| The Douay-Rheims Version Online Bible (DRV) | ||||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 7:1 | My son, keep my words, and lay up my precepts with thee. Son, | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 7:2 | Keep my commandments, and thou shalt live: and my law as the apple of thy eye: | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 7:3 | Bind it upon thy fingers, write it upon the tables of thy heart. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 7:4 | Say to wisdom: Thou art my sister: and call prudence thy friend, | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 7:5 | That she may keep thee from the woman that is not thine, and from the stranger who sweeteneth her words. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 7:6 | For I look out of the window of my house through the lattice, | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 7:7 | And I see little ones, I behold a foolish young man, | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 7:8 | Who passeth through the street by the corner, and goeth nigh the way of her house. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 7:9 | In the dark, when it grows late, in the darkness and obscurity of the night, | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 7:10 | And behold a woman meeteth him in harlot's attire prepared to deceive souls; talkative and wandering, | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 7:11 | Not bearing to be quiet, not able to abide still at home, | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 7:12 | Now abroad, now in the streets, now lying in wait near the corners. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 7:13 | And catching the young man, she kisseth him, and with an impudent face, flattereth, saying: | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 7:14 | I vowed victims for prosperity, this day I have paid my vows. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 7:15 | Therefore I am come out to meet thee, desirous to see thee, and I have found thee. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 7:16 | I have woven my bed with cords, I have covered it with painted tapestry, brought from Egypt. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 7:17 | I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 7:18 | Come, let us be inebriated with the breasts, and let us enjoy the desired embraces, till the day appear. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 7:19 | For my husband is not at home, he is gone a very long journey. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 7:20 | He took with him a bag of money: he mill return home the day of the full moon. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 7:21 | She entangled him with many words, and drew him away with the flattery of her lips. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 7:22 | Immediately he followeth her as an ox led to be a victim, and as a lamb playing the wanton, and not knowing that he is drawn like a fool to bonds, | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 7:23 | Till the arrow pierce his liver: as if a bird should make haste to the snare, and knoweth not that his life is in danger. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 7:24 | Now therefore, my son, hear me, and attend to the words of my mouth. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 7:25 | Let not thy mind be drawn away in her ways: neither be thou deceived with her paths. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 7:26 | For she hath cast down many wounded, and the strongest have been slain by her. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 7:27 | Her house is the way to hell, reaching even to the inner chambers of death. | |||||||||||||||
