Pearls of Wisdom-Proverbs 2-7-15

Proverbs 7 New International Version (NIV)

Warning Against the Adulterous Woman


7 My son, keep my words
and store up my commands within you.

2
Keep my commands and you will live;
guard my teachings 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 to insight, “You are my relative.”

5
They will keep you from the adulterous woman,
from the wayward woman with her seductive words.



6
At the window of my house
I looked down through the lattice.

7
I saw among the simple,
I noticed among the young men,
a youth who had no sense.

8
He was going down the street near her corner,
walking along in the direction of her house

9
at twilight, as the day was fading,
as the dark of night set in.



10
Then out came a woman to meet him,
dressed like a prostitute and with crafty intent.

11
(She is unruly and defiant,
her feet never stay at home;

12
now in the street, now in the squares,
at every corner she lurks.)

13
She took hold of him and kissed him
and with a brazen face she said:



14
“Today I fulfilled my vows,
and I have food from my fellowship offering at home.

15
So I came out to meet you;
I looked for you and have found you!

16
I have covered my bed
with colored linens from Egypt.

17
I have perfumed my bed
with myrrh, aloes and cinnamon.

18
Come, let’s drink deeply of love till morning;
let’s enjoy ourselves with love!

19
My husband is not at home;
he has gone on a long journey.

20
He took his purse filled with money
and will not be home till full moon.”



21
With persuasive words she led him astray;
she seduced him with her smooth talk.

22
All at once he followed her
like an ox going to the slaughter,
like a deer stepping into a noose

23
till an arrow pierces his liver,
like a bird darting into a snare,
little knowing it will cost him his life.



24
Now then, my sons, listen to me;
pay attention to what I say.

25
Do not let your heart turn to her ways
or stray into her paths.

26
Many are the victims she has brought down;
her slain are a mighty throng.

27
Her house is a highway to the grave,
leading down to the chambers of death.
