1890 Darby's Translation of the Holy Scriptures (DBY)
Proverbs 7
1 Solomon persuadeth to a sincere and kind familiarity with wisdom. 6 In an example of his own experience, he sheweth 10 the cunning of a whore, 22 and the desperate simplicity of a young wanton. 24 He dehorteth from such wickedness.

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

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

7:3
Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the tablet of thy heart.

7:4
Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister, and call intelligence [thy] kinswoman:

7:5
that they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger who flattereth with her words.

7:6 ¶
For at the window of my house, I looked forth through my lattice,

7:7
and I beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the sons, 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 of the day, in the blackness of night and the darkness.

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

7:11
She is clamorous and unmanageable; her feet abide not in her house:

7:12
now without, now in the broadways,and she lieth in wait at every corner.

7:13
And she caught him and kissed him, and with an impudent face said unto him,

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

7:15
therefore came I forth to meet thee, to seek earnestly thy face, and I have found thee.

7:16
I have decked my bed with tapestry coverlets of variegated linen from Egypt;

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

7:18
Come, let us revel in love until the morning, let us delight ourselves with loves.

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

7:20
he hath taken the money-bag with him, he will come home on the day of the full moon.

7:21
With her much enticement she beguiled him; with the smoothness of her lips she constrained him.

7:22
He went after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, and as stocks [serve] for the correction of the fool;

7:23
till an arrow strike through his liver: as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for its life.

7:24 ¶
And now, ye sons, hearken unto me, and attend to the words of my mouth.

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

7:26
for she hath cast down many wounded, and all slain by her were strong.

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