29 Proverbs of Solomon 7:1

29 Proverbs of Solomon 7:1-27 ¹My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee. ²Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye. ³Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thine heart. ⁴Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister; and call understanding thy kinswoman: ⁵That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger which flattereth with her words.

⁶For at the window of my house I looked through my casement, ⁷And beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding, ⁸Passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house, ⁹In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night: ¹⁰And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart. ¹¹(She is loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house: ¹²Now is she without, now in the streets, and lieth in wait at every corner.) ¹³So she caught him, and kissed him, and with an impudent face said unto him, ¹⁴I have peace offerings with me; this day have I payed my vows. ¹⁵Therefore came I forth to meet thee, diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee. ¹⁶I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with carved works, with fine linen of Egypt. ¹⁷I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. ¹⁸Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning: let us solace ourselves with loves. ¹⁹For the goodman is not at home, he is gone a long journey: ²⁰He hath taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at the day appointed. ²¹With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him. ²²He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks; ²³Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life.

²⁴Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend to the words of my mouth. ²⁵Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths. ²⁶For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her. ²⁷Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death.(KJV)

29 Proverbs of Solomon 7:1-27 ¹My son, keep my words,

And lay up my commandments with thee.

²Keep my commandments and live;

And my law as the apple of thine eye.

³Bind them upon thy fingers;

Write them upon the tablet of thy heart.

⁴Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister;

And call understanding thy kinswoman:

⁵That they may keep thee from the strange woman,

From the foreigner that flattereth with her words.

⁶For at the window of my house

I looked forth through my lattice;

⁷And I beheld among the simple ones,

I discerned among the youths,

A young man void of understanding,

⁸Passing through the street near her corner;

And he went the way to her house,

⁹In the twilight, in the evening of the day,

In the middle of the night and in the darkness.

¹⁰And, behold, there met him a woman

With the attire of a harlot, and wily of heart.

¹¹She is clamorous and wilful;

Her feet abide not in her house:

¹²Now she is in the streets, now in the broad places,

And lieth in wait at every corner.

¹³So she caught him, and kissed him,

And with an impudent face she said unto him:

¹⁴Sacrifices of peace-offerings are with me;

This day have I paid my vows.

¹⁵Therefore came I forth to meet thee,

Diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee.

¹⁶I have spread my couch with carpets of tapestry,

With striped cloths of the yarn of Egypt.

¹⁷I have perfumed my bed

With myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.

¹⁸Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning;

Let us solace ourselves with loves.

¹⁹For the man is not at home;

He is gone a long journey:

²⁰He hath taken a bag of money with him;

He will come home at the full moon.

²¹With her much fair speech she causeth him to yield;

With the flattering of her lips she forceth him along.

²²He goeth after her straightway,

As an ox goeth to the slaughter,

Or as one in fetters to the correction of the fool;

²³Till an arrow strike through his liver;

As a bird hasteth to the snare,

And knoweth not that it is for his life.

²⁴Now therefore, my sons, hearken unto me,

And attend to the words of my mouth.

²⁵Let not thy heart decline to her ways;

Go not astray in her paths.

²⁶For she hath cast down many wounded:

Yea, all her slain are a mighty host.

²⁷Her house is the way to Sheol,(ASV)

29 Proverbs of Solomon 7:1-27 ¹MY son, keep my words and hide my commandments within you. ²Keep my commandments and live, and my law as the pupil of your eye. ³Bind them about your neck; write them upon the tablets of your heart. ⁴Say to wisdom, You are my sister; and to understanding, You are my counselor ⁵That they may keep you from the strange woman, from the stranger that flatters with her words.

⁶¶ For from the window of her house and from the balcony she looked out, ⁷And she beheld young men, she spied among the youths, and those who lacked understanding, ⁸Passing through the street near the corner of her house, ⁹In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night; ¹⁰And, behold, there came out a woman with the attire of a harlot to meet one of them, a woman who fluttered the hearts of young men. ¹¹She is rebellious and gluttonous; her feet do not abide in her house; ¹²But she roams around outside, now in the streets, and now lying in wait at the corners. ¹³So she caught him and kissed him, and, with an impudent face, said to him, ¹⁴This day I have paid my vows, I have peace offerings with me; ¹⁵Therefore I came out to meet you, for I have been waiting to see you, and now I have found you. ¹⁶I have made my bed upon a carpet; I have covered it with fine linen of Egypt. ¹⁷I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. ¹⁸Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning; let us embrace each other with passion. ¹⁹For my husband is not at home, he has gone on a long journey: ²⁰He has taken a bag of money with him, and it will be a long time before he comes home. ²¹With much fair speech she misled him, with the flattering of her lips she forced him. ²²He went after her as a little child, as an ox that goes to the slaughter, and as a dog to be muzzled; ²³And as a stag whose liver is pierced with an arrow, as a bird hastens to the snare, and does not know that he goes to his death.

²⁴¶ Now therefore, O my children, hearken to me, and attend to the words of my mouth. ²⁵Let not your heart incline to her ways, do not go astray in her paths. ²⁶For she has cast down many wounded; yea, many mighty men have been slain by her. ²⁷The ways to her house are the ways to Sheol, going down to the chambers of death. (LAM)

29 Proverbs of Solomon 7:1-27 ¹My son, keep my words and treasure up my commandments with you; ²keep my commandments and live, keep my teachings as the apple of your eye; ³bind them on your fingers, write them on the tablet of your heart. ⁴Say to wisdom, "You are my sister," and call insight your intimate friend; ⁵to preserve you from the loose woman, from the adventuress with her smooth words. ⁶For at the window of my house I have looked out through my lattice, ⁷and I have seen among the simple, I have perceived among the youths, a young man without sense, ⁸passing along the street near her corner, taking the road to her house ⁹in the twilight, in the evening, at the time of night and darkness. ¹⁰And lo, a woman meets him, dressed as a harlot, wily of heart. ¹¹She is loud and wayward, her feet do not stay at home; ¹²now in the street, now in the market, and at every corner she lies in wait. ¹³She seizes him and kisses him, and with impudent face she says to him: ¹⁴"I had to offer sacrifices, and today I have paid my vows; ¹⁵so now I have come out to meet you, to seek you eagerly, and I have found you. ¹⁶I have decked my couch with coverings, colored spreads of Egyptian linen; ¹⁷I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. ¹⁸Come, let us take our fill of love till morning; let us delight ourselves with love. ¹⁹For my husband is not at home; he has gone on a long journey; ²⁰he took a bag of money with him; at full moon he will come home." ²¹With much seductive speech she persuades him; with her smooth talk she compels him. ²²All at once he follows her, as an ox goes to the slaughter, or as a stag is caught fast ²³till an arrow pierces its entrails; as a bird rushes into a snare; he does not know that it will cost him his life. ²⁴And now, O sons, listen to me, and be attentive to the words of my mouth. ²⁵Let not your heart turn aside to her ways, do not stray into her paths; ²⁶for many a victim has she laid low; yea, all her slain are a mighty host. ²⁷Her house is the way to Sheol, going down to the chambers of death. (RSV)

29 Proverbs of Solomon 7:1-27 ¹My son, keep my words and store up my commands within you. ²Keep my commands and you will live; guard my teachings as the apple of your eye. ³Bind them on your fingers; write them on the tablet of your heart. ⁴Say to wisdom, "You are my sister," and call understanding your kinsman; ⁵they will keep you from the adulteress, from the wayward wife with her seductive words. ⁶At the window of my house I looked out through the lattice. ⁷I saw among the simple, I noticed among the young men, a youth who lacked judgment. ⁸He was going down the street near her corner, walking along in the direction of her house ⁹at twilight, as the day was fading, as the dark of night set in. ¹⁰Then out came a woman to meet him, dressed like a prostitute and with crafty intent. ¹¹(She is loud and defiant, her feet never stay at home; ¹²now in the street, now in the squares, at every corner she lurks.) ¹³She took hold of him and kissed him and with a brazen face she said: ¹⁴"I have fellowship offerings at home; today I fulfilled my vows. ¹⁵So I came out to meet you; I looked for you and have found you! ¹⁶I have covered my bed with colored linens from Egypt. ¹⁷I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes and cinnamon. ¹⁸Come, let's drink deep of love till morning; let's enjoy ourselves with love! ¹⁹My husband is not at home; he has gone on a long journey. ²⁰He took his purse filled with money and will not be home till full moon." ²¹With persuasive words she led him astray; she seduced him with her smooth talk. ²²All at once he followed her like an ox going to the slaughter, like a deer stepping into a noose ²³till an arrow pierces his liver, like a bird darting into a snare, little knowing it will cost him his life. ²⁴Now then, my sons, listen to me; pay attention to what I say. ²⁵Do not let your heart turn to her ways or stray into her paths. ²⁶Many are the victims she has brought down; her slain are a mighty throng. ²⁷Her house is a highway to the grave, leading down to the chambers of death.(NIV)

29 Proverbs of Solomon 7:1-27 ¹My son, keep my words.
Lay up my commandments within you.

²Keep my commandments and live;
Guard my teaching as the apple of your eye.

³Bind them on your fingers.
Write them on the tablet of your heart.

⁴Tell wisdom, 'You are my sister.'
Call understanding your relative,

⁵That they may keep you from the strange woman,
From the foreigner who flatters with her words.

⁶For at the window of my house,
I looked out through my lattice.

⁷I saw among the simple ones.
I discerned among the youths a young man void of understanding,

⁸Passing through the street near her corner,
He went the way to her house,

⁹In the twilight, in the evening of the day,
In the middle of the night and in the darkness.

¹⁰Behold, there a woman met him with the attire of a prostitute,
And with crafty intent.

¹¹She is loud and defiant.
Her feet don't stay in her house.

¹²Now she is in the streets, now in the squares,
And lurking at every corner.

¹³So 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.

¹⁵Therefore I came out to meet you,
To diligently seek your face,
And I have found you.

¹⁶I have spread my couch with carpets of tapestry,
With striped cloths of the yarn of Egypt.

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

¹⁸Come, let's take our fill of loving until the morning.
Let's solace ourselves with loving.

¹⁹For my husband isn't at home.
He has gone on a long journey.

²⁰He has taken a bag of money with him.
He will come home at the full moon.'

²¹With persuasive words, she led him astray.
With the flattering of her lips, she seduced him.

²²He followed her immediately,
As an ox goes to the slaughter,
As a fool stepping into a noose.

²³Until an arrow strikes through his liver,
As a bird hurries to the snare,
And doesn't know that it will cost his life.

²⁴Now therefore, sons, listen to me.
Pay attention to the words of my mouth.

²⁵Don't let your heart turn to her ways.
Don't go astray in her paths,

²⁶For she has thrown down many wounded.
Yes, all her slain are a mighty army.

²⁷Her house is the way to Sheol,
Going down to the chambers of death.(WEB)
