The Wiles of the Harlot

7My son, keep my words, And treasure my commandments within you.H1121H8104H561H6845H4687 2Keep my commandments and live, And my teaching 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] intimate friend;H559H2451H269H7121H998H4129 5That they may keep you from an adulteress, From the foreigner who flatters with her words.H8104H2114H802H5237H2505H561 6For at the window of my house I looked out through my lattice,H2474H1004H8259H822 7And I saw among the naive, I discerned among the youths, A young man lacking sense,H7200H6612H995H1121H5288H2638H3820 8Passing through the street near her corner; And he takes the way to her house,H5674H7784H681H6434H6805H1870H1004 9In the twilight, in the evening, In the middle of the night and [in] the darkness.H5399H3117H6153H380H653H3915 10And behold, a woman [comes] to meet him, Dressed as a harlot and cunning of heart.H7125H802H7897H2181H5341H3820 11She is boisterous and rebellious; Her feet do not remain at home;H1993H5637H7272H7931H1004 12[She is] now in the streets, now in the squares, And lurks by every corner.H6471H2351H6471H7339H693H681H6438 13So she seizes him and kisses him, And with a brazen face she says to him:H2388H5401H5810H6440H559 14"I was due to offer peace offerings; Today I have paid my vows.H8002H2077H3117H7999H5088 15"Therefore I have come out to meet you, To seek your presence earnestly, and I have found you.H3318H7125H7836H6440H4672 16"I have spread my couch with coverings, With colored linens of Egypt.H7234H6210H4765H2405H330H4714 17"I have sprinkled my bed With myrrh, aloes and cinnamon.H5130H4904H4753H174H7076 18"Come, let us drink our fill of love until morning; Let us delight ourselves with caresses.H3212H7301H1730H1242H5965H159 19"For the man is not at home, He has gone on a long journey;H376H1004H1980H7350H1870 20He has taken a bag of money with him, At full moon he will come home. "H3947H6872H3701H3027H935H1004H3117H3677 21With her many persuasions she entices him; With her flattering lips she seduces him.H7230H3948H5186H2506H8193H5080 22Suddenly he follows her, As an ox goes to the slaughter, Or as [one in] fetters to the discipline of a fool,H1980H310H6597H7794H935H2874H191H4148H5914 23Until an arrow pierces through his liver; As a bird hastens to the snare, So he does not know that it [will cost him] his life.H2671H6398H3516H6833H4116H6341H3045H5315 24Now therefore, [my] sons, listen to me, And 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 many are the victims she has cast down, And numerous are all her slain.H5307H7227H2491H6099H2026 27Her house is the way to Sheol, Descending to the chambers of death.H1004H1870H7585H3381H2315H4194
