Verse 7 is found in chapter 5 of Proverbs. The chapter warns against sexual immorality through the image of a woman whose appearance may seem attractive but whose path ultimately leads to bitterness. The language of keeping one’s distance emphasizes that wisdom requires recognizing danger before approaching it. The result of ignoring instruction is described through delayed regret: whoever despises correction eventually laments before others the discipline he rejected.

So gehorchet mir nun, meine Kinder, und weichet nicht von der Rede meines Mundes.
Ahora pues, hijos, oidme, Y no os apartéis de las razones de mi boca.
Ahora, pues, hijos, escúchenme y no se aparten de las palabras de mi boca.
Et maintenant, mes fils, écoutez-moi, Et ne vous écartez pas des paroles de ma bouche.
Ora dunque, figliuoli, ascoltatemi, E non vi dipartite da’ detti della mia bocca.
Agora, pois, filhos, dai-me ouvidos, e não vos desvieis das palavras da minha boca.
孩子們,現在要聽從我, 不可離棄我口中的言語。
