pro 7:1

  My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee.

pro 7:2

  Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye.

pro 7:3

  Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thine heart.

pro 7:4

  Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister; and call understanding thy kinswoman:

pro 7:5

  That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger which flattereth with her words.

pro 7:6

  For at the window of my house I looked through my casement,

pro 7:7

  And beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding,

pro 7:8

  Passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house,

pro 7:9

  In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night:

pro 7:10

  And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart.

pro 7:11

  (She is loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house:

pro 7:12

  Now is she without, now in the streets, and lieth in wait at every corner.)

pro 7:13

  So she caught him, and kissed him, and with an impudent face said unto him,

pro 7:14

  I have peace offerings with me; this day have I payed my vows.

pro 7:15

  Therefore came I forth to meet thee, diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee.

pro 7:16

  I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with carved works, with fine linen of Egypt.

pro 7:17

  I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.

pro 7:18

  Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning: let us solace ourselves with loves.

pro 7:19

  For the goodman is not at home, he is gone a long journey:

pro 7:20

  He hath taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at the day appointed.

pro 7:21

  With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him.

pro 7:22

  He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks;

pro 7:23

  Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life.

pro 7:24

  Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend to the words of my mouth.

pro 7:25

  Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths.

pro 7:26

  For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her.

pro 7:27

  Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death.
