  • Prov 7:5-9 : 5 To preserve thee from a strange woman, From a stranger who hath made smooth her sayings. 6 For, at a window of my house, Through my casement I have looked out, 7 And I do see among the simple ones, I discern among the sons, A young man lacking understanding, 8 Passing on in the street, near her corner, And the way `to' her house he doth step, 9 In the twilight -- in the evening of day, In the darkness of night and blackness. 10 And, lo, a woman to meet him -- (A harlot's dress, and watchful of heart, 11 Noisy she `is', and stubborn, In her house her feet rest not. 12 Now in an out-place, now in broad places, And near every corner she lieth in wait) -- 13 And she laid hold on him, and kissed him, She hath hardened her face, and saith to him, 14 `Sacrifices of peace-offerings `are' by me, To-day I have completed my vows. 15 Therefore I have come forth to meet thee, To seek earnestly thy face, and I find thee. 16 `With' ornamental coverings I decked my couch, Carved works -- cotton of Egypt. 17 I sprinkled my bed -- myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. 18 Come, we are filled `with' loves till the morning, We delight ourselves in loves. 19 For the man is not in his house, He hath gone on a long journey. 20 A bag of money he hath taken in his hand, At the day of the new moon he cometh to his house.' 21 She turneth him aside with the abundance of her speech, With the flattery of her lips she forceth him. 22 He is going after her straightway, As an ox unto the slaughter he cometh, And as a fetter unto the chastisement of a fool, 23 Till an arrow doth split his liver, As a bird hath hastened unto a snare, And hath not known that it `is' for its life. 24 And now, ye sons, hearken to me, And give attention to sayings of my mouth. 25 Let not thy heart turn unto her ways, Do not wander in her paths, 26 For many `are' the wounded she caused to fall, And mighty `are' all her slain ones. 27 The ways of Sheol -- her house, Going down unto inner chambers of death!

  • Prov 5:3-9 : 3 For the lips of a strange woman drop honey, And smoother than oil `is' her mouth, 4 And her latter end `is' bitter as wormwood, Sharp as a sword `with' mouths. 5 Her feet are going down to death, Sheol do her steps take hold of. 6 The path of life -- lest thou ponder, Moved have her paths -- thou knowest not. 7 And now, ye sons, hearken to me, And turn not from sayings of my mouth. 8 Keep far from off her thy way, And come not near unto the opening of her house, 9 Lest thou give to others thy honour, And thy years to the fierce, 10 Lest strangers be filled `with' thy power, And thy labours in the house of a stranger, 11 And thou hast howled in thy latter end, In the consumption of thy flesh and thy food, 12 And hast said, `How have I hated instruction, And reproof hath my heart despised, 13 And I have not hearkened to the voice of my directors, And to my teachers have not inclined mine ear. 14 As a little thing I have been all evil, In the midst of an assembly and a company. 15 Drink waters out of thine own cistern, Even flowing ones out of thine own well. 16 Let thy fountains be scattered abroad, In broad places rivulets of waters. 17 Let them be to thee for thyself, And not to strangers with thee. 18 Let thy fountain be blessed, And rejoice because of the wife of thy youth, 19 A hind of loves, and a roe of grace! Let her loves satisfy thee at all times, In her love magnify thyself continually. 20 And why dost thou magnify thyself, My son, with a stranger? And embrace the bosom of a strange woman? 21 For over-against the eyes of Jehovah are the ways of each, And all his paths He is pondering. 22 His own iniquities do capture the wicked, And with the ropes of his sin he is holden. 23 He dieth without instruction, And in the abundance of his folly magnifieth himself!
