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