AKJV - Proverbs - 7

7:1  My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with you.

7:2  Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of your eye.

7:3  Bind them on your fingers, write them on the table of your heart.

7:4  Say to wisdom, You are my sister; and call understanding your kinswoman:

7:5  That they may keep you from the strange woman, from the stranger which flatters with her words.

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

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

7:8  Passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house,

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

7:10  And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot, and subtle of heart.

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

7:12  Now is she without, now in the streets, and lies in wait at every corner.)

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

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

7:15  Therefore came I forth to meet you, diligently to seek your face, and I have found you.

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

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

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

7:19  For the manager is not at home, he is gone a long journey:

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

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

7:22  He goes after her straightway, as an ox goes to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks;

7:23  Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hastens to the snare, and knows not that it is for his life.

7:24  Listen to me now therefore, O you children, and attend to the words of my mouth.

7:25  Let not your heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths.

7:26  For she has cast down many wounded: yes, many strong men have been slain by her.

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