Proverbs 7:1-10

Revised Standard Version RSV

1 My son, keep my words and treasure up my commandments with you;

2 keep my commandments and live, keep my teachings as the apple of your eye;

3 bind them on your fingers, write them on the tablet of your heart.

4 Say to wisdom, "You are my sister," and call insight your intimate friend;

5 to preserve you from the loose woman, from the adventuress with her smooth words.

6 For at the window of my house I have looked out through my lattice,

7 and I have seen among the simple, I have perceived among the youths, a young man without sense,

8 passing along the street near her corner, taking the road to her house

9 in the twilight, in the evening, at the time of night and darkness.

10 And lo, a woman meets him, dressed as a harlot, wily of heart.
