Proverbs 7




ylt@Proverbs:7:1 @My son! keep my sayings, And my commands lay up with thee.

ylt@Proverbs:7:2 @Keep my commands, and live, And my law as the pupil of thine eye.

ylt@Proverbs:7:3 @Bind them on thy fingers, Write them on the tablet of thy heart.

ylt@Proverbs:7:4 @Say to wisdom, 'My sister Thou [art].' And cry to understanding, 'Kinswoman!'

ylt@Proverbs:7:5 @To preserve thee from a strange woman, From a stranger who hath made smooth her sayings.

ylt@Proverbs:7:6 @For, at a window of my house, Through my casement I have looked out,

ylt@Proverbs:7:7 @And I do see among the simple ones, I discern among the sons, A young man lacking understanding,

ylt@Proverbs:7:8 @Passing on in the street, near her corner, And the way [to] her house he doth step,

ylt@Proverbs:7:9 @In the twilight -- in the evening of day, In the darkness of night and blackness.

ylt@Proverbs:7:10 @And, lo, a woman to meet him -- (A harlot's dress, and watchful of heart,

ylt@Proverbs:7:11 @Noisy she [is], and stubborn, In her house her feet rest not.

ylt@Proverbs:7:12 @Now in an out-place, now in broad places, And near every corner she lieth in wait) --

ylt@Proverbs:7:13 @And she laid hold on him, and kissed him, She hath hardened her face, and saith to him,

ylt@Proverbs:7:14 @'Sacrifices of peace-offerings [are] by me, To-day I have completed my vows.

ylt@Proverbs:7:15 @Therefore I have come forth to meet thee, To seek earnestly thy face, and I find thee.

ylt@Proverbs:7:16 @[With] ornamental coverings I decked my couch, Carved works -- cotton of Egypt.

ylt@Proverbs:7:17 @I sprinkled my bed -- myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.

ylt@Proverbs:7:18 @Come, we are filled [with] loves till the morning, We delight ourselves in loves.

ylt@Proverbs:7:19 @For the man is not in his house, He hath gone on a long journey.

ylt@Proverbs:7:20 @A bag of money he hath taken in his hand, At the day of the new moon he cometh to his house.'

ylt@Proverbs:7:21 @She turneth him aside with the abundance of her speech, With the flattery of her lips she forceth him.

ylt@Proverbs:7:22 @He is going after her straightway, As an ox unto the slaughter he cometh, And as a fetter unto the chastisement of a fool,

ylt@Proverbs:7:23 @Till an arrow doth split his liver, As a bird hath hastened unto a snare, And hath not known that it [is] for its life.

ylt@Proverbs:7:24 @And now, ye sons, hearken to me, And give attention to sayings of my mouth.

ylt@Proverbs:7:25 @Let not thy heart turn unto her ways, Do not wander in her paths,

ylt@Proverbs:7:26 @For many [are] the wounded she caused to fall, And mighty [are] all her slain ones.

ylt@Proverbs:7:27 @The ways of Sheol -- her house, Going down unto inner chambers of death!
