Proverbs Глава 7 - King James Version
- 1
- My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee.
- 2
- Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye.
- 3
- Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thine heart.
- 4
- Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister; and call understanding thy kinswoman:
- 5
- That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger which flattereth with her words.
- 6
- For at the window of my house I looked through my casement,
- 7
- And beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding,
- 8
- Passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house,
- 9
- In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night:
- 10
- And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart.
- 11
- (She is loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house:
- 12
- Now is she without, now in the streets, and lieth in wait at every corner.)
- 13
- So she caught him, and kissed him, and with an impudent face said unto him,
- 14
- I have peace offerings with me; this day have I payed my vows.
- 15
- Therefore came I forth to meet thee, diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee.
- 16
- I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with carved works, with fine linen of Egypt.
- 17
- I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
- 18
- Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning: let us solace ourselves with loves.
- 19
- For the goodman is not at home, he is gone a long journey:
- 20
- He hath taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at the day appointed.
- 21
- With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him.
- 22
- He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks;
- 23
- Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life.
- 24
- Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend to the words of my mouth.
- 25
- Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths.
- 26
- For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her.
- 27
- Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death.
