1My son , keep my words.
Lay up my commandments within you .
2Keep my commandments and live !
Guard my teaching as the apple of your eye .
3Bind them on your fingers.
Write them on the tablet of your heart .
4Tell wisdom , “You are my sister.”
Call understanding your relative,
5that they may keep you from the strange woman ,
from the foreigner who flatters with her words.
6For at the window of my house ,
I looked out through my lattice.
7I saw amongst the simple ones .
I discerned amongst the youths a young man void of understanding ,
8passing through the street near her corner ,
he went the way to her house ,
9in the twilight , in the evening of the day ,
in the middle of the night and in the darkness.
10Behold , there a woman met him with the attire of a prostitute ,
and with crafty intent.
11She is loud and defiant.
Her feet don’t stay in her house .
12Now she is in the streets , now in the squares ,
and lurking at every corner .
13So she caught him , and kissed him .
With an impudent face she said to him :
14“Sacrifices of peace offerings are with me .
Today I have paid my vows .
15Therefore I came out to meet you ,
to diligently seek your face ,
and I have found you .
16I have spread my couch with carpets of tapestry ,
with striped cloths of the yarn of Egypt .
17I have perfumed my bed with myrrh , aloes, and cinnamon .
18Come , let ’s take our fill of loving until the morning .
Let ’s solace ourselves with loving.
19For my husband isn’t at home .
He has gone on a long journey .
20He has taken a bag of money with him .
He will come home at the full moon .”
21With persuasive words , she led him astray .
With the flattering of her lips , she seduced him .
22He followed her immediately ,
as an ox goes to the slaughter ,
as a fool stepping into a noose.
23Until an arrow strikes through his liver ,
as a bird hurries to the snare ,
and doesn’t know that it will cost his life .
24Now therefore , sons , listen to me .
Pay attention to the words of my mouth .
25Don’t let your heart turn to her ways .
Don’t go astray in her paths ,
26for she has thrown down many wounded .
Yes , all her slain are a mighty army.
27Her house is the way to Sheol ,[#7:27 Sheol is the place of the dead.]
going down to the rooms of death .
