箴言7-智慧

箴言7章中

¹Follow my advice, my son;always treasure my commands.
²Obey my commands and live!Guard my instructions as you guard your own eyes.#7:2 Hebrew as the pupil of your eye.
³Tie them on your fingers as a reminder.Write them deep within your heart.

⁴Love wisdom like a sister;make insight a beloved member of your family.
⁵Let them protect you from an affair with an immoral woman, from listening to the flattery of a promiscuous woman.

⁶While I was at the window of my house, looking through the curtain,
⁷I saw some naive young men, and one in particular who lacked common sense.
⁸He was crossing the street near the house of an immoral woman, strolling down the path by her house.
⁹It was at twilight, in the evening, as deep darkness fell.
¹⁰The woman approached him, seductively dressed and sly of heart.
¹¹She was the brash, rebellious type, never content to stay at home.
¹²She is often in the streets and markets, soliciting at every corner.
¹³She threw her arms around him and kissed him, and with a brazen look she said,
¹⁴“I’ve just made my peace offeringsand fulfilled my vows.
¹⁵You’re the one I was looking for!I came out to find you, and here you are!
¹⁶My bed is spread with beautiful blankets, with colored sheets of Egyptian linen.
¹⁷I’ve perfumed my bedwith myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
¹⁸Come, let’s drink our fill of love until morning.Let’s enjoy each other’s caresses,
¹⁹for my husband is not home.He’s away on a long trip.
²⁰He has taken a wallet full of money with himand won’t return until later this month.#7:20 Hebrew until the moon is full.”
²¹So she seduced him with her pretty speechand enticed him with her flattery.

²²He followed her at once, like an ox going to the slaughter.He was like a stag caught in a trap, #7:22 As in Greek and Syriac versions; Hebrew reads slaughter, as shackles are for the discipline of a fool.
²³awaiting the arrow that would pierce its heart.He was like a bird flying into a snare, little knowing it would cost him his life.

²⁴So listen to me, my sons, and pay attention to my words.
²⁵Don’t let your hearts stray away toward her.Don’t wander down her wayward path.
²⁶For she has been the ruin of many;many men have been her victims.
²⁷Her house is the road to the grave.#7:27 Hebrew to Sheol.Her bedroom is the den of death.
