CHAP. VII.
1 Solomon perswadeth to a sincere and kind familiaritie
with wisedome. 6 In an example of
his owne experience, he sheweth 10 the cunning
of an whore, 22 And the desperate simplicitie
of a yong wanton. 24 Hee dehorteth
from such wickednesse.
1
My sonne, keepe my words,
and lay vp my commaundements
with thee.
2
noteKeepe my commandements,
and liue: and my
law as the apple of thine eye.
3
Bind them vpon thy fingers, write
them vpon the table of thine heart.
4
Say vnto Wisedome, Thou art
my sister, and call Understanding thy
kinse woman,
5
noteThat they may keepe thee from
the strange woman, from the stranger
which flattereth with her words.
6
¶ For at the windowe of my
house I looked through my casement,
7
And behelde among the simple
ones, I discerned among note the youths,
a yong man void of vnderstanding,
8
Passing through the streete neere
her corner, and he went the way to her
house,
9
In the twilight note in the euening,
in the blacke and darke night:
10
And behold, there met him a woman,
with the attire of an harlot, and
subtill of heart.
11
( note She is loud and stubburne, her
feet abide not in her house:
12
Now is shee without, now in the
streetes, and lieth in waite at euery corner.)
13
So she caught him, and kissed him,
and note with an impudent face, said vnto
him,
14
I haue note peace offerings with me:
this day haue I paid my vowes.
15
Therefore came I forth to meete
thee, diligently to seeke thy face, and I
haue found thee.
16
I haue deckt my bed with couerings
of tapestrie, with carued workes,
with fine linnen of Egypt.
17
I haue perfumed my bed with
myrrhe, aloes, and cynamom.
18
Come, let vs take our fill of loue
vntill the morning, let vs solace our
selues with loues.
19
For the good-man is not at home,
he is gone a long iourney.
20
He hath taken a bag of money
The description of a harlot.
note with him, and will come home at note the
day appointed.
21
With much faire speech she caused
him to yeeld, with the flattering of her
lips she forced him.
22
He goeth after her note straightway,
as an oxe goeth to the slaughter, or as a
foole to the correction of the stocks,
23
Til a dart strike through his liuer,
as a bird hasteth to the snare, and
knoweth not that it is for his life.
24
¶ Hearken vnto me now therefore,
O ye children, and attend to the
words of my mouth.
25
Let not thine heart decline to her
wayes, goe not astray in her paths.
26
For shee hath cast downe many
wounded: yea many strong men haue
bene slaine by her.
27
noteHer house is the way to hell, going
downe to the chambers of death.
