Do not eat the bread of a stingy man, and do not crave his delicacies;

for he is keeping track, inwardly counting the cost. “Eat and drink,” he says to you, but his heart is not with you.
8 Anama ne'nana ne'zana amu'atinetrenka, nanekema hu so'e hunte'nana zamo'a, amanezankna hugahie.
You will vomit up what little you have eaten and waste your pleasant words.

For a prostitute is a deep pit, and an adulteress is a narrow well.

Like a robber she lies in wait and multiplies the faithless among men.

Those who linger over wine, who go to taste mixed drinks.

In the end it bites like a snake and stings like a viper.
33 Kavumo'a ruzahu ruzahu'za negenkeno, antahintahi kamo'a savri nehina, kema hanana kemo'a savri hugahie.
Your eyes will see strange things, and your mind will utter perversities.
34 Hagi e'inama nehanana, hageri amu'nompi me'nea ventefi mase'nankeno kranto kranto huno kazeri tore tore hiankna nehuno, ventemofo seli rente zafare mani'nankeno, zahomo kavregantugama hiankna hugahane.
You will be like one sleeping on the high seas or lying on the top of a mast:
35 Anage hugahane, nahazanagi nata onkrine hunka nehunka, kanona namizanagi antahina kena osu'no'e hugahane. Hanki nagrama ete otisuna, mago'ane ana tina negahue nehane.
“They struck me, but I feel no pain! They beat me, but I did not know it! When can I wake up to search for another drink?”
