\v 1 My son, keep my words
|
||
|
|
\q and store up my commands within you.
|
||
|
|
\q
|
||
|
|
\v 2 Keep my commands and live
|
||
|
|
\q and keep my instruction as the apple of your eye.
|
||
|
|
\q
|
||
|
|
\v 3 Tie them on your fingers;
|
||
|
|
\q write them on the tablet of your heart.
|

\q
|

|
|
\v 4 Say to wisdom, "You are my sister,"
|
||
|
|
\q and call understanding your kinsman,
|
||
|
|
\q
|
||
|
|
\v 5 in order to keep you from the seductive woman,
|
||
|
|
\q from the adulteress with her smooth words.
|

|
|

\s5
|

\q
|

|
|
\v 6 At the window of my house
|
||
|
|
\q I looked out through the lattice
|
||
|
|
\q
|
||
|
|
\v 7 and I saw many young men who had not been taught.
|
||
|
|
\q I saw among the youths
|
||
|
|
\q a young man who had no sense.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\s5
|
||
|
|
\q
|
||
|
|
\v 8 That young man passed through the street near her corner
|
||
|
|
\q and he went toward her house—
|
||
|
|
\q
|
||
|
|
\v 9 it was twilight, in the evening of the day,
|
||
|
|
\q at the time of the night and darkness.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\s5
|
||
|
|
\q
|
||
|
|
\v 10 And there a woman met him,
|
||
|
|
\q dressed like a prostitute, and she knew why she was there.
|
||
|
|
\q
|
||
|
|
\v 11 She is loud and wayward,
|
||
|
|
\q her feet do not stay at home—
|
||
|
|
\q
|
||
|
|
\v 12 now in the streets, now in the market,
|
||
|
|
\q at every corner she lies in wait.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\s5
|
||
|
|
\q
|
||
|
|
\v 13 So she grabs him and kisses him,
|
||
|
|
\q with a bold face she says to him,
|
||
|
|
\q
|
||
|
|
\v 14 "I made my peace offering today,
|
||
|
|
\q I paid my vows,
|
||
|
|
\q
|
||
|
|
\v 15 so came I out to meet you,
|
||
|
|
\q to eagerly seek your face, and I have found you.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\s5
|
||
|
|
\q
|
||
|
|
\v 16 I have spread coverings on my bed,
|
||
|
|
\q colored linens from Egypt.
|
||
|
|
\q
|
||
|
|
\v 17 I have perfumed my bed
|
||
|
|
\q with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
|
||
|
|
\q
|
||
|
|
\v 18 Come, let us take our fill of love till morning;
|
||
|
|
\q let us take great pleasure in different acts of love-making.
|

\q
|

\v 19 My husband is not at home;
|
||
|
|
\q he is away on a long journey.
|
||
|
|
\q
|
||
|
|
\v 20 He took a bag of money with him;
|
||
|
|
\q he will return on the day of the full moon."
|
||
|
|
\q
|
||
|
|
\v 21 With her seductive talk she persuades him,
|
||
|
|
\q and with her smooth talk she compels him.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\s5
|
||
|
|
\q
|
||
|
|
\v 22 He walks after her
|
||
|
|
\q like an ox going to the slaughter,
|
||
|
|
\q or like a deer caught in a trap
|
||
|
|
\q
|
||
|
|
\v 23 until an arrow pierces through its liver—
|
||
|
|
\q or like bird rushing into a snare,
|
||
|
|
\q not knowing it will cost him his life.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\s5
|

|
|
\q
|
||
|
|
\v 24 And now, my sons, listen to me;
|
||
|
|
\q pay attention to what I say.
|
||
|
|
\q
|
||
|
|
\v 25 Do not let your heart turn aside to her ways;
|
||
|
|
\q do not go astray into her paths.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\s5
|
||
|
|
\q
|
||
|
|
\v 26 She has brought down many victims;
|
||
|
|
\q they cannot be counted.
|
||
|
|
\q
|
||
|
|
\v 27 Her house is on the road to sheol;
|
||
|
|
\q it goes down to the rooms of death.
