잠언 7장 Coverdale Bible
- 1 My sonne, kepe my wordes, & laye vp my comaundemetes by the.
- 2 Kepe my comaundemetes & my lawe, eue as the aple of thine eye, & thou shalt lyue.
- 3 Bynde them vpon thy fyngers, & wryte the in the table of thine hert.
- 4 Saye vnto wysdome: thou art my sister, and call vnderstondinge thy kynswoman:
- 5 that she maye kepe ye fro ye strauge woma, & fro ye harlot which geueth swete wordes.
- 6 For out of the wyndowe of my house I loked thorow the trelies,
- 7 & behelde the simple people: & amonge other yonge folkes I spyed one yonge foole
- 8 goinge ouer the stretes, by the corner in the waye towarde the harlottes house
- 9 in the twylight of of the euenynge, when it begane now to be night and darcke.
- 10 And beholde, there mett him a woma in an harlottes apparell
- 11 (a disceatfull, waton & an vnstedfast woma: whose fete coude not abyde in ye house,
- 12 now is she without, now i ye stretes, & lurketh i euery corner)
- 13 she caught ye yoge ma, kyssed him & was not ashamed, sayege:
- 14 I had a vowe to paye, & this daye I perfourme it.
- 15 Therfore came I forth to mete the, that I might seke thy face, and so I haue founde the.
- 16 I haue deckte my bed with coueringes & clothes of Egipte.
- 17 My bed haue I made to smell of Myrre, Aloes and Cynamom.
- 18 Come, let vs lye together, & take oure pleasure till it be daye light.
- 19 For the good man is not at home, he is gone farre of.
- 20 He hath taken the bagg of moneye with him, who can tell whe he cometh home?
- 21 Thus with many swete wordes she ouercame him, and with hir flateringe lippes she wanne him.
- 22 Immediatly he foloweth her, as it were an oxeled to the slaughter (and like as it were to the stockes, where fooles are punyshed)
- 23 so longe till she hath wounded his lyuer with hir darte: like as yf a byrde haisted to the snare, not knowinge that the parell of his life lyeth there vpo.
- 24 Heare me now therfore (o my sonne) and marcke the wordes of my mouth.
- 25 Let not thine herte wandre in hir wayes, & be not thou disceaued in hir pathes.
- 26 For many one hath she wouded and cast downe, yee many a stronge ma hath she slayne.
- 27 Hir house is the waye vnto hell, where men go downe to the chambers of death.
