Proverbs 7:1-10 ▼

1 My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee.

2 Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thy eye.

3 Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thy heart.

4 Say to wisdom, Thou art my sister; and call understanding thy kinswoman:

5 That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger which flattereth with her words.

6 For at the window of my house I looked through my casement,

7 And beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding,

8 Passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house.

9 In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night:

10 And behold, there met him a woman with the attire of a harlot, and subtil of heart.
