Proverbs Book #7


PROVERBS 7

My son, keep my words, And treasure my commands within
you.

2 Keep my commands and live, And my law as the apple
of your eye.

3 Bind them on your fingers; Write them on the tablet
of your heart.

4 Say to wisdom, "You are my sister," And call
understanding your nearest kin,

5 That they may keep you from the immoral woman, From
the seductress who flatters with her words.


“The Crafty Harlot”

6 For at the window of my house I looked through my
lattice,

7 And saw among the simple, I perceived among the
youths, A young man devoid of understanding,

8 Passing along the street near her corner; And he took
the path to her house

9 In the twilight, in the evening, In the black and
dark night.

10 And there a woman met him, With the attire of a
harlot, and a crafty heart.

11 She was loud and rebellious, Her feet would not
stay at home.

12 At times she was outside, at times in the open
square, Lurking at every corner.

13 So she caught him and kissed him; With an impudent
face she said to him:

14 "I have peace offerings with me; Today I have paid
my vows.

15 So I came out to meet you, Diligently to seek your
face, And I have found you.

16 I have spread my bed with tapestry, Colored coverings
of Egyptian linen.

17 I have perfumed my bed With myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.

18 Come, let us take our fill of love until morning; Let
us delight ourselves with love.

19 For my husband is not at home; He has gone on a long
journey;

20 He has taken a bag of money with him, And will come
home on the appointed day."

21 With her enticing speech she caused him to yield,
With her flattering lips she seduced him.

22 Immediately he went after her, as an ox goes to the
slaughter, Or as a fool to the correction of the stocks,

23 Till an arrow struck his liver. As a bird hastens to
the snare, He did not know it would cost his life.

24 Now therefore, listen to me, my children; Pay
attention to the words of my mouth:

25 Do not let your heart turn aside to her ways, Do not
stray into her paths;

26 For she has cast down many wounded, And all who were
slain by her were strong men.

27 Her house is the way to hell, Descending to the
chambers of death.

God Bless you -
