Proverbs 7

1My sonH1121, keepH8104 my wordsH561, And lay up my commandmentsH4687 with thee.2KeepH8104 my commandmentsH4687 and liveH2421; And my lawH8451 as the apple of thine eyeH5869.3BindH7194 them upon thy fingersH676; WriteH3789 them upon the tabletH3871 of thy heartH3820.4SayH559 unto wisdomH2451, Thou art my sisterH269; And callH7121 understandingH998thy kinswoman:5That they may keepH8104 thee from the strangeH2114 womanH802, From the foreignerH5237 that flattereth with her wordsH561.6For at the windowH2474 of my houseH1004 I lookedH8259 forth through my lattice;7And I beheld among the simple ones, I discernedH995 among the youthsH5288, A youngH5288 manH5288 void of understandingH995,8PassingH5674 through the street near her cornerH6438; And he went the wayH1870 to her houseH1004,9In the twilight, in the eveningH6153 of the dayH3117, In the middle of the nightH3915 and in the darknessH653.10And, behold, there met him a womanH802 With the attire of a harlot, and wily of heartH3820.11(She is clamorous and wilful; Her feetH7272 abide not in her houseH1004:12Now she is in the streetsH2351, now in the broad places, And lieth in waitH693 at every cornerH6438.)13So she caught him, and kissedH5401 him, Andwith an impudent faceH6440 she saidH559 unto him:14SacrificesH2077 of peace-offerings are with me; This dayH3117 have I paid my vowsH5088.15ThereforeH3651 cameH3318 I forthH3318 to meet thee, Diligently to seekH7836 thy faceH6440, and I have foundH4672 thee.16I have spread my couchH6210 with carpets of tapestry, With striped cloths of the yarn of EgyptH4714.17I have perfumed my bedH4904 With myrrhH4753, aloes, and cinnamonH7076.18Come, let us take our fillH7301 of love until the morningH1242; Let us solace ourselves with loves.19For the manH376 is not at home; He is goneH1980 a long journeyH1870:20He hath takenH3947 a bagH6872 of moneyH3701 with him; He will comeH935 home at the full moonH3677.21With her much fair speech she causeth him to yield; With the flattering of her lipsH8193 she forceth him along.22He goeth after her straightway, As an oxH7794 goeth to the slaughterH2874, Or asone infetters to the correctionH4148 of the foolH191;23Till an arrowH2671 strike through his liverH3516; As a birdH6833 hasteth to the snareH6341, And knoweth not that it is for his lifeH5315.24NowH6258 thereforeH6258, mysonsH1121, hearken unto me, And attend to the wordsH561 of my mouthH6310.25Let not thy heartH3820 decline to her waysH1870; GoH8582 not astrayH8582 in her pathsH5410.26For she hath castH5307 downH5307 manyH7227 woundedH2491: Yea, all her slainH2026 are a mightyH6099 host.27Her houseH1004 is the wayH1870 to SheolH7585, GoingH3381 downH3381 to the chambersH2315 of deathH4194.
