Pro_07_01 My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee. ~

Pro_07_02 Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye. ~

Pro_07_03 Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thine heart. ~

Pro_07_04 Say unto wisdom, Thou [art] my sister; and call understanding [thy] kinswoman: ~

Pro_07_05 That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger [which] flattereth with her words. ~

Pro_07_06 For at the window of my house I looked through my casement, ~

Pro_07_07 And beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding, ~

Pro_07_08 Passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house, ~

Pro_07_09 In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night: ~

Pro_07_10 And, behold, there met him a woman [with] the attire of an harlot, and subtle of heart. ~

Pro_07_11 [She [is] loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house: ~

Pro_07_12 Now [is she] without, now in the streets, and lieth in wait at every corner.] ~

Pro_07_13 So she caught him, and kissed him, [and] with an impudent face said unto him, ~

Pro_07_14 [I have] peace offerings with me; this day have I payed my vows. ~

Pro_07_15 Therefore came I forth to meet thee, diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee. ~

Pro_07_16 I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with carved [works], with fine linen of Egypt. ~

Pro_07_17 I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. ~

Pro_07_18 Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning: let us solace ourselves with loves. ~

Pro_07_19 For the goodman [is] not at home, he is gone a long journey: ~

Pro_07_20 He hath taken a bag of money with him, [and] will come home at the day appointed. ~

Pro_07_21 With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him. ~

Pro_07_22 He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks; ~

Pro_07_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_07_24 Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend to the words of my mouth. ~

Pro_07_25 Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths. ~

Pro_07_26 For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong [men] have been slain by her. ~

Pro_07_27 Her house [is] the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death. ~
