20_PRO_07_01 my son , keep my words , And lay up my commandments with thee .
20_PRO_07_02 keep my commandments , And live ; And my law as the apple of thine eye .
20_PRO_07_03 bind them upon thy fingers , write them upon the table of thine heart .
20_PRO_07_04 say unto wisdom , thou [ art ] my sister ; And call understanding [ thy ] kinswoman :
20_PRO_07_05 that they may keep thee from the strange woman , from the stranger [ which ] flattereth with her words .
20_PRO_07_06 for at the window of my house I looked through my casement ,
20_PRO_07_07 And beheld among the simple ones , I discerned among the youths , A young man void of understanding ,
20_PRO_07_08 passing through the street near her corner ; And he went the way to her house ,
20_PRO_07_09 in the twilight , in the evening , in the black And dark night :
20_PRO_07_10 And , behold , there met him A woman [ with ] the attire of an harlot , And subtle of heart .
20_PRO_07_11 [ she [ Is ] loud And stubborn ; her feet abide not in her house :
20_PRO_07_12 now [ Is she ] without , now in the streets , And lieth in wait at every corner . ]
20_PRO_07_13 So she caught him , And kissed him , [ And ] with an impudent face said unto him ,
20_PRO_07_14 [ I have ] peace offerings with me ; this day have I payed my vows .
20_PRO_07_15 therefore came I forth to meet thee , diligently to seek thy face , And I have found thee .
20_PRO_07_16 I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry , with carved [ works ] , with fine linen of Egypt .
20_PRO_07_17 I have perfumed my bed with myrrh , aloes , And cinnamon .
20_PRO_07_18 come , let us take our fill of love until the morning : let us solace ourselves with loves .
20_PRO_07_19 for the goodman [ Is ] not at home , he Is gone A long journey :
20_PRO_07_20 he hath taken A bag of money with him , [ And ] will come home at the day appointed .
20_PRO_07_21 with her much fair speech she caused him to yield , with the flattering of her lips she forced him .
20_PRO_07_22 he goeth after her straightway , as an ox goeth to the slaughter , or as A fool to the correction of the stocks ;
20_PRO_07_23 till A dart strike through his liver ; as A bird hasteth to the snare , And knoweth not that it [ Is ] for his life .
20_PRO_07_24 hearken unto me now therefore , O ye children , And attend to the words of my mouth .
20_PRO_07_25 let not thine heart decline to her ways , go not astray in her paths .
20_PRO_07_26 for she hath cast down Many wounded : yea , Many strong [ men ] have been slain by her .
20_PRO_07_27 her house [ Is ] the way to hell , going down to the chambers of death .
