This has been said concerning one's own wife; how much more so does it apply to the wife of another. Hence the Sages have declared: Anyone who indulges excessively in conversation with a woman causes evil to himself, neglects the study of Torah, and will in the end inherit Gehinnom [Purgatory]. ve-AL tar|BEH si|CHAH im ha-i|SHAH, be-ish|TO a|me|RU, kal va|CHO|mer be-E|shet cha|ve|RO. mi|KAN a|me|RU cha|cha|MIM: kol ha|mar|BEH si|CHAH im ha-i|SHAH, go|REM ra-AH le-atz|MO, u|vo|TEL mi|div|REI to|RAH, ve|so|FO yo|RESH gei|hi|NOM. ve|ʾAL tar|BEH śi|ḥAH ʿim ha|ʾis|SHAH, be|ʾish|TO ʾa|me|RU, qal va|ḥO|mer be|ʾE|sheth ḥa|ve|RO. mik|KAʾN ʾa|me|RU ḥa|kha|MIM: kol ham|mar|BEH śi|ḥAH ʿim ha|ʾis|SHAH, go|REM ra|ʿAH le|ʿatz|MO, u|vo|ṭEL mid|div|RE to|RAH, ve|so|FO yo|RESH ge|hin|NOM. ve|AL tar|BEH si|ḥAH ʿim ha|is|SHAH, be|ish|TO a|me|RU, qal va|ḥO|mer be|E|shet ḥa|ve|RO. mik|KAN a|me|RU ḥa|kha|MIM: kol ham|mar|BEH si|ḥAH ʿim ha|is|SHAH, go|REM ra|ʿAH le|ʿatz|MO, u|vo|TEL mid|div|RE to|RAH, ve|so|FO yo|RESH ge|hin|NOM. v'AL tar|BEH si|CHOH im ho-i|SHOH, b'ish|TOY om'|RU, kal vo|CHOY|mer b'EI|shes cha|vei|ROY. mi|KON om'|RU cha|cho|MIM: kol ha|mar|BEH si|CHOH im ho-i|SHOH, goy|REIM ro-OH l'atz|MOY, u|voy|TEIL mi|div|REI toy|ROH, v'soy|FOY yoy|REISH gei|hi|NOYM.
