Verse
Proverbs - ch 7 v 1 - 20
- My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee.
- Keep my commandments, and live; and my teaching, as the apple of thine eye.
- Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the tablet of thy heart.
- Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister, and call intelligence thy kinswoman:
- that they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger who flattereth with her words.
- For at the window of my house, I looked forth through my lattice,
- and I beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the sons, a young man void of understanding,
- passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house,
- in the twilight, in the evening of the day, in the blackness of night and the darkness.
- And behold, there met him a woman in the attire of a harlot, and subtle of heart.
- She is clamorous and unmanageable; her feet abide not in her house:
- now without, now in the broadways, -- and she lieth in wait at every corner.
- And she caught him and kissed him, and with an impudent face said unto him,
- I have peace-offerings with me; this day have I paid my vows:
- therefore came I forth to meet thee, to seek earnestly thy face, and I have found thee.
- I have decked my bed with tapestry coverlets of variegated linen from Egypt;
- I have perfumed my couch with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
- Come, let us revel in love until the morning, let us delight ourselves with loves.
- For the husband is not at home, he is gone a long journey;
- he hath taken the money-bag with him, he will come home on the day of the full moon.
