  • Prov 7:5-9 : 5 That they may keep you from the strange woman, from the stranger who flatters with her words. 6 For at the window of my house I looked through my lattice, 7 And saw among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man lacking 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 it happened, there met him a woman with the attire of a harlot, and subtle of heart. 11 She is loud and stubborn; her feet do not stay at home: 12 Sometimes she is outside, now in the streets, and lies in wait at every corner. 13 So she caught him and kissed him, and with an impudent face 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 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 delight ourselves with love. 19 For the man 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 at the appointed day. 21 With her much fair speech she caused him to yield; with the flattering of her lips she prevailed over him. 22 He goes after her immediately, as an ox goes to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks; 23 Until a dart strikes through his liver; as a bird hastes to the snare, and does not know that it is for his life. 24 Therefore listen to me now, O children, and attend to the words of my mouth. 25 Let not your heart incline to her ways, do not stray in her paths. 26 For she has cast down many wounded; indeed, many strong men have been slain by her. 27 Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death.
