Proverbs 7 Verses
1
|
My son, keep my words, And treasure my commands within you. |
2
|
Keep my commands and live, And my law as the apple of your eye. |
3
|
Bind them on your fingers; Write them on the tablet of your heart. |
4
|
Say to wisdom, "You [are] my sister," And call understanding [your] nearest kin, |
5
|
That they may keep you from the immoral woman, From the seductress [who] flatters with her words. |
6
|
For at the window of my house I looked through my lattice, |
7
|
And saw among the simple, I perceived among the youths, A young man devoid of understanding, |
8
|
Passing along the street near her corner; And he took the path to her house |
9
|
In the twilight, in the evening, In the black and dark night. |
10
|
And there a woman met him, [With] the attire of a harlot, and a crafty heart. |
11
|
She [was] loud and rebellious, Her feet would not stay at home. |
12
|
At times [she was] outside, at times in the open square, Lurking at every corner. |
13
|
So she caught him and kissed him; With an impudent face she said to him: |
14
|
"[I have] peace offerings with me; Today I have paid my vows. |
15
|
So I came out to meet you, Diligently to seek your face, And I have found you. |
16
|
I have spread my bed with tapestry, Colored coverings of Egyptian linen. |
17
|
I have perfumed my bed With myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. |
18
|
Come, let us take our fill of love until morning; Let us delight ourselves with love. |
19
|
For my husband [is] not at home; He has gone on a long journey; |
20
|
He has taken a bag of money with him, [And] will come home on the appointed day." |
21
|
With her enticing speech she caused him to yield, With her flattering lips she seduced him. |
22
|
Immediately he went after her, as an ox goes to the slaughter, Or as a fool to the correction of the stocks, |
23
|
Till an arrow struck his liver. As a bird hastens to the snare, He did not know it [would cost] his life. |
24
|
Now therefore, listen to me, [my] children; Pay attention to the words of my mouth: |
25
|
Do not let your heart turn aside to her ways, Do not stray into her paths; |
26
|
For she has cast down many wounded, And all who were slain by her were strong [men.] |
27
|
Her house [is] the way to hell, Descending to the chambers of death. |
