Proverbs
Chapter 7

1] My son, keep my words, and treasure my commands.
2] Keep my commands and live, my teaching 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!" call Understanding, "Friend!"
5] That they may keep you from another's wife, from the adulteress with her smooth words.
6] For at the window of my house, through my lattice I looked out--
7] And I saw among the simple ones, I observed among the young men, a youth with no sense,
8] Going along the street near the corner, then walking in the direction of her house--
9] In the twilight, at dusk of day, at the time of the dark of night.
10] And lo! the woman comes to meet him, robed like a harlot, with secret designs--
11] She is fickle and unruly, in her home her feet cannot rest;
12] Now she is in the streets, now in the open squares, and at every corner she lurks in ambush--
13] When she seizes him, she kisses him, and with an impudent look says to him:
14] "I owed peace offerings, and today I have fulfilled my vows;
15] I came out to meet you, to look for you, and I have found you!
16] With coverlets I have spread my couch, with brocaded cloths of Egyptian linen;
17] I have sprinkled my bed with myrrh, with aloes, and with cinnamon.
18] "Come, let us drink our fill of love, until morning, let us feast on love!
19] For my husband is not at home, he has gone on a long journey;
20] A bag of money he took with him, not till the full moon will he return home."
21] She wins him over by her repeated urging, with her smooth lips she leads him astray;
22] He follows her stupidly, like an ox that is led to slaughter; Like a stag that minces toward the net,
23] till an arrow pierces its liver; Like a bird that rushes into a snare, unaware that its life is at stake.
24] So now, O children, listen to me, be attentive to the words of my mouth!
25] Let not your heart turn to her ways, go not astray in her paths;
26] For many are those she has struck down dead, numerous, those she has slain.
27] Her house is made up of ways to the nether world, leading down into the chambers of death.
