- My son, keep my words and treasure up my commandments with you;
- 2
- keep my commandments and live; keep my teaching as the apple of your eye;
- 3
- bind them on your fingers; write them on the tablet of your heart.
- 4
- Say to wisdom, “You are my sister,” and call insight your intimate friend,
- 5
- to keep you from the forbidden woman, from the adulteress with her smooth words.
- 6
- For at the window of my house I have looked out through my lattice,
- 7
- and I have seen among the simple, I have perceived among the youths, a young man lacking sense,
- 8
- passing along the street near her corner, taking the road to her house
- 9
- in the twilight, in the evening, at the time of night and darkness.
- 10
- And behold, the woman meets him, dressed as a prostitute, wily of heart.
- 11
- She is loud and wayward; her feet do not stay at home;
- 12
- now in the street, now in the market, and at every corner she lies in wait.
- 13
- She seizes him and kisses him, and with bold face she says to him,
- 14
- “I had to offer sacrifices, and today I have paid my vows;
- 15
- so now I have come out to meet you, to seek you eagerly, and I have found you.
- 16
- I have spread my couch with coverings, colored linens from Egyptian linen;
- 17
- I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
- 18
- Come, let us take our fill of love till morning; let us delight ourselves with love.
- 19
- For my husband is not at home; he has gone on a long journey;
- 20
- he took a bag of money with him; at full moon he will come home.”
- 21
- With much seductive speech she persuades him; with her smooth talk she compels him.
- 22
- All at once he follows her, as an ox goes to the slaughter, or as a stag is caught fast
- 23
- till an arrow pierces its liver; as a bird rushes into a snare; he does not know that it will cost him his life.
- 24
- And now, O sons, listen to me, and be attentive to the words of my mouth.
- 25
- Let not your heart turn aside to her ways; do not stray into her paths,
- 26
- for many a victim has she laid low, and all her slain are a mighty throng.
- 27
- Her house is the way to Sheol, going down to the chambers of death.
