Proverbs 7 :: Hebrew Names Version (HNV)

The Wiles of the Harlot

Pro 7:1

Pro 7:1My son, keep my words. Lay up my mitzvot within you.

Pro 7:2

Pro 7:2Keep my mitzvot and live; Guard my teaching as the apple of your eye.

Pro 7:3

Pro 7:3Bind them on your fingers. Write them on the tablet of your heart.

Pro 7:4

Pro 7:4Tell wisdom, "You are my sister." Call understanding your relative,

Pro 7:5

Pro 7:5That they may keep you from the strange woman, From the foreigner who flatters with her words.

Pro 7:6

Pro 7:6For at the window of my house, I looked out through my lattice.

Pro 7:7

Pro 7:7I saw among the simple ones. I discerned among the youths a young man void of understanding,

Pro 7:8

Pro 7:8Passing through the street near her corner, He went the way to her house,

Pro 7:9

Pro 7:9In the twilight, in the evening of the day, In the middle of the night and in the darkness.

Pro 7:10

Pro 7:10Behold, there a woman met him with the attire of a prostitute, And with crafty intent.

Pro 7:11

Pro 7:11She is loud and defiant. Her feet don't stay in her house.

Pro 7:12

Pro 7:12Now she is in the streets, now in the squares, And lurking at every corner.

Pro 7:13

Pro 7:13So she caught him, and kissed him. With an impudent face she said to him:

Pro 7:14

Pro 7:14"Sacrifices of peace-offerings are with me. This day I have paid my vows.

Pro 7:15

Pro 7:15Therefore I came out to meet you, To diligently seek your face, And I have found you.

Pro 7:16

Pro 7:16I have spread my couch with carpets of tapestry, With striped cloths of the yarn of Mitzrayim.

Pro 7:17

Pro 7:17I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.

Pro 7:18

Pro 7:18Come, let's take our fill of loving until the morning. Let's solace ourselves with loving.

Pro 7:19

Pro 7:19For my husband isn't at home. He has gone on a long journey.

Pro 7:20

Pro 7:20He has taken a bag of money with him. He will come home at the full moon."

Pro 7:21

Pro 7:21With persuasive words, she led him astray. With the flattering of her lips, she seduced him.

Pro 7:22

Pro 7:22He followed her immediately, As an ox goes to the slaughter, As a fool stepping into a noose.

Pro 7:23

Pro 7:23Until an arrow strikes through his liver, As a bird hurries to the snare, And doesn't know that it will cost his life.

Pro 7:24

Pro 7:24Now therefore, sons, listen to me. Pay attention to the words of my mouth.

Pro 7:25

Pro 7:25Don't let your heart turn to her ways. Don't go astray in her paths,

Pro 7:26

Pro 7:26For she has thrown down many wounded. Yes, all her slain are a mighty host.

Pro 7:27

Pro 7:27Her house is the way to She'ol, Going down to the chambers of death.
