Proverbs 7
- 1 My son, keep my words, and lay up my precepts with thee. Son,
- 2 Keep my commandments, and thou shalt live: and my law as the apple of thy eye:
- 3 Bind it upon thy fingers, write it upon the tables of thy heart.
- 4 Say to wisdom: Thou art my sister: and call prudence thy friend,
- 5 That she may keep thee from the woman that is not thine, and from the stranger who sweeteneth her words.
- 6 For I looked out of the window of my house through the lattice,
- 7 And I see little ones, I behold a foolish young man,
- 8 Who passeth through the street by the corner, and goeth nigh the way of her house,
- 9 In the dark when it grows late, in the darkness and obscurity of the night.
- 10 And behold a woman meeteth him in harlot's attire, prepared to deceive souls: talkative and wandering,
- 11 Not bearing to be quiet, not able to abide still at home,
- 12 Now abroad, now in the streets, now lying in wait near the corners.
- 13 And catching the young man, she kisseth him, and with an impudent face, flattereth, saying:
- 14 I vowed victims for prosperity, this day I have paid my vows.
- 15 Therefore I am come out to meet thee, desirous to see thee, and I have found thee.
- 16 I have woven my bed with cords, I have covered it with painted tapestry, brought from Egypt.
- 17 I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
- 18 Come, let us be inebriated with the breasts, and let us enjoy the desired embraces, till the day appear.
- 19 For my husband is not at home, he is gone a very long journey.
- 20 He took with him a bag of money: he will return home the day of the full moon.
- 21 She entangled him with many words, and drew him away with the flattery of her lips.
- 22 Immediately he followeth her as an ox led to be a victim, and as a lamb playing the wanton, and not knowing that he is drawn like a fool to bonds,
- 23 Till the arrow pierce his liver: as if a bird should make haste to the snare, and knoweth not that his life is in danger.
- 24 Now, therefore, my son, hear me, and attend to the words of my mouth.
- 25 Let not thy mind be drawn away in her ways: neither be thou deceived with her paths.
- 26 For she hath cast down many wounded, and the strongest have been slain by her.
- 27 Her house is the way to hell, reaching even to the inner chambers of death.
