V.1 My son, 1121 keep 8104-3 my words, 561 and lay up 6845-4 my commandments 4687 with thee.

7:2 Keep 8104-3 my commandments, 4687 and live; 2421-3 and my law 8451 as the apple 380 of thine eye. 5869

7:3 Bind 7194-3 them upon thy fingers, 676 write 3789-3 them upon the table 3871 of thine heart. 3820

7:4 Say 559-3 unto wisdom, 2451 Thou [art] my sister; 269 and call 7121-4 understanding 998 [thy] kinswoman: 4129

7:5 That they may keep 8104-2 thee from the strange 2114-5 woman, 802 from the stranger 5237 [which] flattereth 2505-52 with her words. 561

7:6 For at the window 2474 of my house 1004 I looked 8259-8 through my casement, 822

7:7 And beheld 7200-4 among the simple ones, 6612 I discerned 995-4 among the youths, 1121 a young man 5288 void 2638 of understanding, 3820

7:8 Passing 5674-6 through the street 7784 near 681 her corner; 6434 and he went 6805-4 the way 1870 to her house, 1004

7:9 In the twilight, 5399 in the evening, 3117 6153 in the black 380 and dark 653 night: 3915

7:10 And, behold, there met 7125-2 him a woman 802 [with] the attire 7897 of an harlot, 2181-6 and subtil 5341-7 of heart. 3820

7:11 (She [is] loud 1993-6 and stubborn; 5637-6 her feet 7272 abide 7931-4 not in her house: 1004

7:12 Now 6471 [is she] without, 2351 now 6471 in the streets, 7339 and lieth in wait 693-4 at 681 every corner.) 6438

7:13 So she caught 2388-52 him, and kissed 5401-1 him, [and] with an impudent 5810-52 face 6440 said 559-4 unto him,

7:14 [I have] peace 8002 offerings 2077 with me; this day 3117 have I payed 7999-14 my vows. 5088

7:15 Therefore came I forth 3318-1 to meet 7125-2 thee, diligently to seek 7836-15 thy face, 6440 and I have found 4672-4 thee.

7:16 I have decked 7234-1 my bed 6210 with coverings of tapestry, 4765 with carved 2405 [works], with fine linen 330 of Egypt. 4714

7:17 I have perfumed 5130-1 my bed 4904 with myrrh, 4753 aloes, 174 and cinnamon. 7076

7:18 Come, 3212-3 let us take our fill 7301-4 of love 1730 until the morning: 1242 let us solace 5965-101 ourselves with loves. 159

7:19 For the goodman 376 [is] not at home, 1004 he is gone 1980-1 a long 7350 journey: 1870

7:20 He hath taken 3947-1 a bag 6872 of money 3701 with him, 3027 [and] will come 935-4 home 1004 at the day 3117 appointed. 3677

7:21 With her much 7230 fair speech 3948 she caused him to yield, 5186-52 with the flattering 2506 of her lips 8193 she forced 5080-55 him.

7:22 He goeth 1980-6 after 310 her straightway, 6597 as an ox 7794 goeth 935-4 to the slaughter, 2874 or as a fool 191 to the correction 4148 of the stocks; 5914

7:23 Till a dart 2671 strike through 6398-17 his liver; 3516 as a bird 6833 hasteth 4116-15 to the snare, 6341 and knoweth 3045-1 not that it [is] for his life. 5315

7:24 Hearken 8085-3 unto me now therefore, O ye children, 1121 and attend 7181-54 to the words 561 of my mouth. 6310

7:25 Let not thine heart 3820 decline 7847-4 to her ways, 1870 go not astray 8582-4 in her paths. 5410

7:26 For she hath cast down 5307-52 many 7227 wounded: 2491 yea, many strong 6099 [men] have been slain 2026-7 by her.
