“Do not fall
Into the grip of passion.
You may be torn apart
As by a bull.
Your leaves will be devoured.
Your fruit destroyed.
You will be left
Like a withered tree.
Evil passion destroys
Those who have it.
It makes them the laughingstock of their enemies.”
You should not fall into the grip of evil passions. You will be torn apart as if a bull were attacking you. You life will be like a tree with its leaves and fruits destroyed. You will be like a withered tree. Evil passion destroys the ones who have it. It also makes them the laughingstock of their enemies.
