Proverbs 7

English Standard Version ESV

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

2 keep my commandments and live; keep my teaching 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 keep you from the forbidden woman, from the adulteress 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 lacking 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 behold, the woman meets him, dressed as a prostitute, wily of heart.

11 She is loud and wayward; her feet do not stay at home;

12 now in the street, now in the market, and at every corner she lies in wait.

13 She seizes him and kisses him, and with bold face she says to him,

14 “I had to offer sacrifices, and today I have paid my vows;

15 so now I have come out to meet you, to seek you eagerly, and I have found you.

16 I have spread my couch with coverings, colored linens from Egyptian linen;

17 I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.

18 Come, let us take our fill of love till morning; let us delight ourselves with love.

19 For my husband is not at home; he has gone on a long journey;

20 he took a bag of money with him; at full moon he will come home. ”

21 With much seductive speech she persuades him; with her smooth talk she compels him.

22 All at once he follows her, as an ox goes to the slaughter, or as a stag is caught fast

23 till an arrow pierces its liver; as a bird rushes into a snare; he does not know that it will cost him his life.

24 And now, O sons, listen to me, and be attentive to the words of my mouth.

25 Let not your heart turn aside to her ways; do not stray into her paths,

26 for many a victim has she laid low, and all her slain are a mighty throng.

27 Her house is the way to Sheol, going down to the chambers of death.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 fili mi custodi sermones meos et praecepta mea reconde tibi

2 serva mandata mea et vives et legem meam quasi pupillam oculi tui

3 liga eam in digitis tuis scribe illam in tabulis cordis tui

4 dic sapientiae soror mea es et prudentiam voca amicam tuam

5 ut custodiat te a muliere extranea et ab aliena quae verba sua dulcia facit

6 de fenestra enim domus meae per cancellos prospexi

7 et video parvulos considero vecordem iuvenem

8 qui transit in platea iuxta angulum et propter viam domus illius graditur

9 in obscuro advesperascente die in noctis tenebris et caligine

10 et ecce mulier occurrit illi ornatu meretricio praeparata ad capiendas animas garrula et vaga

11 quietis inpatiens nec valens in domo consistere pedibus suis

12 nunc foris nunc in plateis nunc iuxta angulos insidians

13 adprehensumque deosculatur iuvenem et procaci vultu blanditur dicens

14 victimas pro salute debui hodie reddidi vota mea

15 idcirco egressa sum in occursum tuum desiderans te videre et repperi

16 intexui funibus lectum meum stravi tapetibus pictis ex Aegypto

17 aspersi cubile meum murra et aloe et cinnamomo

18 veni inebriemur uberibus donec inlucescat dies et fruamur cupitis amplexibus

19 non est enim vir in domo sua abiit via longissima

20 sacculum pecuniae secum tulit in die plenae lunae reversurus est domum suam

21 inretivit eum multis sermonibus et blanditiis labiorum protraxit illum

22 statim eam sequitur quasi bos ductus ad victimam et quasi agnus lasciviens et ignorans quod ad vincula stultus trahatur

23 donec transfigat sagitta iecur eius velut si avis festinet ad laqueum et nescit quia de periculo animae illius agitur

24 nunc ergo fili audi me et adtende verba oris mei

25 ne abstrahatur in viis illius mens tua neque decipiaris semitis eius

26 multos enim vulneratos deiecit et fortissimi quique interfecti sunt ab ea

27 viae inferi domus eius penetrantes interiora mortis
