nasb@Proverbs:7:1 @My son, keep my words And treasure my commandments within you.

nasb@Proverbs:7:2 @Keep my commandments and live, And my teaching as the apple of your eye.

nasb@Proverbs:7:3 @Bind them on your fingers; Write them on the tablet of your heart.

nasb@Proverbs:7:4 @Say to wisdom, "You are my sister," And call understanding your intimate friend;

nasb@Proverbs:7:5 @That they may keep you from an adulteress, From the foreigner who flatters with her words.

nasb@Proverbs:7:6 @For at the window of my house I looked out through my lattice,

nasb@Proverbs:7:7 @And I saw among the naive, And discerned among the youths A young man lacking sense,

nasb@Proverbs:7:8 @Passing through the street near her corner; And he takes the way to her house,

nasb@Proverbs:7:9 @In the twilight, in the evening, In the middle of the night and in the darkness.

nasb@Proverbs:7:10 @And behold, a woman comes to meet him, Dressed as a harlot and cunning of heart.

nasb@Proverbs:7:11 @She is boisterous and rebellious, Her feet do not remain at home;

nasb@Proverbs:7:12 @She is now in the streets, now in the squares, And lurks by every corner.

nasb@Proverbs:7:13 @So she seizes him and kisses him And with a brazen face she says to him-

nasb@Proverbs:7:14" @I was due to offer peace offerings; Today I have paid my vows.

nasb@Proverbs:7:15" @Therefore I have come out to meet you, To seek your presence earnestly, and I have found you.

nasb@Proverbs:7:16" @I have spread my couch with coverings, With colored linens of Egypt.

nasb@Proverbs:7:17" @I have sprinkled my bed With myrrh, aloes and cinnamon.

nasb@Proverbs:7:18" @Come, let us drink our fill of love until morning; Let us delight ourselves with caresses.

nasb@Proverbs:7:19" @For my husband is not at home, He has gone on a long journey;

nasb@Proverbs:7:20 @He has taken a bag of money with him, At the full moon he will come home."

nasb@Proverbs:7:21 @With her many persuasions she entices him; With her flattering lips she seduces him.

nasb@Proverbs:7:22 @Suddenly he follows her As an ox goes to the slaughter, Or as one in fetters to the discipline of a fool,

nasb@Proverbs:7:23 @Until an arrow pierces through his liver; As a bird hastens to the snare, So he does not know that it will cost him his life.

nasb@Proverbs:7:24 @Now therefore, my sons, listen to me, And pay attention to the words of my mouth.

nasb@Proverbs:7:25 @Do not let your heart turn aside to her ways, Do not stray into her paths.

nasb@Proverbs:7:26 @For many are the victims she has cast down, And numerous are all her slain.

nasb@Proverbs:7:27 @Her house is the way to Sheol, Descending to the chambers of death.
