| The Book of Proverbs 7 | ||||||||||||||||
| The World English Online Bible (WLD) | ||||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 7:1 | My son, keep my words. Lay up my commandments within you. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 7:2 | Keep my commandments and live; Guard my teaching as the apple of your eye. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 7:3 | Bind them on your fingers. Write them on the tablet of your heart. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 7:4 | Tell wisdom, "You are my sister." Call understanding your relative, | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 7:5 | That they may keep you from the strange woman, From the foreigner who flatters with her words. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 7:6 | For at the window of my house, I looked forth through my lattice. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 7:7 | I saw among the simple ones. I discerned among the youths a young man void of understanding, | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 7:8 | Passing through the street near her corner, He went the way to her house, | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 7:9 | In the twilight, in the evening of the day, In the middle of the night and in the darkness. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 7:10 | Behold, there a woman met him with the attire of a prostitute, And with crafty intent. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 7:11 | She is loud and defiant. Her feet don't stay in her house. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 7:12 | Now she is in the streets, now in the squares, And lurking at every corner. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 7:13 | So she caught him, and kissed him. With an impudent face she said to him: | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 7:14 | "Sacrifices of peace-offerings are with me. This day I have paid my vows. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 7:15 | Therefore I came out to meet you, To diligently seek your face, And I have found you. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 7:16 | I have spread my couch with carpets of tapestry, With striped cloths of the yarn of Egypt. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 7:17 | I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 7:18 | Come, let's take our fill of loving until the morning. Let's solace ourselves with loving. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 7:19 | For my husband isn't at home. He has gone on a long journey. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 7:20 | He has taken a bag of money with him. He will come home at the full moon." | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 7:21 | With persuasive words, she led him astray. With the flattering of her lips, she seduced him. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 7:22 | He followed her immediately, As an ox goes to the slaughter, As a fool stepping into a noose. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 7:23 | Until an arrow strikes through his liver, As a bird hurries to the snare, And doesn't know that it will cost his life. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 7:24 | Now therefore, sons, listen to me. Pay attention to the words of my mouth. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 7:25 | Don't let your heart turn to her ways. Don't go astray in her paths, | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 7:26 | For she has thrown down many wounded. Yes, all her slain are a mighty host. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 7:27 | Her house is the way to Sheol, Going down to the chambers of death. | |||||||||||||||
