Proverbs 7

Proverbs 7:1: My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee. Proverbs 7:2: Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye. Proverbs 7:3: Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thine heart. Proverbs 7:4: Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister; and call understanding thy kinswoman: Proverbs 7:5: That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger which flattereth with her words. Proverbs 7:6: For at the window of my house I looked through my casement, Proverbs 7:7: And beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding, Proverbs 7:8: Passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house, Proverbs 7:9: In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night: Proverbs 7:10: And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart. Proverbs 7:11: (She is loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house: Proverbs 7:12: Now is she without, now in the streets, and lieth in wait at every corner.) Proverbs 7:13: So she caught him, and kissed him, and with an impudent face said unto him, Proverbs 7:14: I have peace offerings with me; this day have I payed my vows. Proverbs 7:15: Therefore came I forth to meet thee, diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee. Proverbs 7:16: I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with carved works, with fine linen of Egypt. Proverbs 7:17: I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. Proverbs 7:18: Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning: let us solace ourselves with loves. Proverbs 7:19: For the goodman is not at home, he is gone a long journey: Proverbs 7:20: He hath taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at the day appointed. Proverbs 7:21: With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him. Proverbs 7:22: He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks; Proverbs 7:23: Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life. Proverbs 7:24: Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend to the words of my mouth. Proverbs 7:25: Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths. Proverbs 7:26: For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her. Proverbs 7:27: Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death.
