardhearted. Why should you allow strangers to take advantage of you? Why be exploited by those who care nothing for you? You don’t want to end your life full of regrets, nothing but sin and bones, Saying, “Oh, why didn’t I do what they told me? Why did I reject a disciplined life? Why didn’t I listen to my mentors, or take my teachers seriously? My life is ruined! I haven’t one blessed thing to show for my life!”

lest you give your honor to others, and your years to the cruel;
lest you give your honor to others and your years to the merciless;
lest you give your honor to others and your years to the merciless;
lest you give your strength to others and your years to one who is cruel;
Unless you are ready to hand over your reputation to someone else, unless you want to spend the rest of your years at the mercy of some cruel person.
