My sonH1121, keepH8104 my wordsH561, and lay upH6845 my commandmentsH4687 with thee.
KeepH8104 my commandmentsH4687, and liveH2421; and my lawH8451 as the appleH380 of thine eyeH5869.
BindH7194 them upon thy fingersH676, writeH3789 them upon the tableH3871 of thine heartH3820.
SayH559 unto wisdomH2451, Thou art my sisterH269; and callH7121 understandingH998 thy kinswomanH4129:
That they may keepH8104 thee from the strangeH2114 womanH802, from the strangerH5237 which flatterethH2505 with her wordsH561.
For at the windowH2474 of my houseH1004 I lookedH8259 through my casementH822,
And beheldH7200 among the simple onesH6612, I discernedH995 among the youthsH1121, a young manH5288 voidH2638 of understandingH3820, {the youths: Heb. the sons}
Passing throughH5674 the streetH7784 nearH681 her cornerH6434; and he wentH6805 the wayH1870 to her houseH1004,
In the twilightH5399, in the eveningH3117+H6153, in the blackH380 and darkH653 nightH3915: {in the evening: Heb. in the evening of day}
And, behold, there metH7125 him a womanH802 with the attireH7897 of an harlotH2181, and subtilH5341 of heartH3820.
(She is loudH1993 and stubbornH5637; her feetH7272 abideH7931 not in her houseH1004:
NowH6471 is she withoutH2351, nowH6471 in the streetsH7339, and lieth in waitH693 atH681 every cornerH6438.)
So she caughtH2388 him, and kissedH5401 him, and with an impudentH5810 faceH6440 saidH559 unto him, {with…: Heb. she strengthened her face and said}
I have peaceH8002 offeringsH2077 with me; this dayH3117 have I payedH7999 my vowsH5088. {I have…: Heb. Peace offerings are upon me}
Therefore came I forthH3318 to meetH7125 thee, diligently to seekH7836 thy faceH6440, and I have foundH4672 thee.
I have deckedH7234 my bedH6210 with coveringsH4765 of tapestry, with carvedH2405 works, with fine linenH330 of EgyptH4714.
I have perfumedH5130 my bedH4904 with myrrhH4753, aloesH174, and cinnamonH7076.
ComeH3212, let us take our fillH7301 of loveH1730 until the morningH1242: let us solaceH5965 ourselves with lovesH159.
For the goodmanH376 is not at homeH1004, he is goneH1980 a longH7350 journeyH1870:
He hath takenH3947 a bagH6872 of moneyH3701 with himH3027, and will comeH935 homeH1004 at the dayH3117 appointedH3677. {with…: Heb. in his hand} {the day…: or, the new moon}
With her muchH7230 fair speechH3948 she caused him to yieldH5186, with the flatteringH2506 of her lipsH8193 she forcedH5080 him.
He goethH1980 afterH310 her straightwayH6597, as an oxH7794 goethH935 to the slaughterH2874, or as a foolH191 to the correctionH4148 of the stocksH5914; {straightway: Heb. suddenly}
Till a dartH2671 strikeH6398 through his liverH3516; as a birdH6833 hastethH4116 to the snareH6341, and knowethH3045 not that it is for his lifeH5315.
HearkenH8085 unto me now therefore, O ye childrenH1121, and attendH7181 to the wordsH561 of my mouthH6310.
Let not thine heartH3820 declineH7847 to her waysH1870, go not astrayH8582 in her pathsH5410.
For she hath cast downH5307 manyH7227 woundedH2491: yea, many strongH6099 men have been slainH2026 by her.
Her houseH1004 is the wayH1870 to hellH7585, going downH3381 to the chambersH2315 of deathH4194.
