Prouerbs 7

1 Solomon persuadeth to a sincere and kind familiarity with wisdom. 6 In an example of his own experience, he sheweth 10 the cunning of a whore, 22 and the desperate simplicity of a young wanton. 24 He dehorteth from such wickedness.

 7:1 ¶ My sonne, 1121 keepe 8104 z8798 my words, 561 and lay vp 6845 z8799 my commaundements 4687 with x854 thee.

 7:2 Keepe 8104 z8798 my commandements, 4687 and liue: 2421 z8798 and my law 8451 as the apple 380 of thine eye. 5869

 7:3 Bind 7194 z8798 them vpon x5921 thy fingers, 676 write 3789 z8798 them vpon x5921 the table 3871 of thine heart. 3820

 7:4 Say 559 z8798 vnto Wisedome, 2451 Thou x859 [art] my sister, 269 and call 7121 z8799 Understanding 998 [thy] kinse woman, 4129

 7:5 That they may keepe 8104 z8800 thee from the strange 2114 z8801 woman, 802 x4480 from the stranger 5237 x4480 [which] flattereth 2505 z8689 with her words. 561

 7:6 ¶ For x3588 at the windowe 2474 of my house 1004 I looked 8259 z8738 through x1157 my casement, 822

 7:7 And behelde 7200 z8799 among the simple ones, 6612 I discerned 995 z8799 among the youths, 1121 a yong man 5288 void 2638 of vnderstanding, 3820

 7:8 Passing x5674 through y5674 z8802 the streete 7784 neere 681 her corner, y6434 x6438 and he went 6805 z8799 the way 1870 to her house, 1004

 7:9 In the twilight 5399 in the euening, 3117 6153 in the blacke 380 and darke 653 night: 3915

 7:10 And behold, x2009 there met 7125 z8800 him a woman, 802 [with] the attire 7897 of an harlot, 2181 z8802 and subtill 5341 z8803 of heart. 3820

 7:11 (She x1931 is loud 1993 z8802 and stubburne, 5637 z8802 her feet 7272 abide 7931 z8799 not x3808 in her house: 1004

 7:12 Now 6471 is shee without, 2351 now 6471 in the streetes, 7339 and lieth in waite 693 z8799 at 681 euery x3605 corner.) 6438

 7:13 So she caught 2388 z8689 him, and kissed 5401 z8804 him, and with an impudent 5810 z8689 face, 6440 said 559 z8799 vnto him,

 7:14 I [haue] peace y8002 offerings 2077 x8002 with x5921 me: this day 3117 haue I paid 7999 z8765 my vowes. 5088

 7:15 Therefore x5921 x3651 came I forth 3318 z8804 to meete 7125 z8800 thee, diligently to seeke 7836 z8763 thy face, 6440 and I haue found 4672 z8799 thee.

 7:16 I haue deckt 7234 z8804 my bed 6210 with couerings y4765 of tapestrie, x4765 with carued 2405 workes, [with] fine linnen 330 of Egypt. 4714

 7:17 I haue perfumed 5130 z8804 my bed 4904 with myrrhe, 4753 aloes, 174 and cynamom. 7076

 7:18 Come, y3212 z8798 x1980 let vs take our fill 7301 z8799 of loue 1730 vntill x5704 the morning, 1242 let vs solace y5965 z8691 our selues x5965 with loues. 159

 7:19 For x3588 the good-man 376 [is] not x369 at home, 1004 he is gone 1980 z8804 a long 7350 x4480 iourney. 1870

 7:20 He hath taken 3947 z8804 a bag 6872 of money 3701 with x3027 him, y3027 [and] will come 935 z8799 home 1004 at the day 3117 appointed. 3677

 7:21 With much 7230 faire speech 3948 she caused him to yeeld, 5186 z8689 with the flattering 2506 of her lips 8193 she forced 5080 z8686 him.

 7:22 He goeth 1980 z8802 after 310 her straightway, 6597 as an oxe 7794 goeth 935 z8799 to x413 the slaughter, 2874 or as a foole 191 to x413 the correction 4148 of the stocks, 5914

 7:23 Til x5704 a dart 2671 strike y6398 z8762 through x6398 his liuer, 3516 as a bird 6833 hasteth 4116 z8763 to x413 the snare, 6341 and knoweth 3045 z8804 not x3808 that x3588 it x1931 [is] for his life. 5315

 7:24 ¶ Hearken 8085 z8798 vnto me now x6258 therefore, O ye children, 1121 and attend 7181 z8685 to the words 561 of my mouth. 6310

 7:25 Let not x408 thine heart 3820 decline 7847 z8799 to x413 her wayes, 1870 goe not astray 8582 z8799 x408 in her paths. 5410

 7:26 For x3588 shee hath cast downe 5307 z8689 many 7227 wounded: 2491 yea many x3605 strong 6099 men haue bene slaine 2026 z8803 by her.

 7:27 Her house 1004 [is] the way 1870 to hell, 7585 going downe 3381 z8802 to x413 the chambers 2315 of death. 4194
