Why should you be intoxicated, my son, with a forbidden woman and embrace the bosom of an adulteress?
For the lips of a forbidden woman drip honey, and her speech is smoother than oil,
So you will be delivered from the forbidden woman, from the adulteress with her smooth words,
Therefore let us make a covenant with our God to put away all these wives and their children, according to the counsel of my lord and of those who tremble at the commandment of our God, and let it be done according to the Law.
