Proverbs 7




lesserot@Proverbs:7:1 @ My son, observe my sayings, and my commandments must thou treasure up with thee.

lesserot@Proverbs:7:2 @ Observe my commandments, and live: and my teaching as the apple of thy eyes.

lesserot@Proverbs:7:3 @ Bind them around thy fingers, write them upon the table of thy heart.

lesserot@Proverbs:7:4 @ Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister; and call understanding thy kinswoman:

lesserot@Proverbs:7:5 @ That they may keep thee from an adulterous woman, from an alien that useth flattering speeches.

lesserot@Proverbs:7:6 @ For through the window of my house, through my lattice did I look out,

lesserot@Proverbs:7:7 @ And I beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a lad void of sense;

lesserot@Proverbs:7:8 @ He was passing through the market–place near her corner; and he stepped along on the way to her house,

lesserot@Proverbs:7:9 @ In the twilight, in the evening of the day, in the depth of the night and when it was dark:

lesserot@Proverbs:7:10 @ And, behold, a woman came to meet him with the attire of a harlot, and obdurate of heart.

lesserot@Proverbs:7:11 @ (She is noisy and ungovernable; in her house her feet never rest;

lesserot@Proverbs:7:12 @ At one time she is in the street, at another in the open places, and near every corner doth she lurk,)

lesserot@Proverbs:7:13 @ And she caught hold of him, and kissed him, and with an impudent face she said to him,

lesserot@Proverbs:7:14 @ "I had bound myself to bring peace–offerings; this day have I paid my vows:

lesserot@Proverbs:7:15 @ Therefore am I come forth to meet thee, to seek thy presence diligently, and I have found thee.

lesserot@Proverbs:7:16 @ With tapestry coverings have I decked my bed, with embroidered coverlids of the fine linen of Egypt.

lesserot@Proverbs:7:17 @ I have sprinkled my couch with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.

lesserot@Proverbs:7:18 @ Come, let us indulge in love until the morning: let us delight ourselves with dalliances.

lesserot@Proverbs:7:19 @ For the man is not in his house, he is gone on a journey a great way off:

lesserot@Proverbs:7:20 @ The bag of money hath he taken with him, by the day of the new–moon festival only will he come home."

lesserot@Proverbs:7:21 @ She seduced him by the abundance of her reasoning: by the flattery of her lips she misguided him.

lesserot@Proverbs:7:22 @ He followed after her suddenly, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, and as in fetters to his correction, the fool:

lesserot@Proverbs:7:23 @ Till an arrow cleaveth through his liver; as a bird hasteneth into the snare, and knoweth not that it is done to take his life.

lesserot@Proverbs:7:24 @ And now, O children, hearken unto me, and listen to the sayings of my mouth.

lesserot@Proverbs:7:25 @ Let not thy heart turn aside to her ways, do not go astray on her paths.

lesserot@Proverbs:7:26 @ For many deadly wounded hath she caused to fall: yea, very numerous are all those slain by her.

lesserot@Proverbs:7:27 @ The ways to the nether world is her house leading down to the chambers of death.
