1898 Young's Literal Translation (YLT)Proverbs 71 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 sayings, And my commands lay up with thee. 7:2 Keep my commands, and live, And my law as the pupil of thine eye. 7:3 Bind them on thy fingers, Write them on the tablet of thy heart. 7:4 Say to wisdom, 'My sister Thou [art].' And cry to understanding, 'Kinswoman!' 7:5 To preserve thee from a strange woman, From a stranger who hath made smooth her sayings. 7:6 ¶ For, at a window of my house, Through my casement I have looked out, 7:7 And I do see among the simple ones, I discern among the sons, A young man lacking understanding, 7:8 Passing on in the street, near her corner, And the way [to] her house he doth step, 7:9 In the twilightin the evening of day, In the darkness of night and blackness. 7:10 And, lo, a woman to meet him(A harlot's dress, and watchful of heart, 7:11 Noisy she [is], and stubborn, In her house her feet rest not. 7:12 Now in an out-place, now in broad places, And near every corner she lieth in wait) 7:13 And she laid hold on him, and kissed him, She hath hardened her face, and saith to him, 7:14 'Sacrifices of peace-offerings [are] by me, To-day I have completed my vows. 7:15 Therefore I have come forth to meet thee, To seek earnestly thy face, and I find thee. 7:16 [With] ornamental coverings I decked my couch, Carved workscotton of Egypt. 7:17 I sprinkled my bedmyrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. 7:18 Come, we are filled [with] loves till the morning, We delight ourselves in loves. 7:19 For the man is not in his house, He hath gone on a long journey. 7:20 A bag of money he hath taken in his hand, At the day of the new moon he cometh to his house.' 7:21 She turneth him aside with the abundance of her speech, With the flattery of her lips she forceth him. 7:22 He is going after her straightway, As an ox unto the slaughter he cometh, And as a fetter unto the chastisement of a fool, 7:23 Till an arrow doth split his liver, As a bird hath hastened unto a snare, And hath not known that it [is] for its life. 7:24 ¶ And now, ye sons, hearken to me, And give attention to sayings of my mouth. 7:25 Let not thy heart turn unto her ways, Do not wander in her paths, 7:26 For many [are] the wounded she caused to fall, And mighty [are] all her slain ones. 7:27 The ways of Sheolher house, Going down unto inner chambers of death! |
