chapter 7
My Son: commands
BIBLE TEXT BEGINS:
1
My son, keep my words, and treasure
my commands
within you.
2
Keep my commands and live, and
my law
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
understanding
your nearest kin,
REASON: to deliver you from the harlot: fortyfold description of her traffic
compare to
2:16
5
That they may keep you from the immoral woman, from
the seductress
who flatters with her words.
6
For at the window of my house I looked through my lattice,
7
And saw
among the simple, I perceived among the youths,
a young man devoid of understanding,
8
Passing along the street near her corner; and he took the path to her house
9
In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night.
10
And there a woman met him, with
the attire of a harlot,
and a crafty heart.
11
She was loud and rebellious, her feet would not stay at home.
12
At times she was outside, at times in the open square, lurking at every corner.
13
So she caught him and kissed him; with an impudent face she said to him:
14
"I have peace
offerings
with me; today
I have paid my
vows.
15
So I came out to meet you, diligently to seek your face, And I have found you.
16
I have
spread my bed with tapestry, colored coverings of Egyptian linen.
17
I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
18
Come, let us take our fill of
love
until morning; Let us delight ourselves with love.
19
For
my husband is not at home;
He has gone on a long journey;
20
He has taken a bag of money with him, And will come home on the appointed day."
21
With
her enticing speech
she caused him to yield, With her flattering lips she seduced him.
22
Immediately he went after her,
as an ox
goes to the slaughter, Or as a fool to the correction of the
stocks
,
23
Till an arrow struck his liver. As a bird hastens to the snare,
he did not know it would cost his life.
You Children: commands: evil effects of adultery
24
Now therefore, listen to me, my children; pay attention to the words of my mouth:
25
Do not let your heart turn aside to her ways,
do not stray into her paths;
26
For she has cast down many wounded, and all who were slain by her were strong men.
27
Her house
is the way to
hell
,
Descending to the chambers of death.
(NKJV)
