7:1 My
sonne,
keepe
my
words,
and
lay
vp
my
commaundements
with
thee.
7:2 Keepe
my
commandements,
and
liue:
and
my
law
as
the
apple
of
thine
eye.
7:3 Bind
them
vpon
thy
fingers,
write
them
vpon
the
table
of
thine
heart.
7:4 Say
vnto
Wisedome,
Thou
art
my
sister,
and
call
Understanding
thy
kinse
woman,
7:5 That
they
may
keepe
thee
from
the
strange
woman,
from
the
stranger
which
flattereth
with
her
words.
7:6 For
at
the
windowe
of
my
house
I
looked
through
my
casement,
7:7 And
behelde
among
the
simple
ones,
I
discerned
among
the
youths,
a
yong
man
void
of
vnderstanding,
7:8 Passing
through
the
streete
neere
her
corner,
and
he
went
the
way
to
her
house,
7:9 In
the
twilight
in
the
euening,
in
the
blacke
and
darke
night:
7:10 And
behold,
there
met
him
a
woman,
with
the
attire
of
an
harlot,
and
subtill
of
heart.
7:11 (She
is
loud
and
stubburne,
her
feet
abide
not
in
her
house:
7:12 Now
is
shee
without,
now
in
the
streetes,
and
lieth
in
waite
at
euery
corner.)
7:13 So
she
caught
him,
and
kissed
him,
and
with
an
impudent
face,
said
vnto
him,
7:14 I
haue
peace
offerings
with
me:
this
day
haue
I
paid
my
vowes.
7:15 Therefore
came
I
forth
to
meete
thee,
diligently
to
seeke
thy
face,
and
I
haue
found
thee.
7:16 I
haue
deckt
my
bed
with
couerings
of
tapestrie,
with
carued
workes,
with
fine
linnen
of
Egypt.
7:17 I
haue
perfumed
my
bed
with
myrrhe,
aloes,
and
cynamom.
7:18 Come,
let
vs
take
our
fill
of
loue
vntill
the
morning,
let
vs
solace
our
selues
with
loues.
7:19 For
the
good-man
is
not
at
home,
he
is
gone
a
long
iourney.
7:20 He
hath
taken
a
bag
of
money
with
him,
and
will
come
home
at
the
day
appointed.
7:21 With
much
faire
speech
she
caused
him
to
yeeld,
with
the
flattering
of
her
lips
she
forced
him.
7:22 He
goeth
after
her
straightway,
as
an
oxe
goeth
to
the
slaughter,
or
as
a
foole
to
the
correction
of
the
stocks,
7:23 Til
a
dart
strike
through
his
liuer,
as
a
bird
hasteth
to
the
snare,
and
knoweth
not
that
it
is
for
his
life.
7:24 Hearken
vnto
me
now
therefore,
O
ye
children,
and
attend
to
the
words
of
my
mouth.
7:25 Let
not
thine
heart
decline
to
her
wayes,
goe
not
astray
in
her
paths.
7:26 For
shee
hath
cast
downe
many
wounded:
yea
many
strong
men
haue
bene
slaine
by
her.
7:27 Her
house
is
the
way
to
hell,
going
downe
to
the
chambers
of
death.
