7My son, keep my words and store up my commands within you.
2Keep my commands and you will live; guard my teachings as the apple of your eye.
3Bind them on your fingers; write them on the tablet of your heart.
4Say to wisdom, "You are my sister," and call understanding your kinsman¹;
5they will keep you from the adulteress, from the wayward wife with her seductive words.
6At the window of my house I looked out through the lattice.
7I saw among the simple, I noticed among the young men, a youth who lacked judgment².
8He was going down the street near her corner, walking along in the direction of her house
9at twilight³, as the day was fading, as the dark of night set in.
10Then out came a woman to meet him, dressed like a prostitute and with crafty⁴ intent.
11(She is loud and defiant⁵, her feet never stay at home;
12now in the street, now in the squares, at every corner she lurks⁶.)
13She took hold of him and kissed him and with a brazen⁷ face she said:
14"I have fellowship offerings at home; today I fulfilled my vows⁸.
15So I came out to meet you; I looked for you and have found you!
16I have covered my bed with colored linens⁹ from Egypt.
17I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes and cinnamon.
18Come, let's drink deep of love till morning; let's enjoy ourselves with love!
19My husband is not at home; he has gone on a long journey.
20He took his purse filled with money and will not be home till full moon."
21With persuasive¹⁰ words she led him astray; she seduced¹¹ him with her smooth talk.
22All at once he followed her like an ox going to the slaughter¹², like a deer stepping into a noose¹³
23till an arrow pierces his liver, like a bird darting¹⁴ into a snare¹⁵, little knowing it will cost him his life.
24Now then, my sons, listen to me; pay attention to what I say.
25Do not let your heart turn to her ways or stray into her paths.
26Many are the victims she has brought down; her slain¹⁶ are a mighty¹⁷ throng¹⁸.
27Her house is a highway to the grave, leading down to the chambers¹⁹ of death.
