Red-Letter King James Bible 1769 Edition (KJV)

Proverbs 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 son, 1121 keep 8104 z8798 my words, 561 and lay up 6845 z8799 my commandments 4687 with x854 thee.

 7:2 Keep 8104 z8798 my commandments, 4687 and live; 2421 z8798 and my law 8451 as the apple 380 of thine eye. 5869

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

 7:4 Say 559 z8798 unto wisdom, 2451 Thou x859 [art] my sister; 269 and call 7121 z8799 understanding 998 [thy] kinswoman: 4129

 7:5 That they may keep 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 window 2474 of my house 1004 I looked 8259 z8738 through x1157 my casement, 822

 7:7 And beheld 7200 z8799 among the simple ones, 6612 I discerned 995 z8799 among the youths, 1121 a young man 5288 void 2638 of understanding, 3820

 7:8 Passing x5674 through y5674 z8802 the street 7784 near 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 evening, 3117 6153 in the black 380 and dark 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 subtil 5341 z8803 of heart. 3820

 7:11 (She x1931 [is] loud 1993 z8802 and stubborn; 5637 z8802 her feet 7272 abide 7931 z8799 not x3808 in her house: 1004

 7:12 Now 6471 [is she] without, 2351 now 6471 in the streets, 7339 and lieth in wait 693 z8799 at 681 every 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 unto him,

 7:14 [I have] peace y8002 offerings 2077 x8002 with x5921 me; this day 3117 have I payed 7999 z8765 my vows. 5088

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

 7:16 I have decked 7234 z8804 my bed 6210 with coverings y4765 of tapestry, x4765 with carved 2405 [works], with fine linen 330 of Egypt. 4714

 7:17 I have perfumed 5130 z8804 my bed 4904 with myrrh, 4753 aloes, 174 and cinnamon. 7076

 7:18 Come, y3212 z8798 x1980 let us take our fill 7301 z8799 of love 1730 until x5704 the morning: 1242 let us solace y5965 z8691 ourselves x5965 with loves. 159

 7:19 For x3588 the goodman 376 [is] not x369 at home, 1004 he is gone 1980 z8804 a long 7350 x4480 journey: 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 her much 7230 fair speech 3948 she caused him to yield, 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 ox 7794 goeth 935 z8799 to x413 the slaughter, 2874 or as a fool 191 to x413 the correction 4148 of the stocks; 5914

 7:23 Till x5704 a dart 2671 strike y6398 z8762 through x6398 his liver; 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 unto 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 ways, 1870 go not astray 8582 z8799 x408 in her paths. 5410

 7:26 For x3588 she hath cast down 5307 z8689 many 7227 wounded: 2491 yea, many x3605 strong 6099 [men] have been slain 2026 z8803 by her.

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