1 My son H1121 NMS-1MS , keep H8104 VQI2MS my words H561 CMP-1MS , and lay up H6845 VQY2MS my commandments H4687 W-CFP-1MS with H854 PART-2FS thee .
2 Keep H8104 VQI2MS my commandments H4687 , and live H2421 ; and my law H8451 as the apple H380 of thine eye H5869 CMD-2MS .
3 Bind H7194 them upon H5921 PREP thy fingers H676 , write H3789 them upon H5921 PREP the table H3871 of thine heart H3820 CMS-2MS .
4 Say H559 unto wisdom H2451 LD-NFS , Thou H859 PPRO-2FS art my sister H269 CFS-1MS ; and call H7121 understanding H998 LD-NFS thy kinswoman H4129 :
5 That they may keep H8104 L-VQFC-2MS thee from the strange H2114 VQQ3FS woman H802 , from the stranger H5237 which flattereth H2505 with her words H561 CMP-3FS .
6 For H3588 CONJ at the window H2474 of my house H1004 CMS-1MS I looked H8259 through H1157 PREP my casement H822 ,
7 And beheld H7200 among the simple ones H6612 , I discerned H995 among the youths H1121 , a young man H5288 void H2638 JMS of understanding H3820 NMS ,
8 Passing H5674 through the street H7784 near H681 her corner H6438 ; and he went H6805 the way H1870 W-NMS to her house H1004 ,
9 In the twilight H5399 , in the evening H6153 , in the black H380 and dark H653 night H3915 GMS :
10 And , behold H2009 IJEC , there met H7125 L-VQFC-3MS him a woman H802 NFS with the attire H7897 of a harlot H2181 , and subtle H5341 of heart H3820 NMS .
11 ( PPRO-3FS She PPRO-3FS is loud H1993 and stubborn H5637 ; her feet H7272 abide H7931 not H3808 NADV in her house H1004 :
12 Now H6471 is she without H2351 BD-NMS , now H6471 in the streets H7339 BD-NFP , and lieth in wait H693 at H681 every H3605 NMS corner H6438 . )
13 So she caught H2388 him , and kissed H5401 him , and with an impudent H5810 face H6440 said H559 unto him ,
14 I have peace offerings H2077 with H5921 me ; this day H3117 D-AMS have I paid H7999 my vows H5088 .
15 Therefore H5921 PREP came I forth H3318 VQPFS-1MS to meet H7125 thee , diligently to seek H7836 thy face H6440 CMP-2MS , and I have found H4672 thee .
16 I have decked H7234 my bed H6210 CFS-1MS with coverings of tapestry H4765 , with carved H2405 works , with fine linen H330 of Egypt H4714 .
17 I have perfumed H5130 my bed H4904 with myrrh H4753 , aloes H174 , and cinnamon H7076 .
18 Come H1980 VQI2MS-3FS , let us take our fill H7301 of love H1730 until H5704 PREP the morning H1242 : let us solace ourselves H5965 with loves H159 .
19 For H3588 CONJ the goodman H376 D-NMS is not H369 NPAR at home H1004 B-CMS-3MS , he is gone H1980 VQQ3MS a long H7350 M-AMS journey H1870 B-NMS :
20 He hath taken H3947 VQQ3MS a bag H6872 of money H3701 with H3027 B-CFS-3MS him , and will come H935 VQY3MS home H1004 at the day H3117 L-NMS appointed H3677 .
21 With her much H7230 fair speech H3948 she caused him to yield H5186 , with the flattering H2506 of her lips H8193 she forced H5080 him .
22 He goeth H1980 VQPMS after H310 her straightway H6597 ADV , as an ox H7794 goeth H935 VQY3MS to H413 PREP the slaughter H2874 , or as a fool H191 to H413 PREP the correction H4148 CMS of the stocks H5914 ;
23 Till H5704 PREP a dart H2671 strike through H6398 VPY3MS his liver H3516 ; as a bird H6833 CMS hasteth H4116 to H413 PREP the snare H6341 NMS , and knoweth H3045 VQQ3MS not H3808 W-NPAR that H3588 CONJ it H1931 PPRO-3MS is for his life H5315 .
24 Hearken H8085 VQI2MP unto me now H6258 W-ADV therefore , O ye children H1121 NMP , and attend H7181 to the words H561 of my mouth H6310 CMS-1MS .
25 Let not H408 NPAR thine heart H3820 CMS-2MS decline H7847 to H413 PREP her ways H1870 , go not astray H8582 in her paths H5410 .
26 For H3588 CONJ she hath cast down H5307 many H7227 AMP wounded H2491 NMP : yea , many H3605 NMS strong H6099 men have been slain H2026 by her .
27 Her house H1004 is the way H1870 CMD-1MS to hell H7585 NMS , going down H3381 to H413 PREP the chambers H2315 of death H4194 NMS .
