Unchecked Copy BoxPro 7:1 - My son, keep my words and treasure up my commandments with you;
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 7:2 - keep my commandments and live, keep my teachings as the apple of your eye;
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 7:3 - bind them on your fingers, write them on the tablet of your heart.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 7:4 - Say to wisdom, "You are my sister," and call insight your intimate friend;
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 7:5 - to preserve you from the loose woman, from the adventuress with her smooth words.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 7:6 - For at the window of my house I have looked out through my lattice,
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 7:7 - and I have seen among the simple, I have perceived among the youths, a young man without sense,
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 7:8 - passing along the street near her corner, taking the road to her house
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 7:9 - in the twilight, in the evening, at the time of night and darkness.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 7:10 - And lo, a woman meets him, dressed as a harlot, wily of heart.

Unchecked Copy BoxPro 7:13 - She seizes him and kisses him, and with impudent face she says to him:
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 7:14 - "I had to offer sacrifices, and today I have paid my vows;
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 7:15 - so now I have come out to meet you, to seek you eagerly, and I have found you.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 7:16 - I have decked my couch with coverings, colored spreads of Egyptian linen;
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 7:17 - I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 7:18 - Come, let us take our fill of love till morning; let us delight ourselves with love.

Unchecked Copy BoxPro 7:20 - he took a bag of money with him; at full moon he will come home."
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 7:21 - With much seductive speech she persuades him; with her smooth talk she compels him.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 7:22 - All at once he follows her, as an ox goes to the slaughter, or as a stag is caught fast
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 7:23 - till an arrow pierces its entrails; as a bird rushes into a snare; he does not know that it will cost him his life.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 7:24 - And now, O sons, listen to me, and be attentive to the words of my mouth.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 7:25 - Let not your heart turn aside to her ways, do not stray into her paths;
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 7:26 - for many a victim has she laid low; yea, all her slain are a mighty host.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 7:27 - Her house is the way to Sheol, going down to the chambers of death.
