Proverbs 7

1My sonH1121, keepH8104 my wordsH561, and lay up my commandmentsH4687 with thee. 2KeepH8104 my commandmentsH4687, and liveH2421; and my teaching, 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 intelligence [thy] kinswoman: 5that they may keepH8104 thee from the strangeH2114 womanH802, from the stranger who 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 sonsH1121, 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 blackness of nightH3915 and the darknessH653. 10And behold, there met him a womanH802 in the attire of a harlot, and subtle of heartH3820. 11She is clamorous and unmanageable; her feetH7272 abide not in her houseH1004: 12now without, now in the broadways, — and she lieth in waitH693 at every cornerH6438. 13And she caught him and kissedH5401 him, and with an impudent faceH6440 saidH559 unto him, 14I have peace-offerings with me; this dayH3117 have I paid my vowsH5088: 15thereforeH3651 cameH3318 I forthH3318 to meet thee, to seekH7836 earnestlyH7836 thy faceH6440, and I have foundH4672 thee. 16I have decked my bed with tapestry coverlets of variegated linen from EgyptH4714; 17I have perfumed my couch with myrrhH4753, aloes, and cinnamonH7076. 18Come, let us revel in love until the morningH1242, let us delight ourselves with loves. 19For the husbandH376 is not at home, he is goneH1980 a long journeyH1870; 20he hath takenH3947 the money-bag with him, he will comeH935 home on the dayH3117 of the full moonH3677. 21With her much enticement she beguiled him; with the smoothness of her lipsH8193 she constrained him. 22He wentH1980 after her straightway, as an oxH7794 goeth to the slaughterH2874, and as stocks [serve] for 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 its lifeH5315. 24And nowH6258, ye sonsH1121, 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, and all slainH2026 by her were strong. 27Her houseH1004 is the wayH1870 to SheolH7585, goingH3381 downH3381 to the chambersH2315 of deathH4194.
