잠언 7장 NASB
- 1 My son keep my words And treasure my commandments within you.
- 2 Keep my commandments and live And my teaching as the apple of your eye.
- 3 Bind them on your fingers; Write them on the tablet of your heart.
- 4 Say to wisdom "You are my sister" And call understanding your intimate friend;
- 5 That they may keep you from an adulteress From the foreigner who flatters with her words.
- 6 For at the window of my house I looked out through my lattice
- 7 And I saw among the naive And discerned among the youths A young man lacking sense
- 8 Passing through the street near her corner; And he takes the way to her house
- 9 In the twilight in the evening In the middle of the night and in the darkness.
- 10 And behold a woman comes to meet him Dressed as a harlot and cunning of heart.
- 11 She is boisterous and rebellious Her feet do not remain at home;
- 12 She is now in the streets now in the squares And lurks by every corner.
- 13 So she seizes him and kisses him And with a brazen face she says to him:
- 14 "I was due to offer peace offerings; Today I have paid my vows.
- 15 "Therefore I have come out to meet you To seek your presence earnestly and I have found you.
- 16 "I have spread my couch with coverings With colored linens of Egypt.
- 17 "I have sprinkled my bed With myrrh aloes and cinnamon.
- 18 "Come let us drink our fill of love until morning; Let us delight ourselves with caresses.
- 19 "For my husband is not at home He has gone on a long journey;
- 20 He has taken a bag of money with him At the full moon he will come home."
- 21 With her many persuasions she entices him; With her flattering lips she seduces him.
- 22 Suddenly he follows her As an ox goes to the slaughter Or as one in fetters to the discipline of a fool
- 23 Until an arrow pierces through his liver; As a bird hastens to the snare So he does not know that it will cost him his life.
- 24 Now therefore my sons listen to me And pay attention 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 many are the victims she has cast down And numerous are all her slain.
- 27 Her house is the way to Sheol Descending to the chambers of death.
