Proverbs 7 WBS — Proverbs 7

1 My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee. WBS — Proverbs 7:1

2 Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thy eye. WBS — Proverbs 7:2

3 Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thy heart. WBS — Proverbs 7:3

4 Say to wisdom, Thou art my sister; and call understanding thy kinswoman: WBS — Proverbs 7:4

5 That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger which flattereth with her words. WBS — Proverbs 7:5

6 For at the window of my house I looked through my casement, WBS — Proverbs 7:6

7 And beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding, WBS — Proverbs 7:7

8 Passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house. WBS — Proverbs 7:8

9 In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night: WBS — Proverbs 7:9

10 And behold, there met him a woman with the attire of a harlot, and subtil of heart. WBS — Proverbs 7:10

11 (She is loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house: WBS — Proverbs 7:11

12 Now is she without, now in the streets, and lieth in wait at every corner.) WBS — Proverbs 7:12

13 So she caught him, and kissed him, and with an impudent face said to him, WBS — Proverbs 7:13

14 I have peace-offerings with me; this day have I paid my vows. WBS — Proverbs 7:14

15 Therefore I came forth to meet thee, diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee. WBS — Proverbs 7:15

16 I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with carved works, with fine linen of Egypt. WBS — Proverbs 7:16

17 I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. WBS — Proverbs 7:17

18 Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning: let us solace ourselves with loves. WBS — Proverbs 7:18

19 For the good-man is not at home, he is gone a long journey: WBS — Proverbs 7:19

20 He hath taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at the day appointed. WBS — Proverbs 7:20

21 With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she impelled him. WBS — Proverbs 7:21

22 He goeth after her quickly, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks; WBS — Proverbs 7:22

23 Till a dart striketh through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life. WBS — Proverbs 7:23

24 Now therefore hearken to me, O ye children, and attend to the words of my mouth. WBS — Proverbs 7:24

25 Let not thy heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths. WBS — Proverbs 7:25

26 For she hath cast down many wounded: yes, many strong men have been slain by her. WBS — Proverbs 7:26

27 Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death. WBS — Proverbs 7:27
