Proverbs 7 Verses
1
|
My son, keep my wordsand treasure up my commandments with you; |
2
|
keep my commandments and live; keep my teaching 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 insight your intimate friend, |
5
|
to keep you from the forbidden woman, from the adulteress with her smooth words. |
6
|
For at the window of my house I have looked out through my lattice, |
7
|
and I have seen among the simple, I have perceived among the youths, a young man lacking sense, |
8
|
passing along the street near her corner, taking the road to her house |
9
|
in the twilight, in the evening, at the time of night and darkness. |
10
|
And behold, the woman meets him, dressed as a prostitute, wily of heart. |
11
|
She is loud and wayward; her feet do not stay at home; |
12
|
now in the street, now in the market, and at every corner she lies in wait. |
13
|
She seizes him and kisses him, and with bold face she says to him, |
14
|
"I had to offer sacrifices, and today I have paid my vows; |
15
|
so now I have come out to meet you, to seek you eagerly, and I have found you. |
16
|
I have spread my couch with coverings, colored linens from Egyptian linen; |
17
|
I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. |
18
|
Come, let us take our fill of love till morning; let us delight ourselves with love. |
19
|
For my husband is not at home; he has gone on a long journey; |
20
|
he took a bag of money with him; at full moon he will come home." |
21
|
With much seductive speech she persuades him; with her smooth talk she compels him. |
22
|
All at once he follows her, as an ox goes to the slaughter, or as a stag is caught fast |
23
|
till an arrow pierces its liver; as a bird rushes into a snare; he does not know that it will cost him his life. |
24
|
And now, O sons, listen to me, and be attentive to the words of my mouth. |
25
|
Let not your heart turn aside to her ways; do not stray into her paths, |
26
|
for many a victim has she laid low, and all her slain are a mighty throng. |
27
|
Her house is the way to Sheol, going down to the chambers of death. |
