MY son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017233">2</a>. Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017234">3</a>. Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thine heart.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017235">4</a>. Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister; and call understanding thy kinswoman:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017236">5</a>. That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger which flattereth with her words.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017237">6</a>. For at the window of my house I looked through my casement,</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017238">7</a>. And beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding,</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017239">8</a>. Passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house,</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017240">9</a>. In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017241">10</a>. And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017242">11</a>. (She is loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017243">12</a>. Now is she without, now in the streets, and lieth in wait at every corner.)</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017244">13</a>. So she caught him, and kissed him, and with an impudent face said unto him,</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017245">14</a>. I have peace offerings with me; this day have I payed my vows.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017246">15</a>. Therefore came I forth to meet thee, diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017247">16</a>. I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with carved works, with fine linen of Egypt.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017248">17</a>. I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017249">18</a>. Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning: let us solace ourselves with loves.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017250">19</a>. For the goodman is not at home, he is gone a long journey:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017251">20</a>. He hath taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at the day appointed.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017252">21</a>. With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017253">22</a>. He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks;</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017254">23</a>. Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017255">24</a>. Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend to the words of my mouth.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017256">25</a>. Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017257">26</a>. For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017258">27</a>. Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death.</li>
