Proverbs 7

1 ♥ 📝 M y son,^H1121 keep^H8104 my words,^H561 And lay up^H6845 my commandments^H4687 with 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 thy fingers;^H676 Write^H3789 them upon the tablet^H3871 of thy heart.^H3820

4 ♥ 📝 Say^H559 unto wisdom,^H2451 Thou art my sister;^H269 And call^H7121 understanding^H998 [thy] kinswoman:^H4129

5 ♥ 📝 That they may keep^H8104 thee from the strange^H2114 woman,^H802 From the foreigner^H5237 that flattereth^H2505 with her words.^H561

6 ♥ 📝 For at the window^H2474 of my house^H1004 I looked^H8259 forth through my lattice;^H822

7 ♥ 📝 And I 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 through^H5674 the street^H7784 near^H681 her corner;^H6434 And he went^H6805 the way^H1870 to her house,^H1004

9 ♥ 📝 In the twilight,^H5399 in the evening^H3117 of the day, In the middle^H380 of the night^H3915 and in the darkness.^H653

10 ♥ 📝 And, behold, there met^H7125 him a woman^H802 With the attire^H7897 of a harlot,^H2181 and wily^H5341 of heart.^H3820

11 ♥ 📝 (She is clamorous^H1993 and wilful;^H5637 Her feet^H7272 abide^H7931 not in her house:^H1004

12 ♥ 📝 Now^H6471 she is in the streets,^H7339 now^H6471 in the broad^H7339 places, And lieth in wait^H693 at^H681 every corner.)^H6438

13 ♥ 📝 So she caught^H2388 him, and kissed^H5401 him, [And] with an impudent^H5810 face^H6440 she said^H559 unto him:

14 ♥ 📝 Sacrifices^H8002 of peace-offerings^H2077 are with me; This day^H3117 have I paid^H7999 my vows.^H5088

15 ♥ 📝 Therefore came I forth^H3318 to meet^H7125 thee, Diligently to seek^H7836 thy face,^H6440 and I have found^H4672 thee.

16 ♥ 📝 I have spread^H7234 my couch^H6210 with carpets^H4765 of tapestry, With striped^H2405 cloths of the yarn^H330 of Egypt.^H4714

17 ♥ 📝 I have perfumed^H5130 my bed^H4904 With myrrh,^H4753 aloes,^H174 and cinnamon.^H7076

18 ♥ 📝 Come,^H3212 let us take our fill^H7301 of love^H1730 until the morning;^H1242 Let us solace^H5965 ourselves with loves.^H159

19 ♥ 📝 For the man^H376 is not at home;^H1004 He is gone^H1980 a long^H7350 journey:^H1870

20 ♥ 📝 He hath taken^H3947 a bag^H6872 of money^H3701 with him;^H3027 He will come^H935 home^H1004 at the full^H3117 moon.^H3677

21 ♥ 📝 With her much^H7230 fair speech^H3948 she causeth him to yield;^H5186 With the flattering^H2506 of her lips^H8193 she forceth^H5080 him along.

22 ♥ 📝 He goeth^H1980 after^H310 her straightway,^H6597 As an ox^H7794 goeth^H935 to the slaughter,^H2874 Or as [one in] fetters^H5914 to the correction^H4148 of the fool;^H191

23 ♥ 📝 Till an arrow^H2671 strike^H6398 through his liver;^H3516 As a bird^H6833 hasteth^H4116 to the snare,^H6341 And knoweth^H3045 not that it is for his life.^H5315

24 ♥ 📝 Now therefore, [my] sons,^H1121 hearken^H8085 unto me, And attend^H7181 to the words^H561 of my mouth.^H6310

25 ♥ 📝 Let not thy heart^H3820 decline^H7847 to her ways;^H1870 Go not astray^H8582 in her paths.^H5410

26 ♥ 📝 For she hath cast down^H5307 many^H7227 wounded:^H2491 Yea, all her slain^H2026 are a mighty^H6099 host.

27 ♥ 📝 Her house^H1004 is the way^H1870 to Sheol,^H7585 Going down^H3381 to the chambers^H2315 of death.^H4194
