  7:1 ¶
[My] son, keep my words, and hide with thee my commandments. [My] son, honour the Lord, and thou shalt be strong; and fear none but him: |
|
7:1 ¶
My son,°
keep°°
my words,°
and lay up°°
my commandments°
with°
thee. |
|
7:2
keep my commandments, and thou shalt live; and [keep] my words as the pupils of [thine] eyes. |
|
7:2
Keep°°
my commandments,°
and live;°°
and my law°
as the apple°
of thine eye.° |
|
7:3
And bind them on thy fingers, and write [them] on the table of thine heart. |
|
7:3
Bind°°
them upon°
thy fingers,°
write°°
them upon°
the table°
of thine heart.° |
|
7:4
Say that wisdom is thy sister, and gain prudence as an acquaintance for thyself; |
|
7:4
Say°°
unto wisdom,°
Thou°
[art] my sister;°
and call°°
understanding°
[thy] kinswoman:° |
|
7:5
that she may keep thee from the strange and wicked woman, if she should assail thee with flattering words. |
|
7:5
That they may keep°°
thee from the strange°°
woman,°°
from the stranger°°
[which] flattereth°°
with her words.° |
|
7:6 ¶
For she looks from a window out of her house into the streets, at one whom she may see of the senseless ones, a young man void of understanding, |
|
7:6 ¶
For°
at the window°
of my house°
I looked°°
through°
my casement,° |
|
7:7
passing by the corner in the passages near her house, |
|
7:7
And beheld°°
among the simple ones,°
I discerned°°
among the youths,°
a young man°
void°
of understanding,° |
|
7:8
and speaking, in the dark of the evening, |
|
7:8
Passing°
through°°
the street°
near°
her corner;°°
and he went°°
the way°
to her house,° |
|
7:9
when there happens [to be] the stillness of night and of darkness: |
|
7:9
In the twilight,°
in the evening,°°
in the black°
and dark°
night:° |
|
7:10
and the woman meets him having the appearance of a harlot, that causes the hearts of young men to flutter. |
|
7:10
And, behold,°
there met°°
him a woman°
[with] the attire°
of an harlot,°°
and subtil°°
of heart.° |
|
7:11
And she is fickle, and debauched, and her feet abide not at home. |
|
7:11
(She°
[is] loud°°
and stubborn;°°
her feet°
abide°°
not°
in her house:° |
|
7:12
For at one time she wanders without, and at [another] time she lies in wait in the streets, at every corner. |
|
7:12
Now°
[is she] without,°
now°
in the streets,°
and lieth in wait°°
at°
every°
corner.)° |
|
7:13
Then she caught him, and kissed him, and with an impudent face said to him, |
|
7:13
So she caught°°
him, and kissed°°
him, [and] with an impudent°°
face°
said°°
unto him, |
|
7:14
I have a peace-offering; today I pay my vows: |
|
7:14
[I have] peace°
offerings°°
with°
me; this day°
have I payed°°
my vows.° |
|
7:15
therefore I came forth to meet thee, desiring thy face; [and] I have found thee. |
|
7:15
Therefore°°
came I forth°°
to meet°°
thee, diligently to seek°°
thy face,°
and I have found°°
thee. |
|
7:16
I have spread my bed with sheets, and I have covered it with double tapestry from Mizraim{gr.Egypt}. |
|
7:16
I have decked°°
my bed°
with coverings°
of tapestry,°
with carved°
[works], with fine linen°
of Egypt.° |
|
7:17
I have sprinkled my couch with saffron, and my house with cinnamon. |
|
7:17
I have perfumed°°
my bed°
with myrrh,°
aloes,°
and cinnamon.° |
|
7:18
Come, and let us enjoy love until the morning; come, and let us embrace in love. |
|
7:18
Come,°°°
let us take our fill°°
of love°
until°
the morning:°
let us solace°°
ourselves°
with loves.° |
|
7:19
For my husband is not at home, but is gone on a long journey, |
|
7:19
For°
the goodman°
[is] not°
at home,°
he is gone°°
a long°°
journey:° |
|
7:20
having taken in his hand a bundle of money: after many days he will return to his house. |
|
7:20
He hath taken°°
a bag°
of money°
with°
him,°
[and] will come°°
home°
at the day°
appointed.° |
|
7:21
So with much converse she prevailed on him to go astray, and with the snares of her lips forced him from [the right path]. |
|
7:21
With her much°
fair speech°
she caused him to yield,°°
with the flattering°
of her lips°
she forced°°
him. |
|
7:22
And he followed her, being gently led on, and [that] as an ox is led to the slaughter, and as a dog to bonds, or as a hart shot in the liver with an arrow: |
|
7:22
He goeth°°
after°
her straightway,°
as an ox°
goeth°°
to°
the slaughter,°
or as a fool°
to°
the correction°
of the stocks;° |
|
7:23
and he hastens as a bird into a snare, not knowing that he is running for [his] life. |
|
7:23
Till°
a dart°
strike°°
through°
his liver;°
as a bird°
hasteth°°
to°
the snare,°
and knoweth°°
not°
that°
it°
[is] for his life.° |
|
7:24 ¶
Now then, [my] son, hearken to me, and attend to the words of my mouth. |
|
7:24 ¶
Hearken°°
unto me now°
therefore, O ye children,°
and attend°°
to the words°
of my mouth.° |
|
7:25
Let not thine heart turn aside to her ways: |
|
7:25
Let not°
thine heart°
decline°°
to°
her ways,°
go not astray°°°
in her paths.° |
|
7:26
for she has wounded and cast down many, and those whom she has slain are innumerable. |
|
7:26
For°
she hath cast down°°
many°
wounded:°
yea, many°
strong°
[men] have been slain°°
by her. |
|
7:27
Her house is the way of hell, leading down to the chambers of death. |
|
7:27
Her house°
[is] the way°
to hell,°
going down°°
to°
the chambers°
of death.° |
