vw - Proverbs:7

vw@Proverbs:7:1 @ My son, keep my words and treasure up my commandments within you.

vw@Proverbs:7:2 @ Keep my commandments and live, and my law as the pupil of your eye.

vw@Proverbs:7:3 @ Tie them upon your fingers; write them upon the tablet of your heart.

vw@Proverbs:7:4 @ Say to wisdom, You are my sister, and call understanding your kinsman,

vw@Proverbs:7:5 @ that they may keep you from the strange woman, from the foreigner who makes smooth her words.

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

vw@Proverbs:7:7 @ and I saw among the simple ones, I observed among the children a young man lacking heart,

vw@Proverbs:7:8 @ passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house,

vw@Proverbs:7:9 @ in the twilight, in the evening of the day, in the middle of the darkness of night.

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

vw@Proverbs:7:11 @ (She is boisterous and stubborn; her feet do not settle down in her own house.

vw@Proverbs:7:12 @ At one moment she is outside, the next in the streets, and she lies in wait at every corner.)

vw@Proverbs:7:13 @ So she has seized him and kissed him; and with straight face says to him,

vw@Proverbs:7:14 @ Regarding my peace offerings, today I have completed my vows;

vw@Proverbs:7:15 @ therefore I came out to meet you, earnestly to seek your face, and I have found you.

vw@Proverbs:7:16 @ I have spread my bed with coverings, with striped cloths of linen from Egypt.

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

vw@Proverbs:7:18 @ Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning; let us delight ourselves with lovemaking.

vw@Proverbs:7:19 @ For my husband is not at home; he has gone on a long journey.

vw@Proverbs:7:20 @ He has taken in hand a bag of money, and will come home on the day of the full moon.

vw@Proverbs:7:21 @ With great persuasion she influences him; with her seductive lips she moves him.

vw@Proverbs:7:22 @ In an instant he goes after her, as an ox goes to the slaughter, or as a fool goes to correction in fetters;

vw@Proverbs:7:23 @ till an arrow strikes through his liver, as a bird hastens to the snare; and does not realize that it is for his soul.

vw@Proverbs:7:24 @ Now then, listen to me, O sons, and pay attention to the words of my mouth:

vw@Proverbs:7:25 @ Do not let your heart turn aside to her ways; do not go astray in her paths.

vw@Proverbs:7:26 @ For many are the wounded she has caused to fall, and countless are the ones slain by her.

vw@Proverbs:7:27 @ Her house is the way to Sheol, going down to the rooms of death.
