Proverbs 7 — ENGLXXUP

7 Verse 1 My son, keep my words, ^{Verse 2} Keep my commandments, and thou shalt live; ^{Verse 3} And bind them on thy fingers, ^{Verse 4} Say that wisdom is thy sister, ^{Verse 5} That she may keep thee from the strange and wicked woman, ^{Verse 6} For she looks from a window out of her house into the streets, ^{Verse 7} Passing by the corner in the passages near her house, ^{Verse 8} And speaking, in the dark of the evening, ^{Verse 9} When there happens to be the stillness of night and of darkness: ^{Verse 10} And the woman meets him having the appearance of a harlot, ^{Verse 11} And she is fickle, and debauched, ^{Verse 12} For at one time she wanders without, ^{Verse 13} Then she caught him, and kissed him, ^{Verse 14} I have a peace offering; ^{Verse 15} Therefore I came forth to meet thee, desiring thy face; ^{Verse 16} I have spread my bed with sheets, ^{Verse 17} I have sprinkled my couch with saffron, ^{Verse 18} Come, and let us enjoy love until the morning; ^{Verse 19} For my husband is not at home, ^{Verse 20} Having taken in his hand a bundle of money: ^{Verse 21} So with much converse she prevailed on him to go astray, ^{Verse 22} And he followed her, being gently led on, ^{Verse 23} And he hastens as a bird into a snare, ^{Verse 24} Now then, my son, hearken to me, ^{Verse 25} Let not thy heart turn aside to her ways: ^{Verse 26} For she has wounded and cast down many, ^{Verse 27} Her house is the way of hell,
