The Wiles of a Harlot

7My son, keep my words, And treasure my commands within you.H1121H8104H561H6845H4687 2Keep my commands and live, And my law as the apple of your eye.H8104H4687H2421H8451H380H5869 3Bind them on your fingers; Write them on the tablet of your heart.H7194H676H3789H3871H3820 4Say to wisdom, "You are my sister," And call understanding your nearest kin,H559H2451H269H7121H998H4129 5That they may keep you from the immoral woman, From the seductress who flatters with her words.H8104H2114H802H5237H2505H561

The Crafty Harlot

6For at the window of my house I looked through my lattice,H2474H1004H8259H822 7And saw among the simple, I perceived among the youths, A young man devoid of understanding,H7200H6612H995H1121H5288H2638H3820 8Passing along the street near her corner; And he took the path to her houseH5674H7784H681H6434H6805H1870H1004 9In the twilight, in the evening, In the black and dark night.H5399H3117H6153H380H653H3915 10And there a woman met him, With the attire of a harlot, and a crafty heart.H7125H802H7897H2181H5341H3820 11She was loud and rebellious, Her feet would not stay at home.H1993H5637H7272H7931H1004 12At times she was outside, at times in the open square, Lurking at every corner.H6471H2351H6471H7339H693H681H6438 13So she caught him and kissed him; With an impudent face she said to him:H2388H5401H5810H6440H559 14"I have peace offerings with me; Today I have paid my vows.H8002H2077H3117H7999H5088 15So I came out to meet you, Diligently to seek your face, And I have found you.H3318H7125H7836H6440H4672 16I have spread my bed with tapestry, Colored coverings of Egyptian linen.H7234H6210H4765H2405H330H4714 17I have perfumed my bed With myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.H5130H4904H4753H174H7076 18Come, let us take our fill of love until morning; Let us delight ourselves with love.H3212H7301H1730H1242H5965H159 19For my husband is not at home; He has gone on a long journey;H376H1004H1980H7350H1870 20He has taken a bag of money with him, And will come home on the appointed day."H3947H6872H3701H3027H935H1004H3117H3677 21With her enticing speech she caused him to yield, With her flattering lips she seduced him.H7230H3948H5186H2506H8193H5080 22Immediately he went after her, as an ox goes to the slaughter, Or as a fool to the correction of the stocks,H1980H310H6597H7794H935H2874H191H4148H5914 23Till an arrow struck his liver. As a bird hastens to the snare, He did not know it would cost his life.H2671H6398H3516H6833H4116H6341H3045H5315 24Now therefore, listen to me, my children; Pay attention to the words of my mouth:H8085H1121H7181H561H6310 25Do not let your heart turn aside to her ways, Do not stray into her paths;H3820H7847H1870H8582H5410 26For she has cast down many wounded, And all who were slain by her were strong men.H5307H7227H2491H6099H2026 27Her house is the way to hell, Descending to the chambers of death.H1004H1870H7585H3381H2315H4194
