1 -My son, keep my words and treasure my commandments within you.
2 -Keep my commandments and live; guard my teachings as the apple of your eye.
3 -Tie them to your fingers; write them on the tablet of your heart.
4 -Say to wisdom, “You are my sister,” and call understanding your kinsman,
5 -that they may keep you from the adulteress, from the stranger with seductive words.
6 -For at the window of my house I looked through the lattice.
7 -I saw among the simple, I noticed among the youths, a young man lacking judgment,
8 -crossing the street near her corner, strolling down the road to her house,
9 -at twilight, as the day was fading into the dark of the night.
10 -Then a woman came out to meet him, with the attire of a harlot and cunning of heart.
11 -She is loud and defiant; her feet do not remain at home.
12 -Now in the street, now in the squares, she lurks at every corner.
13 -She seizes him and kisses him; she brazenly says to him:
14 -“I have made my peace offerings; today I have paid my vows.
15 -So I came out to meet you; I sought you, and I have found you.
16 -I have decked my bed with coverings, with colored linen from Egypt.
17 -I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, with aloes, and with cinnamon.
18 -Come, let us take our fill of love till morning. Let us delight in loving caresses!
19 -For my husband is not at home; he has gone on a long journey.
20 -He took with him a bag of money and will not return till the moon is full.”
21 -With her great persuasion she entices him; with her flattering lips she lures him.
22 -He follows her on impulse, like an ox going to the slaughter, like a deer bounding into a trap,
23 -until an arrow pierces his liver, like a bird darting into a snare—not knowing it will cost him his life.
24 -Now, my sons, listen to me, and attend to the words of my mouth.
25 -Do not let your heart turn aside to her ways; do not stray into her paths.
26 -For she has brought many down to death; her slain are many in number.
27 -Her house is the road to Sheol, descending to the chambers of death.
