[an error occurred while processing this directive]New International Version
1[an error occurred while processing this directive]1My son, keep my words and store up my commands within you.
2[an error occurred while processing this directive]2Keep my commands and you will live; guard my teachings as the apple of your eye.
3[an error occurred while processing this directive]3Bind them on your fingers; write them on the tablet of your heart.
4[an error occurred while processing this directive]4Say to wisdom, "You are my sister," and to insight, "You are my relative."
5[an error occurred while processing this directive]5They will keep you from the adulterous woman, from the wayward woman with her seductive words.
6[an error occurred while processing this directive]6At the window of my house I looked down through the lattice.
7[an error occurred while processing this directive]7I saw among the simple, I noticed among the young men, a youth who had no sense.
8[an error occurred while processing this directive]8He was going down the street near her corner, walking along in the direction of her house
9[an error occurred while processing this directive]9at twilight, as the day was fading, as the dark of night set in.
10[an error occurred while processing this directive]10Then out came a woman to meet him, dressed like a prostitute and with crafty intent.
11[an error occurred while processing this directive]11(She is unruly and defiant, her feet never stay at home;
12[an error occurred while processing this directive]12now in the street, now in the squares, at every corner she lurks.)
13[an error occurred while processing this directive]13She took hold of him and kissed him and with a brazen face she said:
14[an error occurred while processing this directive]14"Today I fulfilled my vows, and I have food from my fellowship offering at home.
15[an error occurred while processing this directive]15So I came out to meet you; I looked for you and have found you!
16[an error occurred while processing this directive]16I have covered my bed with colored linens from Egypt.
17[an error occurred while processing this directive]17I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes and cinnamon.
18[an error occurred while processing this directive]18Come, let's drink deeply of love till morning; let's enjoy ourselves with love!
19[an error occurred while processing this directive]19My husband is not at home; he has gone on a long journey.
20[an error occurred while processing this directive]20He took his purse filled with money and will not be home till full moon."
21[an error occurred while processing this directive]21With persuasive words she led him astray; she seduced him with her smooth talk.
22[an error occurred while processing this directive]22All at once he followed her like an ox going to the slaughter, like a deer stepping into a noose
23[an error occurred while processing this directive]23till an arrow pierces his liver, like a bird darting into a snare, little knowing it will cost him his life.
24[an error occurred while processing this directive]24Now then, my sons, listen to me; pay attention to what I say.
25[an error occurred while processing this directive]25Do not let your heart turn to her ways or stray into her paths.
26[an error occurred while processing this directive]26Many are the victims she has brought down; her slain are a mighty throng.
27[an error occurred while processing this directive]27Her house is a highway to the grave, leading down to the chambers of death.
