Proverbs 7:1 (WEB) World English Bible

1 My son, keep my words. Lay up my commandments within you.
2 Keep my commandments and live; Guard my teaching as the apple of your eye.
3 Bind them on your fingers. Write them on the tablet of your heart.
4 Tell wisdom, "You are my sister." Call understanding your relative,
5 That they may keep you from the strange woman, From the foreigner who flatters with her words.
6 For at the window of my house, I looked out through my lattice.
7 I saw among the simple ones. I discerned among the youths a young man void of understanding,
8 Passing through the street near her corner, He went the way to her house,
9 In the twilight, in the evening of the day, In the middle of the night and in the darkness.
10 Behold, there a woman met him with the attire of a prostitute, And with crafty intent.
11 She is loud and defiant. Her feet don't stay in her house.
12 Now she is in the streets, now in the squares, And lurking at every corner.
13 So she caught him, and kissed him. With an impudent face she said to him:
14 "Sacrifices of peace-offerings are with me. This day I have paid my vows.
15 Therefore I came out to meet you, To diligently seek your face, And I have found you.
16 I have spread my couch with carpets of tapestry, With striped cloths of the yarn of Egypt.
17 I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
18 Come, let's take our fill of loving until the morning. Let's solace ourselves with loving.
19 For my husband isn't at home. He has gone on a long journey.
20 He has taken a bag of money with him. He will come home at the full moon."
21 With persuasive words, she led him astray. With the flattering of her lips, she seduced him.
22 He followed her immediately, As an ox goes to the slaughter, As a fool stepping into a noose.
23 Until an arrow strikes through his liver, As a bird hurries to the snare, And doesn't know that it will cost his life.
24 Now therefore, sons, listen to me. Pay attention to the words of my mouth.
25 Don't let your heart turn to her ways. Don't go astray in her paths,
26 For she has thrown down many wounded. Yes, all her slain are a mighty host.
27 Her house is the way to Sheol, Going down to the chambers of death.
1 My son, H1121 keep H8104 my words, H561 and lay up H6845 my commandments H4687 with H854 thee.
2 Keep H8104 my commandments, H4687 and live; H2421 and my law H8451 as the apple H380 of thine eye. H5869
3 Bind H7194 them upon H5921 thy fingers, H676 write H3789 them upon H5921 the table H3871 of thine heart. H3820
4 Say H559 unto wisdom, H2451 Thou H859 art my sister; H269 and call H7121 understanding H998 thy kinswoman: H4129
5 That they may keep H8104 thee from the strange H2114 woman H4480 H802 , from the stranger H4480 H5237 which flattereth H2505 with her words. H561
6 For H3588 at the window H2474 of my house H1004 I looked H8259 through H1157 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 of understanding, H3820
8 Passing H5674 through the street H7784 near H681 her corner; H6438 and he went H6805 the way H1870 to her house, H1004
9 In the twilight, H5399 in the evening H6153 H3117 , in the black H380 and dark H653 night: H3915
10 And, behold, H2009 there met H7125 him a woman H802 with the attire H7897 of a harlot, H2181 and subtle H5341 of heart. H3820
11 ( She H1931 is loud H1993 and stubborn; H5637 her feet H7272 abide H7931 not H3808 in her house: H1004
12 Now H6471 is she without, H2351 now H6471 in the streets, H7339 and lieth in wait H693 at H681 every H3605 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 H8002 with H5921 me ; this day H3117 have I paid H7999 my vows. H5088
15 Therefore H5921 H3651 came I forth H3318 to meet H7125 thee , diligently to seek H7836 thy face, H6440 and I have found H4672 thee.
16 I have decked H7234 my bed H6210 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 , let us take our fill H7301 of love H1730 until H5704 the morning: H1242 let us solace ourselves H5965 with loves. H159
19 For H3588 the goodman H376 is not H369 at home, H1004 he is gone H1980 a long H4480 H7350 journey: H1870
20 He hath taken H3947 a bag H6872 of money H3701 with H3027 him, and will come H935 home H1004 at the day H3117 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 after H310 her straightway, H6597 as an ox H7794 goeth H935 to H413 the slaughter, H2874 or as a fool H191 to H413 the correction H4148 of the stocks; H5914
23 Till H5704 a dart H2671 strike through H6398 his liver; H3516 as a bird H6833 hasteth H4116 to H413 the snare, H6341 and knoweth H3045 not H3808 that H3588 it H1931 is for his life. H5315
24 Hearken H8085 unto me now H6258 therefore , O ye children, H1121 and attend H7181 to the words H561 of my mouth. H6310
25 Let not H408 thine heart H3820 decline H7847 to H413 her ways, H1870 go not astray H8582 H408 in her paths. H5410
26 For H3588 she hath cast down H5307 many H7227 wounded: H2491 yea, many H3605 strong H6099 men have been slain H2026 by her.
27 Her house H1004 is the way H1870 to hell, H7585 going down H3381 to H413 the chambers H2315 of death. H4194
