ABP_Strongs(i)
  20 G5207 O son, G5442 guard G3551 the laws G3962 of your father! G1473   G2532 and G3361 you should not thrust away G683   G2330.2 the rules G3384 of your mother. G1473  
  21 G855.1 But affix G1161   G1473 them G1909 upon G4674 your G5590 soul G1275 always, G2532 and G1462.2 bind them with a cord G4012 around G4674 your G5137 neck!
  22 G2259 When G302 ever G4043 you should walk, G1863 bring G1473 it, G2532 and G3326 [2with G1473 3you G1510.5 1let it be]! G5613 And when G1161   G302 ever G2518 you should sleep, G5442 let it guard G1473 you! G2443 that G1453 in arising G4814 it should converse together G1473 with you.
  23 G3754 For G3088 [3 is a lamp G1785 1 the commandment G3551 2of the law], G2532 and G5457 a light, G2532 and G3598 a way G2222 of life, G2532 and G1650 reproof, G2532 and G3809 instruction;
  24 G3588   G1314 to guard G1473 you G575 from G1135 [2woman G5220 1a married], G2532 and G575 from G1227.2 the distraction G1100 [2tongue G245 1of a strange].
  25 G5207 O son, G3361 let not G1473 [3overcome you G3528   G2566.3 2of beauty G1939 1 the desire], G3366 nor G64 [3be caught G4674 1your G3788 2eyes] G3366 nor G4884 seized G575 by G3588   G1473 her G991.1 eyelids.
  26 G5092 For the value G1063   G4204 of a harlot G3745 is as much as G2532 even G1520 one G740 bread loaf; G1135 and a woman G1161   G435 [4of men G5093 2 the precious G5590 3souls G64 1ensnares].
  27 G588.1 Shall anyone tie up G5100   G4442 fire G1722 in G2859 his bosom, G3588   G1161 and G2440 his garments G3756 not G2618 incinerate?
  28 G2228 Or G4043 shall anyone walk G5100   G1909 upon G440 coals G4442 of fire, G3588   G1161 and G4228 his feet G3756 shall not G2618 incinerate.
  29 G3779 So G3588 the G1525 one entering G4314 to G1135 [2woman G5220 1a married]; G3756 he shall not G121.1 be acquitted, G3761 nor G3956 any one G3588   G680 touching G1473 her.
  30 G3756 It is not G2298 a wonder G1437 if G234.1 any be captured G5100   G2813 stealing; G2813 for he steals G1063   G2443 that G1705 he should fill up G5590 his soul G3983 when hungering;
  31 G1437 but if G1161   G234.1 he should be captured G661 he shall pay G2035.3 seven-fold, G2532 and G3956 [4all G3588   G5224 5his possessions G1473   G1325 3 by giving G4506 1shall rescue G1438 2himself].
  32 G3588 But the G1161   G3432 adulterer, G1223 through G1729.1 lack G5424 of sense, G684 [2destruction G3588   G5590 3for his soul G1473   G4046 1procures].
  33 G3601 Both griefs G5037   G2532 and G819 dishonor G5297 he suffers, G3588   G1161 and G3681 his scorn G1473   G3756 shall not G1813 be wiped away G1519 into G3588 the G165 eon.
  34 G3324 [4 is full G1063 1For G2205 5of zeal G2372 2 the rage G435 3of her husband]; G1473   G3756 he will not G5339 spare G1722 in G2250 the day G2920 of judgment.
  35 G3756 He will not G465.1 bargain G3762 for any G3083 ransom G3588   G2189 of his hatred, G3762.1 nor G1262 part G4183 by many G1435 gifts.

  1 G5207 O son, G5442 keep G1699 my G3056 words, G3588   G1161 and G1699 my G1785 commandments G2928 hide G3844 for G4572 yourself!
  2 G5207 O son, G5091 esteem G3588 the G2962 lord! G2532 and G2480 you shall strengthen; G4133 and besides G1161   G1473 him, G3361 do not G5399 fear G243 another! G5442 Keep G1699 my G1785 commandments! G2532 and G980 you shall spend life; G3588   G1161 and G1699 my G3056 words G5618 as if G2880.1 the pupil G3659 of your eyes.
  3 G4060 Put them on G1473   G4674 your G1147 fingers, G1924 and inscribe them G1161   G1909 upon G3588 the G4114 width G3588   G2588 of your heart! G1473  
  4 G2036 Speak G3588   G4678 wisdom G4674 [2your G79 3sister G1510.1 1to be]; G3588   G1161 and G5428 [3intelligence G1107.1 4as an acquaintance G4046 1procure G4572 2to yourself]!
  5 G2443 that G1473 she should keep you G5083   G575 from G1135 [4woman G245 1 the strange G2532 2and G4190 3wicked], G1437 if G1473 [2words for you G3056   G3588   G4314 3for G5484 4favor G1685 1she should put].
  6 G575 For from G1063   G2376 the window G1537 of G3588   G3624 her house G1473   G1519 [2into G3588 3the G4113 4squares G3879 1she leans]
  7 G3739 at whom G302 ever G1492 she should behold G3588 of the G878 foolish G5043 offspring -- G3494 a young man G1729 lacking G5424 of sense,
  8 G3899 passing G1722 by G1137 the corner G1722 in G1353.1 the corridors G3624 of her houses, G1473   G2980 speaking
  9 G1722 in G4655 darkness G2073.1 during the evening, G2259 when G302 ever G2271 all is at rest G3563.1 nightly, G2228 or G2532 also G1105.2 at dimness.
  10 G3588 And the G1161   G1135 woman G4876 meets with G1473 him G1491 [2 the appearance G2192 1having] G4204.1 of a harlot, G3739 which G4160 makes G3501 [2of young men G1837.6 3to flutter G2588 1 the heart].
  11 G379.2 [3inciting G1161 1And G1510.2.3 2she is] G2532 and G810.1 carnal, G1722 [5in G3624 6 her house G1161 1and G3756 3do not G2270 4stay still G3588   G4228 2her feet]. G1473  
  12 G5550 [3time G1063 1For G5100 2at certain G1854 5outside G4480.2 4she strays], G5550 and another time G1161   G1722 [2in G4113 3 the squares G3844 4by G3956 5every G1137 6corner G1748 1she lies in wait].
  13 G1534 Then, G1949 taking hold, G5368 she fondles G1473 him; G335.1 and with impudent G1161   G4383 face G4332.2 she says to G1473 him,
  14 G2378 [3sacrifice G1516 2a peace G1473 4with me G1510.2.3 1There is], G4594 today G591 I render G3588   G2171 my vows. G1473  
  15 G1752 Because of G3778 this G1831 I come forth G1519 for G4877 meeting G1473 you; G4159.1 feeling the absence G3588   G4674 of your G4383 face G2147 I have found G1473 you.
  16 G2750 In trimming, G5037.1 I have stretched G3588   G2825 my bed. G1473   G295.1 [2spreads G1294.2 1I spread] G3588   G575 from G* Egypt.
  17 G1283.2 I have sprinkled G3588   G2845 my bed G1473   G2924.3 with saffron, G3588   G1161 and G3624 my house G1473   G2792 with cinnamon.
  18 G2064 Come! G2532 for G619.1 we should enjoy G5373 friendship G2193 until G3722 dawn. G1204 Come, G2532 for G1470.3 we should wrap up in G2064.2 passion.
  19 G3756 [3 is not G1063 1For G3918 4at hand G3588   G435 2my husband] G1473   G1722 in G3624 the house; G4198 he has gone G3598 [2way G3117 1a long],
  20 G1734.3 [2a bundle G694 3of silver G2983 1taking] G1722 in G5495 his hands; G1473   G1223 for only after G2250 [2days G4183 1many] G1880.1 will he come back again G1519 to G3588   G3624 his house. G1473  
  21 G635 [2she led 4astray G1161 1And G1473 3him] G4183 with much G3657 companionship, G1029 [2with nooses G5037 1and also]. G3588 By the things G575 from G5491 her lips G1841.3 she led him aground. G1473  
  22 G3588   G1161 And G1872 he followed after G1473 her, G2761.1 being easily led on, G5618 and as G1161   G1016 an ox G1909 [2unto G4967 3slaughter G71 1 is led], G2532 and G5618 as G2965 a dog G1909 to G1199 bonds, G2532 and G5613 as G1643.1 a stag G5114.1 shot with a bow,
  23 G4141 striking G1519 into G3588 the G2259.2 liver; G4692 and he hastens G1161   G5618 as G3732 a fowl G1519 into G3803 a snare, G3756 not G1492 seeing G3754 that G4012 [2for G5590 3his life G5143 1he runs].
  24 G3568 Now G3767 then, G5207 O son, G191 hear G1473 me, G2532 and G4337 take heed G4487 to the sayings G4750 of my mouth! G1473  
  25 G3361 Do not G1578 turn aside G1519 to G3588   G3598 her ways G1473   G3588 with G2588 your heart! G1473   G2532 and G3361 you should not be misled G4105   G1722 by G824.2 her short-cuts. G1473  
  26 G4183 [3many G1063 1For G5103.1 4in piercing G2598 2she has thrown down], G2532 and G382 innumerable G1510.2.6 are G3739 whom G5407 she has murdered.
  27 G3598 [2 is the ways G86 3of Hades G3588   G3624 1Her house]; G1473   G2609 they lead down G1519 into G3588 the G5009 storerooms G3588   G2288 of death.

new(i)
  20 H1121 My son, H5341 [H8798] keep H1 thy father's H4687 commandment, H5203 [H8799] and forsake H8451 not the law H517 of thy mother:
  21 H7194 [H8798] Bind H8548 them continually H3820 upon thine heart, H6029 [H8798] and tie H1621 them about thy neck.
  22 H1980 [H8692] When thou goest, H5148 [H8686] it shall lead H7901 [H8800] thee; when thou sleepest, H8104 [H8799] it shall keep H6974 [H8689] thee; and when thou awakest, H7878 [H8799] it shall talk with thee.
  23 H4687 For the commandment H5216 is a lamp; H8451 and the law H216 is light; H8433 and reproofs H4148 of instruction H1870 are the way H2416 of life:
  24 H8104 [H8800] To keep H7451 thee from the evil H802 woman, H2513 from the flattery H3956 of the tongue H5237 of an adulteress woman.
  25 H2530 [H8799] Desire H3308 not after her beauty H3824 in thine heart; H3947 [H8799] neither let her take H6079 thee with her eyelids.
  26 H1157 For by means of H2181 H802 [H8802] an harlot H3603 a man is brought to a piece H3899 of bread: H802 H376 and the adulteress H6679 [H8799] will hunt H3368 for the precious H5315 breath.
  27 H376 Can a man H2846 [H8799] take H784 fire H2436 in his bosom, H899 and his clothes H8313 [H8735] not be burned?
  28 H376 Can one H1980 [H8762] go H1513 upon hot coals, H7272 and his feet H3554 [H8735] not be burned?
  29 H935 [H8802] So he that goeth in H7453 to his neighbour's H802 wife; H5060 [H8802] whoever toucheth H5352 [H8735] her shall not be innocent.
  30 H936 [H8799] Men do not despise H1590 a thief, H1589 [H8799] if he stealeth H4390 [H8763] to satisfy H5315 his breath H7456 [H8799] when he is hungry;
  31 H4672 [H8738] But if he is found, H7999 [H8762] he shall restore H7659 sevenfold; H5414 [H8799] he shall give H1952 all the substance H1004 of his house.
  32 H5003 [H8802] But whoever committeth adultery H802 with a woman H2638 lacketh H3820 heart: H6213 [H8799] he that doeth H7843 [H8688] it decayeth H5315 his own breath.
  33 H5061 A wound H7036 and dishonour H4672 [H8799] shall he get; H2781 and his reproach H4229 [H8735] shall not be wiped away.
  34 H7068 For jealousy H2534 is the hot anger H1397 of a man: H2550 [H8799] therefore he will not spare H3117 in the day H5359 of vengeance.
  35 H5375 H6440 [H8799] He will not regard H3724 any ransom; H14 [H8799] neither will he rest content, H7235 [H8686] though thou givest many H7810 gifts.

  1 H1121 My son, H8104 [H8798] keep H561 my words, H6845 [H8799] and lay up H4687 my commandments with thee.
  2 H8104 [H8798] Keep H4687 my commandments, H2421 [H8798] and live; H8451 and my law H380 as the pupil H5869 of thine eye.
  3 H7194 [H8798] Bind H676 them upon thy fingers, H3789 [H8798] write H3871 them upon the table H3820 of thine heart.
  4 H559 [H8798] Say H2451 to wisdom, H269 Thou art my sister; H7121 [H8799] and call H998 understanding H4129 thy kinswoman:
  5 H8104 [H8800] That they may keep H2114 [H8801] thee from the strange H802 woman, H5237 from the foreigner H2505 [H8689] which flattereth H561 with her words.
  6 H2474 For at the window H1004 of my house H8259 [H8738] I looked H822 through my casement,
  7 H7200 [H8799] And beheld H6612 among the simple ones, H995 [H8799] I discerned H1121 among the youths, H5288 a young man H2638 void H3820 of heart,
  8 H5674 [H8802] Passing through H7784 the street H681 near H6434 her corner; H6805 [H8799] and he went H1870 the way H1004 to her house,
  9 H5399 In the twilight, H3117 H6153 in the evening, H380 in the black H653 and dark H3915 night:
  10 H7125 [H8800] And, behold, there met H802 him a woman H7897 with the attire H2181 [H8802] of an harlot, H5341 [H8803] and subtil H3820 of heart.
  11 H1993 [H8802] (She is loud H5637 [H8802] and stubborn; H7272 her feet H7931 [H8799] abide H1004 not in her house:
  12 H6471 Now H2351 is she outside, H6471 now H7339 in the streets, H693 [H8799] and lieth in wait H681 at H6438 every corner.)
  13 H2388 [H8689] So she caught H5401 [H8804] him, and kissed H5810 [H8689] him, and with a stout H6440 face H559 [H8799] said to him,
  14 H8002 I have peace H2077 offerings H3117 with me; this day H7999 [H8765] have I paid H5088 my vows.
  15 H3318 [H8804] Therefore I came forth H7125 [H8800] to meet H7836 [H8763] thee, diligently to seek H6440 thy face, H4672 [H8799] and I have found thee.
  16 H7234 [H8804] I have decked H6210 my bed H4765 with coverings H2405 of tapestry, with carved H330 works, with fine linen H4714 of Egypt.
  17 H5130 [H8804] I have perfumed H4904 my bed H4753 with myrrh, H174 aloes, H7076 and cinnamon.
  18 H3212 [H8798] Come, H7301 [H8799] let us take our fill H1730 of love H1242 until the morning: H5965 [H8691] let us solace H159 ourselves with loves.
  19 H376 For my husband H1004 is not at home, H1980 [H8804] he is gone H7350 a long H1870 journey:
  20 H3947 [H8804] He hath taken H6872 a bag H3701 of money H3027 with him, H935 [H8799] and will come H1004 home H3117 at the day H3677 of the full moon.
  21 H7230 With her much H3948 fair speech H5186 [H8689] she caused him to yield, H2506 with the flattering H8193 of her lips H5080 [H8686] she seduced him.
  22 H1980 [H8802] He goeth H310 after H6597 her quickly, H7794 as an ox H935 [H8799] goeth H2874 to the slaughter, H191 or as a fool H4148 to the correction H5914 of the stocks;
  23 H2671 Till an arrow H6398 [H8762] striketh H3516 through his liver; H6833 as a bird H4116 [H8763] hasteth H6341 to the snare, H3045 [H8804] and knoweth H5315 not that it is for his breath.
  24 H8085 [H8798] Now therefore hearken H1121 to me, O ye sons, H7181 [H8685] and prick up thine ear H561 to the words H6310 of my mouth.
  25 H3820 Let not thine heart H7847 [H8799] decline H1870 to her ways, H8582 [H8799] go not astray H5410 in her paths.
  26 H5307 [H8689] For she hath cast down H7227 many H2491 wounded: H6099 yea, many strong H2026 [H8803] men have been slain by her.
  27 H1004 Her house H1870 is the way H7585 to the grave, H3381 [H8802] going down H2315 to the chambers H4194 of death.

Clementine_Vulgate(i) 20 [Conserva, fili mi, præcepta patris tui, et ne dimittas legem matris tuæ. 21 Liga ea in corde tuo jugiter, et circumda gutturi tuo. 22 Cum ambulaveris, gradiantur tecum; cum dormieris, custodiant te: et evigilans loquere cum eis. 23 Quia mandatum lucerna est, et lex lux, et via vitæ increpatio disciplinæ: 24 ut custodiant te a muliere mala, et a blanda lingua extraneæ. 25 Non concupiscat pulchritudinem ejus cor tuum, nec capiaris nutibus illius: 26 pretium enim scorti vix est unius panis, mulier autem viri pretiosam animam capit. 27 Numquid potest homo abscondere ignem in sinu suo, ut vestimenta illius non ardeant? 28 aut ambulare super prunas, ut non comburantur plantæ ejus? 29 sic qui ingreditur ad mulierem proximi sui, non erit mundus cum tetigerit eam. 30 Non grandis est culpa cum quis furatus fuerit: furatur enim ut esurientem impleat animam; 31 deprehensus quoque reddet septuplum, et omnem substantiam domus suæ tradet. 32 Qui autem adulter est, propter cordis inopiam perdet animam suam; 33 turpitudinem et ignominiam congregat sibi, et opprobrium illius non delebitur: 34 quia zelus et furor viri non parcet in die vindictæ, 35 nec acquiescet cujusquam precibus, nec suscipiet pro redemptione dona plurima.] 7 1 [Fili mi, custodi sermones meos, et præcepta mea reconde tibi. Fili, 2 serva mandata mea, et vives; et legem meam quasi pupillam oculi tui: 3 liga eam in digitis tuis, scribe illam in tabulis cordis tui. 4 Dic sapientiæ: Soror mea es, et prudentiam voca amicam tuam: 5 ut custodiant te a muliere extranea, et ab aliena quæ verba sua dulcia facit. 6 De fenestra enim domus meæ per cancellos prospexi, 7 et video parvulos; considero vecordem juvenem, 8 qui transit per plateam juxta angulum et prope viam domus illius graditur: 9 in obscuro, advesperascente die, in noctis tenebris et caligine. 10 Et ecce occurrit illi mulier ornatu meretricio, præparata ad capiendas animas: garrula et vaga, 11 quietis impatiens, nec valens in domo consistere pedibus suis; 12 nunc foris, nunc in plateis, nunc juxta angulos insidians. 13 Apprehensumque deosculatur juvenem, et procaci vultu blanditur, dicens: 14 Victimas pro salute vovi; hodie reddidi vota mea: 15 idcirco egressa sum in occursum tuum, desiderans te videre, et reperi. 16 Intexui funibus lectulum meum; stravi tapetibus pictis ex Ægypto: 17 aspersi cubile meum myrrha, et aloë, et cinnamomo. 18 Veni, inebriemur uberibus, et fruamur cupitis amplexibus donec illucescat dies. 19 Non est enim vir in domo sua: abiit via longissima: 20 sacculum pecuniæ secum tulit; in die plenæ lunæ reversurus est in domum suam. 21 Irretivit eum multis sermonibus, et blanditiis labiorum protraxit illum. 22 Statim eam sequitur quasi bos ductus ad victimam, et quasi agnus lasciviens, et ignorans quod ad vincula stultus trahatur: 23 donec transfigat sagitta jecur ejus, velut si avis festinet ad laqueum, et nescit quod de periculo animæ illius agitur. 24 Nunc ergo, fili mi, audi me, et attende verbis oris mei. 25 Ne abstrahatur in viis illius mens tua, neque decipiaris semitis ejus; 26 multos enim vulneratos dejecit, et fortissimi quique interfecti sunt ab ea. 27 Viæ inferi domus ejus, penetrantes in interiora mortis.]
Wycliffe(i) 20 Mi sone, kepe the comaundementis of thi fadir; and forsake not the lawe of thi modir. 21 Bynde thou tho continueli in thin herte; and cumpasse `to thi throte. 22 Whanne thou goist, go tho with thee; whanne thou slepist, kepe tho thee; and thou wakynge speke with tho. 23 For the comaundement of God is a lanterne, and the lawe is liyt, and the blamyng of techyng is the weie of lijf; 24 `that the comaundementis kepe thee fro an yuel womman, and fro a flaterynge tunge of a straunge womman. 25 Thin herte coueite not the fairnesse of hir; nether be thou takun bi the signes of hir. 26 For the prijs of an hoore is vnnethe of o loof; but a womman takith the preciouse soule of a man. 27 Whether a man mai hide fier in his bosum, that hise clothis brenne not; 28 ethir go on colis, and hise feet be not brent? 29 So he that entrith to the wijf of his neiybore; schal not be cleene, whanne he hath touchid hir. 30 It is not greet synne, whanne a man stelith; for he stelith to fille an hungri soule. 31 And he takun schal yelde the seuenthe fold; and he schal yyue al the catel of his hous, and schal delyuere hym silf. 32 But he that is avouter; schal leese his soule, for the pouert of herte. 33 He gaderith filthe, and sclaundrith to hym silf; and his schenschip schal not be don awei. 34 For the feruent loue and strong veniaunce of the man schal not spare in the dai of veniaunce, 35 nether schal assente to the preieris of ony; nether schal take ful many yiftis for raunsum. 7 1 Mi sone, kepe thou my wordis; and kepe myn heestis to thee. Sone, onoure thou the Lord, and thou schalt be `myyti; but outakun hym drede thou not an alien. 2 Kepe thou myn heestis, and thou schalt lyue; and my lawe as the appil of thin iyen. 3 Bynde thou it in thi fyngris; write thou it in the tablis of thin herte. 4 Seie thou to wisdom, Thou art my sistir; and clepe thou prudence thi frendesse. 5 That it kepe thee fro a straunge womman; and fro an alien womman, that makith hir wordis swete. 6 For whi fro the wyndow of myn hous bi the latijs Y bihelde; and Y se litle children. 7 I biholde a yong man coward, 8 that passith bi the stretis, bisidis the corner; and he 9 goith niy the weie of hir hous in derk tyme, whanne the dai drawith to niyt, in the derknessis and myst of the nyyt. 10 And lo! a womman, maad redi with ournement of an hoore to disseyue soulis, meetith hym, and sche is a ianglere, and goynge about, 11 and vnpacient of reste, and mai not stonde in the hous with hir feet; 12 and now without forth, now in stretis, now bisidis corneris sche `aspieth. 13 And sche takith, and kissith the yong man; and flaterith with wowynge cheer, and seith, Y ouyte sacrifices for heelthe; 14 to dai Y haue yolde my vowis. 15 Therfor Y yede out in to thi meetyng, and Y desiride to se thee; and Y haue founde thee. 16 Y haue maad my bed with coordis, Y haue arayed with tapetis peyntid of Egipt; 17 Y haue bispreynt my bed with myrre, and aloes, and canel. 18 Come thou, be we fillid with tetis, and vse we collyngis that ben coueitid; til the dai bigynne to be cleer. 19 For myn hosebonde is not in his hows; he is goon a ful long weie. 20 He took with hym a bagge of money; he schal turne ayen in to his hous in the dai of ful moone. 21 Sche boonde hym with many wordis; and sche drow forth hym with flateryngis of lippis. 22 Anoon he as an oxe led to slayn sacrifice sueth hir, and as a ioli lomb and vnkunnynge; and the fool woot not, that he is drawun to bondys, 23 til an arowe perse his mawe. As if a brid hastith to the snare; and woot not, that it is don of the perel of his lijf. 24 Now therfor, my sone, here thou me; and perseyue the wordis of my mouth. 25 Lest thi soule be drawun awei in the weies of hir; nether be thou disseyued in the pathis of hir. 26 For sche castide doun many woundid men; and alle strongeste men weren slayn of hir. 27 The weies of helle is hir hous; and persen in to ynnere thingis of deeth.
Coverdale(i) 20 My sonne, kepe thy fathers comaundemetes, & forsake not ye lawe of thy mother. 21 Put the vp together in thine herte, and bynde the aboute thy necke. 22 That they maye lede the where thou goest, preserue the when thou art aslepe, & yt when thou awakest, thou mayest talke of the 23 (For the commaundement is a lanterne, and the lawe a light: yee chastenynge & nurtoure is ye waye of life) 24 that they maye kepe the fro the euell woman, & from the flaterynge tonge of the harlott: 25 yt thou lust not after her beuty in thine herte, & lest thou be take wt hir fayre lokes. 26 An harlot wil make a ma to begg his bred, but a maried woman wil hunt for ye precious life. 27 Maye a man take fyre in his bosome, and his clothes not be brent? 28 Or can one go vpon hote coales, and his fete not be hurte? 29 Euen so, who so euer goeth in to his neghbours wife, and toucheth her, can not be vngiltie. 30 Men do not vtterly despyse a thefe, that stealeth to satisfie his soule, when he is hongerie: 31 but yf he maye be gotten, he restoreth agayne seuen tymes asmoch, or els he maketh recompence with all the good of his house. 32 But who so comitteth aduoutrie with a woma, he is a foole, and bryngeth his life to destruccion. 33 He getteth him self also shame & dishonor, soch as shal neuer be put out. 34 For the gelousy & wrath of the ma will not be itreated, 35 no though thou woldest ofre him greate giftes to make amendes, he will not receaue them. 7 1 My sonne, kepe my wordes, & laye vp my comaundemetes by the. 2 Kepe my comaundemetes & my lawe, eue as the aple of thine eye, & thou shalt lyue. 3 Bynde them vpon thy fyngers, & wryte the in the table of thine hert. 4 Saye vnto wysdome: thou art my sister, and call vnderstondinge thy kynswoman: 5 that she maye kepe ye fro ye strauge woma, & fro ye harlot which geueth swete wordes. 6 For out of the wyndowe of my house I loked thorow the trelies, 7 & behelde the simple people: & amonge other yonge folkes I spyed one yonge foole 8 goinge ouer the stretes, by the corner in the waye towarde the harlottes house 9 in the twylight of of the euenynge, when it begane now to be night and darcke. 10 And beholde, there mett him a woma in an harlottes apparell 11 (a disceatfull, waton & an vnstedfast woma: whose fete coude not abyde in ye house, 12 now is she without, now i ye stretes, & lurketh i euery corner) 13 she caught ye yoge ma, kyssed him & was not ashamed, sayege: 14 I had a vowe to paye, & this daye I perfourme it. 15 Therfore came I forth to mete the, that I might seke thy face, and so I haue founde the. 16 I haue deckte my bed with coueringes & clothes of Egipte. 17 My bed haue I made to smell of Myrre, Aloes and Cynamom. 18 Come, let vs lye together, & take oure pleasure till it be daye light. 19 For the good man is not at home, he is gone farre of. 20 He hath taken the bagg of moneye with him, who can tell whe he cometh home? 21 Thus with many swete wordes she ouercame him, and with hir flateringe lippes she wanne him. 22 Immediatly he foloweth her, as it were an oxeled to the slaughter (and like as it were to the stockes, where fooles are punyshed) 23 so longe till she hath wounded his lyuer with hir darte: like as yf a byrde haisted to the snare, not knowinge that the parell of his life lyeth there vpo. 24 Heare me now therfore (o my sonne) and marcke the wordes of my mouth. 25 Let not thine herte wandre in hir wayes, & be not thou disceaued in hir pathes. 26 For many one hath she wouded and cast downe, yee many a stronge ma hath she slayne. 27 Hir house is the waye vnto hell, where men go downe to the chambers of death.
MSTC(i) 20 My son, keep thy father's commandments, and forsake not the law of thy mother. 21 Put them up together in thine heart, and bind them about thy neck. 22 That they may lead thee where thou goest, preserve thee when thou art asleep, and that when thou awakest, thou mayest talk of them. 23 For the commandment is a lantern, and the law a light: yea, chastening and nurture is the way of life: 24 that they may keep thee from the evil woman, and from the flattering tongue of the harlot: 25 that thou lust not after her beauty in thine heart, and lest thou be taken with her fair looks. 26 A harlot will make a man to beg his bread, but a married woman will hunt for the precious life. 27 May a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burnt? 28 Or can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be hurt? 29 Even so, whosoever goeth in to his neighbour's wife, and toucheth her, can not be unguilty. 30 Men do not utterly despise a thief, that stealeth to satisfy his soul, when he is hungry: 31 But if he may be gotten, he restoreth again seven times as much, or else he maketh recompense with all the goods of his house. 32 But whoso committeth adultery with a woman, he is a fool: and destroyeth his own soul. 33 He getteth himself also shame and dishonour, such as shall never be put out. 34 For the jealousy and wrath of the man will not be intreated; 35 no, though thou wouldest offer him great gifts to make amends, he will not receive them. 7 1 My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments by thee. 2 Keep my commandments and my law, even as the apple of thine eye, and thou shalt live. 3 Bind them upon thy fingers, write them in the table of thine heart. 4 Say unto wisdom, "Thou art my sister," and call understanding thy kinswoman: 5 That she may keep thee from the strange woman, and from the harlot which giveth sweet words. 6 For out of the window of my house I looked through the trellis, 7 and beheld the simple people: and among other young folks I spied one young fool 8 going over the streets, by the corner, in the way toward the harlot's house; 9 in the twilight of the evening, when it began now to be night and dark. 10 And behold, there met him a woman with open tokens of a harlot. Only her heart was hid. 11 She was full of loud words and ready to dally: whose feet could not abide in the house. 12 Now is she without, now in the streets, and lurketh in every corner. 13 She caught the young man, kissed him, and was not ashamed, saying, 14 "I had a vow to pay, and this day I perform it. 15 Therefore came I forth to meet thee, that I might seek thy face, and so I have found thee. 16 I have decked my bed with coverings and clothes of Egypt. 17 My bed have I made to smell of Myrrh, Aloes, and Cinnamon. 18 Come, let us lie together, and take our pleasure till it be daylight. 19 For the goodman is not at home, he is gone far off. 20 He hath taken the bag of money with him: who can tell when he cometh home?" 21 Thus with many sweet words she overcame him, and with her flattering lips she enticed him 22 suddenly to follow her - as it were an ox to the slaughter, and like as it were a fool that laugheth when he goeth to the stocks to be punished - 23 so long till she hath wounded his liver with her dart: like as if a bird hasted to the snare, not knowing that the peril of his life lieth thereupon. 24 Hear me now therefore, O my son, and mark the words of my mouth. 25 Let not thine heart wander in her ways, and be thou not deceived in her paths. 26 For many a one hath she wounded and cast down, yea many a strong man hath she slain. 27 Her houses are the way to hell, where men go down into the chambers of death.
Matthew(i) 20 My son kepe thy fathers commandementes, and forsake not the law of thy mother. 21 Put them vp together in thine herte, and bind them about the neck. 22 That they may leade the where thou goest, preserue the when thou art a sleape, and that when thou awakest, thou maiest talke of them 23 For the commaundement is a lanterne, and the lawe a lyghtie, a chastening, and nurtour is the waye of lyfe: 24 that they maye kepe the from the euell woman, and from the flattering tong of the harlot: 25 that thou lust not after he beuty in thine herte, & lest thou be taken wt her fayre lokes. 26 An harlot will make a man to begge his breade, but a maried woman wyl hunte for the precyous lyfe. 27 May a man take fyre in his bosome and his clothes not be brent? 28 Or can one go vpon hoate coales, & hys fete not be hurte? 29 Euen so, whosoeuer goeth into hys neyghbours wyfe, and toucheth her can not be vngilty. 30 Men do not vtterly despise a thefe that stealeth to satisfye hys soule, when he is hongry: 31 but if he may be gotten, he restoreth agayne seuen tymes as muche, or els he maketh recompense with al the good of his house 32 But who so comitteth aduoutry wyth a womanne, he is a fole, and bringeth hys lyfe to destruccyon. 33 He getteth him selfe also shame & dishonour, such as shal neuer be put out. 34 For the gelousy and wrath of the man wil not be intreated, 35 no though thou woldest offer him greate giftes to make amendes, he wyll not receiue them. 7 1 My sonne, kepe my wordes, and lay vp my commaundements by the. 2 Kepe my commaundementes and my lawe, euen as the apple of thyne eie, and thou shalt liue. 3 Bind them vpon thy fingers, and wryte them in the table of thyne herte. 4 Saye vnto wysdome: thou art my sister, and cal vnderstandyng thy kynswoman: 5 that she may kepe the from the starnge woman, and from the harlot which geueth swete wordes, 6 For out of the window of my house I loked thorow the trealesse, 7 & beheld the simple people: and among other yong folkes I spyed one yonge fole 8 going ouer the stretes, by the corner in the way toward the harlots house 9 in the twylight of the euening, when it beganne now to be nyght and darke. 10 And beholde, ther met him a woman in an harlots apparel, 11 a dysceatful, wanton & vnstedfast woman: whose fet could not abide in the house, 12 now is she without, now in the stretes, lurketh in euery corner, 13 she caught the yonge man, kyssed hym, & was not ashamed, sayinge: 14 I had a vowe to paye, & thys daye I perfourme it. 15 Therfore came I forth to mete the, that I mighte seke thy face, and so I haue founde the. 16 I haue deckte my bed with couerynges & clothes of Egypte. 17 My bed haue I made to smell of myrre, Aloes, and Cynamon. 18 Come let vs lye together, and take our pleasure tyll it be daye lyghte. 19 For the good man is not at home, he is gone farre of. 20 He hath taken the bagge of money with hym: who can tell when he commeth home? 21 Thus with many swete woordes she ouercome hym, and with her flatteryng lippes she wanne hym. 22 Immediatly he folowed her, as it were an oxe led to the slaughter (& lyke as it were to the stockes, where foles are punyshed) 23 so longe tyll she had wounded hys lyuer with her dart: like as if a byrde hasted to the snare not knowyng that the parell of his lyfe lieth therupon. 24 Heare me now therfore (O my sonne) and marke the wordes of my mouth. 25 Let not thyne herte wandre in her wayes, & be not thou disceyued in her pathes. 26 For many one hath she wounded and cast doune yea, many a stronge man hath she slayne. 27 Her house is the waye vnto hell, where men go doune into the chambers of death.
Great(i) 20 My sonne, kepe thy fathers commaundement, and forsake not the lawe of thy mother. 21 Put them vp together in thyne herte, and bynde them aboute thy neck. 22 That they may leade the where thou goest, preserue the when thou art a slepe, and that when thou awakest, thou mayest talke of them. 23 For the commaundement is a lanterne, and the lawe a lyght: yee chastenyng and nourtoure is the waye of lyfe 24 that they may kepe the from the euell woman, and from the flatteryng tonge of the harlote: 25 that thou lust not after her beauty in thyne herte, and lest thou be taken with her fayre lookes. 26 An harlot wyll make a man to begge his bread, and a woman wyll hunt for the precyous lyfe. 27 Maye a man take fyre in hys bosome and hys clothes not be brent? 28 Or can one go vpon hote coales, and hys fete not be hurte? 29 Euen so, whosoeuer goeth into his neyghbours wyfe, and toucheth her, cannot be vngylty. 30 Men do not vtterly despyse a thefe that stealeth to satisfye hys soule, when he is hungry: 31 but yf he maye be gotten, he restoreth agayne seuen tymes as moche, or els he maketh recompense with all the good of hys house. 32 But whoso committeth aduoutry with a woman, he is a foole and bryngeth his lyfe to destruction. 33 He getteth hym selfe also shame and dishonour, soche as shall neuer be put out. 34 For the gelousy and wrath of the man wyll not be intreated, 35 no though thou woldest offre him great gyftes to make amendes, he will not receaue them. 7 1 My sonne, kepe my wordes, & laye vp my commaundementes by the. 2 Kepe my commaundementes and my lawe, euen as the apple of thyne eye, and thou shalt lyue. 3 Bynde them vpon thy fyngers, and wryte them in the table of thyne hert. 4 Saye vnto wysdome: thou art my syster, and call vnderstandynge thy kynswoman: 5 that they maye kepe the from the straunge woman, and from the harlot which geueth swete wordes. 6 For out of the wyndowe of my house I loked thorowe the latysse, 7 & behelde the symple people: and amonge other yonge folkes I spyed one yonge foole, 8 goinge ouer the stretes, by the corner in the waye towarde the harlottes house, 9 in the twylight of the euenynge, when it beganne nowe to be nyght & darcke. 10 And beholde, there mett hym a woman wt open tokens of an harlot, onely her herte was hyde, 11 She was full of loude wordes, & redy to daly: whose fete coulde not abyde in the house, 12 nowe is the without, now in the stretes, and layeth abayte in euery corner, 13 she caught the yongeman, kyssed hym, and was not ashamed, sayinge: 14 I had a vowe of peace offerynges to paye, and thys daye I perfourme it. 15 Therfore came I forth to mete the, that I myght seke thy face, and so I haue founde the. 16 I haue deckte my bed with couerynges and clothes of Egypte. 17 My bed haue I made to smell of Mirre, Aloes, and Cynamon. 18 Come lett vs ly together, and take oure pleasure tyll it be daye lyght: and we wyll enioye the pleasures of loue. 19 For the good man is not at home, he is gone farre of. 20 He hath taken the bagge of moneye with hym: And will retourne home at the appoynted solempne feste? 21 Thus with many swete wordes she ouercame him, and with her flatterynge lyppes she entysed hym 22 sodenlye to folowe her: as it were an oxe led to the slaughter, & lyke as it were a foole that laugheth when he goeth to the stockes, to be punyshed, 23 so longe tyll she had wounded hys lyuer with her dart: lyke as yf a byrde hasted to the snare, not knowynge that the parell of hys lyfe lyeth ther vpon. 24 Heare me nowe therfore, O my chyldren, and marcke the wordes of my mouth. 25 Let not thyne herte wandre in her wayes, and be not thou disceaued in her pathes. 26 For many one hath she wounded and cast downe, yee many a stronge man hath bene slayne by the meanes of her. 27 Her houses are the waye vnto hell, and brynge men downe into the chambers of death.
Geneva(i) 20 My sonne, keepe thy fathers commandement, and forsake not thy mothers instruction. 21 Binde them alway vpon thine heart, and tye them about thy necke. 22 It shall leade thee, when thou walkest: it shall watch for thee, when thou sleepest, and when thou wakest, it shall talke with thee. 23 For the commandement is a lanterne, and instruction a light: and corrections for instruction are the way of life, 24 To keepe thee from the wicked woman, and from ye flatterie of ye tongue of a strange woman. 25 Desire not her beautie in thine heart, neither let her take thee with her eye lids. 26 For because of the whorish woman a man is brought to a morsell of bread, and a woman wil hunt for the precious life of a man. 27 Can a man take fire in his bosome, and his clothes not be burnt? 28 Or can a man go vpon coales, and his feete not be burnt? 29 So he that goeth in to his neighbours wife, shall not be innocent, whosoeuer toucheth her. 30 Men do not despise a thiefe, when he stealeth, to satisfie his soule, because he is hungrie. 31 But if he be founde, he shall restore seuen folde, or he shall giue all the substance of his house. 32 But he that committeth adulterie with a woman, he is destitute of vnderstanding: he that doeth it, destroyeth his owne soule. 33 He shall finde a wounde and dishonour, and his reproch shall neuer be put away. 34 For ielousie is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance. 35 He cannot beare the sight of any raunsome: neither will he consent, though thou augment the giftes. 7 1 My sonne, keepe my wordes, and hide my commandements with thee. 2 Keepe my commandements, and thou shalt liue, and mine instruction as the apple of thine eyes. 3 Binde them vpon thy fingers, and write them vpon the table of thine heart. 4 Say vnto wisedome, Thou art my sister: and call vnderstanding thy kinswoman, 5 That they may keepe thee from the strange woman, euen from the stranger that is smoothe in her wordes. 6 As I was in the window of mine house, I looked through my windowe, 7 And I sawe among the fooles, and considered among the children a yong man destitute of vnderstanding, 8 Who passed through the streete by her corner, and went toward her house, 9 In the twilight in the euening, when the night began to be blacke and darke. 10 And beholde, there met him a woman with an harlots behauiour, and subtill in heart. 11 (She is babling and loud: whose feete can not abide in her house. 12 Nowe she is without, nowe in the streetes, and lyeth in waite at euery corner) 13 So she caught him and kissed him and with an impudent face said vnto him, 14 I haue peace offerings: this day haue I payed my vowes. 15 Therefore came I forth to meete thee, that I might seeke thy face: and I haue found thee. 16 I haue deckt my bed with ornaments, carpets and laces of Egypt. 17 I haue perfumed my bedde with myrrhe, aloes, and cynamom. 18 Come, let vs take our fill of loue vntill the morning: let vs take our pleasure in daliance. 19 For mine husband is not at home: he is gone a iourney farre off. 20 He hath taken with him a bagge of siluer, and will come home at the day appointed. 21 Thus with her great craft she caused him to yeelde, and with her flattering lips she entised him. 22 And he followed her straight wayes, as an oxe that goeth to the slaughter, and as a foole to the stockes for correction, 23 Till a dart strike through his liuer, as a bird hasteth to the snare, not knowing that he is in danger. 24 Heare me now therefore, O children, and hearken to the wordes of my mouth. 25 Let not thine heart decline to her wayes: wander thou not in her paths. 26 For shee hath caused many to fall downe wounded, and the strong men are all slaine by her. 27 Her house is the way vnto ye graue, which goeth downe to the chambers of death.

DouayRheims(i) 20 My son, keep the commandments of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother. 21 Bind them in thy heart continually, and put them about thy neck. 22 When thou walkest, let them go with thee: when thou sleepest, let them keep thee, and when thou awakest, talk with them. 23 Because the commandment is a lamp, and the law a light, and reproofs of instruction are the way of life: 24 That they may keep thee from the evil woman, and from the flattering tongue of the stranger. 25 Let not thy heart covet her beauty, be not caught with her winks: 26 For the price of a harlot is scarce one loaf: but the woman catcheth the precious soul of a man. 27 Can a man hide fire in his bosom, and his garments not burn? 28 Or can he walk upon hot coals, and his feet not be burnt? 29 So he that goeth in to his neighbour's wife, shall not be clean when he shall touch her. 30 The fault is not so great when a man hath stolen: for he stealeth to fill his hungry soul: 31 And if he be taken, he shall restore sevenfold, and shall give up all the substance of his house. 32 But he that is an adulterer, for the folly of his heart shall destroy his own soul: 33 He gathereth to himself shame and dishonour, and his reproach shall not be blotted out: 34 Because the jealousy and rage of the husband will not spare in the day of revenge, 35 Nor will he yield to any man's prayers, nor will he accept for satisfaction ever so many gifts. 7 1 My son, keep my words, and lay up my precepts with thee. Son, 2 Keep my commandments, and thou shalt live: and my law as the apple of thy eye: 3 Bind it upon thy fingers, write it upon the tables of thy heart. 4 Say to wisdom: Thou art my sister: and call prudence thy friend, 5 That she may keep thee from the woman that is not thine, and from the stranger who sweeteneth her words. 6 For I looked out of the window of my house through the lattice, 7 And I see little ones, I behold a foolish young man, 8 Who passeth through the street by the corner, and goeth nigh the way of her house, 9 In the dark when it grows late, in the darkness and obscurity of the night. 10 And behold a woman meeteth him in harlot's attire, prepared to deceive souls: talkative and wandering, 11 Not bearing to be quiet, not able to abide still at home, 12 Now abroad, now in the streets, now lying in wait near the corners. 13 And catching the young man, she kisseth him, and with an impudent face, flattereth, saying: 14 I vowed victims for prosperity, this day I have paid my vows. 15 Therefore I am come out to meet thee, desirous to see thee, and I have found thee. 16 I have woven my bed with cords, I have covered it with painted tapestry, brought from Egypt. 17 I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. 18 Come, let us be inebriated with the breasts, and let us enjoy the desired embraces, till the day appear. 19 For my husband is not at home, he is gone a very long journey. 20 He took with him a bag of money: he will return home the day of the full moon. 21 She entangled him with many words, and drew him away with the flattery of her lips. 22 Immediately he followeth her as an ox led to be a victim, and as a lamb playing the wanton, and not knowing that he is drawn like a fool to bonds, 23 Till the arrow pierce his liver: as if a bird should make haste to the snare, and knoweth not that his life is in danger. 24 Now, therefore, my son, hear me, and attend to the words of my mouth. 25 Let not thy mind be drawn away in her ways: neither be thou deceived with her paths. 26 For she hath cast down many wounded, and the strongest have been slain by her. 27 Her house is the way to hell, reaching even to the inner chambers of death.

  11 H1993 (She is loud [H8802]   H5637 and stubborn [H8802]   H7272 ; her feet H7931 abide [H8799]   H1004 not in her house:
  12 H6471 Now H2351 is she without H6471 , now H7339 in the streets H693 , and lieth in wait [H8799]   H681 at H6438 every corner.)
  13 H2388 So she caught [H8689]   H5401 him, and kissed [H8804]   H5810 him, and with an impudent [H8689]   H6440 face H559 said [H8799]   unto him,
  14 H8002 I have peace H2077 offerings H3117 with me; this day H7999 have I payed [H8765]   H5088 my vows.
  15 H3318 Therefore came I forth [H8804]   H7125 to meet [H8800]   H7836 thee, diligently to seek [H8763]   H6440 thy face H4672 , and I have found [H8799]   thee.
  16 H7234 I have decked [H8804]   H6210 my bed H4765 with coverings H2405 of tapestry, with carved H330 works, with fine linen H4714 of Egypt.
  17 H5130 I have perfumed [H8804]   H4904 my bed H4753 with myrrh H174 , aloes H7076 , and cinnamon.
  18 H3212 Come [H8798]   H7301 , let us take our fill [H8799]   H1730 of love H1242 until the morning H5965 : let us solace [H8691]   H159 ourselves with loves.
  19 H376 For the goodman H1004 is not at home H1980 , he is gone [H8804]   H7350 a long H1870 journey:
  20 H3947 He hath taken [H8804]   H6872 a bag H3701 of money H3027 with him H935 , and will come [H8799]   H1004 home H3117 at the day H3677 appointed.
  21 H7230 With her much H3948 fair speech H5186 she caused him to yield [H8689]   H2506 , with the flattering H8193 of her lips H5080 she forced [H8686]   him.
  22 H1980 He goeth [H8802]   H310 after H6597 her straightway H7794 , as an ox H935 goeth [H8799]   H2874 to the slaughter H191 , or as a fool H4148 to the correction H5914 of the stocks;
  23 H2671 Till a dart H6398 strike [H8762]   H3516 through his liver H6833 ; as a bird H4116 hasteth [H8763]   H6341 to the snare H3045 , and knoweth [H8804]   H5315 not that it is for his life.
  24 H8085 Hearken [H8798]   H1121 unto me now therefore, O ye children H7181 , and attend [H8685]   H561 to the words H6310 of my mouth.
  25 H3820 Let not thine heart H7847 decline [H8799]   H1870 to her ways H8582 , go not astray [H8799]   H5410 in her paths.
  26 H5307 For she hath cast down [H8689]   H7227 many H2491 wounded H6099 : yea, many strong H2026 men have been slain [H8803]   by her.
  27 H1004 Her house H1870 is the way H7585 to hell H3381 , going down [H8802]   H2315 to the chambers H4194 of death.
Thomson(i) 20 My son, keep the laws of thy father, and reject not the maxims of thy mother. 21 Bind them continually on thy mind: and tie them as a chain around thy neck. 22 When thou walkest, take this along and let it be with thee: and when thou sleepest, let it guard thee; that when thou awakest, it may talk with thee. 23 For the command of a law is a lamp and light; and reproof and instruction is the way of life, 24 to keep thee from a married woman; and from the flattering tongue of a strange woman. 25 Let not a lust for beauty overcome thee: be not captivated by thine eyes, nor ensnared by her eyelids. 26 For the price of a harlot is scarce that of a single loaf; but an adulteress hunteth for the precious lives of men. 27 Can any one put fire in his bosom and not burn his clothes? 28 Or can one walk on coals of fire and not burn his feet? 29 So he who goeth in, to a married woman, cannot escape punishment; no, nor any one who toucheth her. 30 It exciteth no wonder, if one be caught stealing; for a hungry man stealeth to satisfy his soul; 31 but if he be caught, he is to pay seven fold; and by giving all that he hath, he will deliver himself. 32 But he, who through want of understanding, committeth adultery, provideth destruction for his soul. 33 He suffereth pangs and dishonour; and his reproach can never be wiped away. 34 For the rage of her husband being full of jealousy, will not spare in the day of vengeance; 35 nor will he abate his enmity for any ransom; nor be appeased by many gifts. 7 1 My son keep my words and lay up my commandments with thee. My son, honor the Lord and thou shall be strong; but besides him, fear no other. 2 Keep my commandments, that thou mayst live; and my words as the apple of thine eye. 3 Bind them about thy fingers, and write them on the table of thy heart. 4 Implore Wisdom to be thy sister, and make Understanding thine acquaintance: 5 that she may keep thee from a strange and wicked woman, in case she, with alluring words should attack thee. 6 For through a lattice she looketh out of her house into the streets; 7 and if among the simple youths she chanceth to see a young man, void of understanding, 8 walking near a corner in the passages to her house, 9 and talking in the twilight, when the evening is still and duskish: 10 then this woman, who maketh the hearts of young men flutter, meeteth him, in the attire of a harlot. 11 Indeed she is ever on the wing and insatiable, and her feet abide not at home. 12 For sometimes she roveth abroad: and sometimes lieth in wait in the streets, at every corner. 13 Ha! she hath caught him and kissed him, and with an unblushing countenance, said to him: 14 "I have a peace offering; today I am paying my vows: 15 for this reason I came out to meet thee: earnestly longing to see thee. 16 I have found thee. With cords I have stretched my bed, and decked it with tapestry from Egypt. 17 I have perfumed my bed with saffron, and my house with cinnamon: 18 come, and let us take our fill of love till the morning: come and let us solace ourselves with love. 19 For my husband is not at home, he is gone a long journey; 20 he took in his hand a roll of silver, and will return to his house after many days." 21 So with much fawning discourse she led him astray; and with the flattery of her lips inveigled him. 22 And he is gone after her, attracted by her; as an ox is led to slaughter, or as a dog to be chained: or like a deer pierced through the liver with a dart. 23 And he hasteth like a bird to a snare; not knowing that he is running the risk of his life. 24 Now therefore ray son hearken to me; and attend to the words of my mouth. 25 Let not thy heart turn aside to her ways: 26 for she hath wounded and brought down many; and innumerable are they whom she hath slain. 27 Her house is the highway to Hades, leading down to the chambers of death.
Webster(i) 20 My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother: 21 Bind them continually upon thy heart, and tie them about thy neck. 22 When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee. 23 For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life: 24 To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman. 25 Lust not after her beauty in thy heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids. 26 For by means of a lewd woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life. 27 Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned? 28 Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned? 29 So he that goeth in to his neighbor's wife; whoever toucheth her shall not be innocent. 30 Men do not despise a thief, if he stealeth to satisfy his soul when he is hungry; 31 But if he is found, he shall restore seven-fold; he shall give all the substance of his house. 32 But whoever committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul. 33 A wound and dishonor shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away. 34 For jealousy is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance. 35 He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts. 7 1 My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee. 2 Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thy eye. 3 Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thy heart. 4 Say to wisdom, Thou art my sister; and call understanding thy kinswoman: 5 That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger which flattereth with her words. 6 For at the window of my house I looked through my casement, 7 And beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding, 8 Passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house. 9 In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night: 10 And behold, there met him a woman with the attire of a harlot, and subtil of heart. 11 (She is loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house: 12 Now is she without, now in the streets, and lieth in wait at every corner.) 13 So she caught him, and kissed him, and with an impudent face said to him, 14 I have peace-offerings with me; this day have I paid my vows. 15 Therefore I came forth to meet thee, diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee. 16 I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with carved works, with fine linen of Egypt. 17 I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. 18 Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning: let us solace ourselves with loves. 19 For the good-man is not at home, he is gone a long journey: 20 He hath taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at the day appointed. 21 With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she impelled him. 22 He goeth after her quickly, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks; 23 Till a dart striketh through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life. 24 Now therefore hearken to me, O ye children, and attend to the words of my mouth. 25 Let not thy heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths. 26 For she hath cast down many wounded: yes, many strong men have been slain by her. 27 Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death.
Webster_Strongs(i)
  20 H1121 My son H5341 [H8798] , keep H1 thy father's H4687 commandment H5203 [H8799] , and forsake H8451 not the law H517 of thy mother:
  21 H7194 [H8798] Bind H8548 them continually H3820 upon thy heart H6029 [H8798] , and tie H1621 them about thy neck.
  22 H1980 [H8692] When thou goest H5148 [H8686] , it shall lead H7901 [H8800] thee; when thou sleepest H8104 [H8799] , it shall keep H6974 [H8689] thee; and when thou awakest H7878 [H8799] , it shall talk with thee.
  23 H4687 For the commandment H5216 is a lamp H8451 ; and the law H216 is light H8433 ; and reproofs H4148 of instruction H1870 are the way H2416 of life:
  24 H8104 [H8800] To keep H7451 thee from the evil H802 woman H2513 , from the flattery H3956 of the tongue H5237 of an adulteress woman.
  25 H2530 [H8799] Lust H3308 not after her beauty H3824 in thy heart H3947 [H8799] ; neither let her take H6079 thee with her eyelids.
  26 H1157 For by means of H2181 H802 [H8802] an harlot H3603 a man is brought to a piece H3899 of bread H802 H376 : and the adulteress H6679 [H8799] will hunt H3368 for the precious H5315 life.
  27 H376 Can a man H2846 [H8799] take H784 fire H2436 in his bosom H899 , and his clothes H8313 [H8735] not be burned?
  28 H376 Can one H1980 [H8762] go H1513 upon hot coals H7272 , and his feet H3554 [H8735] not be burned?
  29 H935 [H8802] So he that goeth in H7453 to his neighbour's H802 wife H5060 [H8802] ; whoever toucheth H5352 [H8735] her shall not be innocent.
  30 H936 [H8799] Men do not despise H1590 a thief H1589 [H8799] , if he stealeth H4390 [H8763] to satisfy H5315 his soul H7456 [H8799] when he is hungry;
  31 H4672 [H8738] But if he is found H7999 [H8762] , he shall restore H7659 sevenfold H5414 [H8799] ; he shall give H1952 all the substance H1004 of his house.
  32 H5003 [H8802] But whoever committeth adultery H802 with a woman H2638 lacketh H3820 understanding H6213 [H8799] : he that doeth H7843 [H8688] it destroyeth H5315 his own soul.
  33 H5061 A wound H7036 and dishonour H4672 [H8799] shall he get H2781 ; and his reproach H4229 [H8735] shall not be wiped away.
  34 H7068 For jealousy H2534 is the rage H1397 of a man H2550 [H8799] : therefore he will not spare H3117 in the day H5359 of vengeance.
  35 H5375 H6440 [H8799] He will not regard H3724 any ransom H14 [H8799] ; neither will he rest content H7235 [H8686] , though thou givest many H7810 gifts.

  1 H1121 My son H8104 [H8798] , keep H561 my words H6845 [H8799] , and lay up H4687 my commandments with thee.
  2 H8104 [H8798] Keep H4687 my commandments H2421 [H8798] , and live H8451 ; and my law H380 as the apple H5869 of thy eye.
  3 H7194 [H8798] Bind H676 them upon thy fingers H3789 [H8798] , write H3871 them upon the table H3820 of thy heart.
  4 H559 [H8798] Say H2451 to wisdom H269 , Thou art my sister H7121 [H8799] ; and call H998 understanding H4129 thy kinswoman:
  5 H8104 [H8800] That they may keep H2114 H802 [H8801] thee from the adulteress H5237 , from the stranger H2505 [H8689] which flattereth H561 with her words.
  6 H2474 For at the window H1004 of my house H8259 [H8738] I looked H822 through my casement,
  7 H7200 [H8799] And beheld H6612 among the simple ones H995 [H8799] , I discerned H1121 among the youths H5288 , a young man H2638 void H3820 of understanding,
  8 H5674 [H8802] Passing through H7784 the street H681 near H6434 her corner H6805 [H8799] ; and he went H1870 the way H1004 to her house,
  9 H5399 In the twilight H3117 H6153 , in the evening H380 , in the black H653 and dark H3915 night:
  10 H7125 [H8800] And, behold, there met H802 him a woman H7897 with the attire H2181 [H8802] of an harlot H5341 [H8803] , and subtil H3820 of heart.
  11 H1993 [H8802] (She is loud H5637 [H8802] and stubborn H7272 ; her feet H7931 [H8799] abide H1004 not in her house:
  12 H6471 Now H2351 is she outside H6471 , now H7339 in the streets H693 [H8799] , and lieth in wait H681 at H6438 every corner.)
  13 H2388 [H8689] So she caught H5401 [H8804] him, and kissed H5810 [H8689] him, and with an impudent H6440 face H559 [H8799] said to him,
  14 H8002 I have peace H2077 offerings H3117 with me; this day H7999 [H8765] have I paid H5088 my vows.
  15 H3318 [H8804] Therefore I came forth H7125 [H8800] to meet H7836 [H8763] thee, diligently to seek H6440 thy face H4672 [H8799] , and I have found thee.
  16 H7234 [H8804] I have decked H6210 my bed H4765 with coverings H2405 of tapestry, with carved H330 works, with fine linen H4714 of Egypt.
  17 H5130 [H8804] I have perfumed H4904 my bed H4753 with myrrh H174 , aloes H7076 , and cinnamon.
  18 H3212 [H8798] Come H7301 [H8799] , let us take our fill H1730 of love H1242 until the morning H5965 [H8691] : let us solace H159 ourselves with loves.
  19 H376 For my husband H1004 is not at home H1980 [H8804] , he is gone H7350 a long H1870 journey:
  20 H3947 [H8804] He hath taken H6872 a bag H3701 of money H3027 with him H935 [H8799] , and will come H1004 home H3117 at the day H3677 appointed.
  21 H7230 With her much H3948 fair speech H5186 [H8689] she caused him to yield H2506 , with the flattering H8193 of her lips H5080 [H8686] she seduced him.
  22 H1980 [H8802] He goeth H310 after H6597 her quickly H7794 , as an ox H935 [H8799] goeth H2874 to the slaughter H191 , or as a fool H4148 to the correction H5914 of the stocks;
  23 H2671 Till an arrow H6398 [H8762] striketh H3516 through his liver H6833 ; as a bird H4116 [H8763] hasteth H6341 to the snare H3045 [H8804] , and knoweth H5315 not that it is for his life.
  24 H8085 [H8798] Now therefore hearken H1121 to me, O ye children H7181 [H8685] , and attend H561 to the words H6310 of my mouth.
  25 H3820 Let not thy heart H7847 [H8799] decline H1870 to her ways H8582 [H8799] , go not astray H5410 in her paths.
  26 H5307 [H8689] For she hath cast down H7227 many H2491 wounded H6099 : yea, many strong H2026 [H8803] men have been slain by her.
  27 H1004 Her house H1870 is the way H7585 to hell H3381 [H8802] , going down H2315 to the chambers H4194 of death.
Brenton(i) 20 My son, keep the laws of thy father, and reject not the ordinances of thy mother: 21 but bind them upon thy soul continually, and hang them as a chain about thy neck. 22 Whensoever thou walkest, lead this along and let it be with thee; that it may talk with thee when thou wakest. 23 For the commandment of the law is a lamp and a light; a way of life; reproof also and correction: 24 to keep thee continually from a married woman, and from the calumny of a strange tongue. 25 Let not the desire of beauty overcome thee, neither be thou caught by thine eyes, neither be captivated with her eyelids. 26 For the value of a harlot is as much as of one loaf; and a woman hunts for the precious souls of men. 27 Shall any one bind fire in his bosom, and not burn his garments? 28 or will any one walk on coals of fire, and not burn his feet? 29 So is he that goes in to a married woman; he shall not be held guiltless, neither any one that touches her. 30 It is not to be wondered at if one should be taken stealing, for he steals that when hungry he may satisfy his soul: 31 but if he should be taken, he shall repay sevenfold, and shall deliver himself by giving all his goods. 32 But the adulterer through want of sense procures destruction to his soul. 33 He endures both pain and disgrace, and his reproach shall never be wiped off. 34 For the soul of her husband is full of jealousy: he will not spare in the day of vengeance. 35 He will not forego his enmity for any ransom: neither will he be reconciled for many gifts. 7 1 My son, keep my words, and hide with thee my commandments. (7:2) My son, honour the Lord, and thou shalt be strong; and fear none but him: 2 keep my commandments, and thou shalt live; and keep my words as the pupils of thine eyes. 3 And bind them on thy fingers, and write them on the table of thine heart. 4 Say that wisdom is thy sister, and gain prudence as an acquaintance for thyself; 5 that she may keep thee from the strange and wicked woman, if she should assail thee with flattering words. 6 For she looks from a window out of her house into the streets, at one whom she may see of the senseless ones, a young man void of understanding, 7 passing by the corner in the passages near her house, 8 and speaking, in the dark of the evening, 9 when there happens to be the stillness of night and of darkness: 10 and the woman meets him having the appearance of a harlot, that causes the hearts of young men to flutter. 11 And she is fickle, and debauched, and her feet abide not at home. 12 For at one time she wanders without, and at another time she lies in wait in the streets, at every corner. 13 Then she caught him, and kissed him, and with an impudent face said to him, 14 I have a peace-offering; today I pay my vows: 15 therefore I came forth to meet thee, desiring thy face; and I have found thee. 16 I have spread my bed with sheets, and I have covered it with double tapestry from Egypt. 17 I have sprinkled my couch with saffron, and my house with cinnamon. 18 Come, and let us enjoy love until the morning; come, and let us embrace in love. 19 For my husband is not at home, but is gone on a long journey, 20 having taken in his hand a bundle of money: after many days he will return to his house. 21 So with much converse she prevailed on him to go astray, and with the snares of her lips forced him from the right path. 22 And he followed her, being gently led on, and that as an ox is led to the slaughter, and as a dog to bonds, or as a hart shot in the liver with an arrow: 23 and he hastens as a bird into a snare, not knowing that he is running for his life. 24 Now then, my son, hearken to me, and attend to the words of my mouth. 25 Let not thine heart turn aside to her ways: 26 for she has wounded and cast down many, and those whom she has slain are innumerable. 27 Her house is the way of hell, leading down to the chambers of death.

7 1 Υἱὲ, φύλασσε ἐμοὺς λόγους, τὰς δὲ ἐμὰς ἐντολὰς κρύψον παρὰ σεαυτῷ. Υἱέ, τίμα τὸν Κύριον καὶ ἰσχύσεις, πλὴν δὲ αὐτοῦ μὴ φοβοῦ ἄλλον· 2 Φύλαξον ἐμὰς ἐντολάς καὶ βιώσεις, τοὺς δὲ ἐμοὺς λόγους ὥσπερ κόρας ὀμμάτων. 3 Περίθου δὲ αὐτοὺς σοῖς δακτύλοις, ἐπίγραψον δὲ ἐπὶ τὸ πλάτος τῆς καρδίας σου.
4 Εἶπον τὴν σοφίαν σὴν ἀδελφὴν εἶναι, τὴν δὲ φρόνησιν γνώριμον περιποίησαι σεαυτῷ. 5 Ἵνα σε τηρήσῃ ἀπὸ γυναικὸς ἀλλοτρίας καὶ πονηρᾶς, ἐάν σε λόγοις τοῖς πρὸς χάριν ἐμβάλληται.
6 Ἀπὸ γὰρ θυρίδος ἐκ τοῦ οἴκου αὐτῆς εἰς τὰς πλατείας παρακύπτουσα, 7 ὃν ἂν ἴδῃ τῶν ἀφρόνων τέκνων νεανίαν ἐνδεῆ φρενῶν, 8 παραπορευόμενον παρὰ γωνίαν ἐν διόδοις οἴκων αὐτῆς, καὶ λαλοῦντα 9 ἐν σκότει ἑσπερινῷ, ἡνίκα ἂν ἡσυχία νυκτερινὴ ᾖ καὶ γνοφώδης, 10 ἡ δὲ γυνὴ συναντᾷ αὐτῷ, εἶδος ἔχουσα πορνικόν, ἣ ποιεῖ νέων ἐξίπτασθαι καρδίας. 11 Ἀνεπτερωμένη δέ ἐστι καὶ ἄσωτος, ἐν οἴκῳ δὲ οὐχ ἡσυχάζουσιν οἱ πόδες αὐτῆς. 12 Χρόνον γάρ τινα ἔξω ρέμβεται, χρόνον δὲ ἐν πλατείαις παρὰ πᾶσαν γωνίαν ἐνεδρεύει. 13 Εἶτα ἐπιλαβομένη ἐφίλησεν αὐτόν, ἀναιδεῖ δὲ προσώπῳ προσεῖπεν αὐτῷ, 14 Θυσία εἰρηνική μοί ἐστι, σήμερον ἀποδίδωμι τὰς εὐχάς μου. 15 Ἕνεκα τούτου ἐξῆλθον εἰς συνάντησίν σοι, ποθοῦσα τὸ σὸν πρόσωπον, εὕρηκά σε. 16 Κειρίαις τέτακα τὴν κλίνην μου, ἀμφιτάποις δὲ ἔστρωκα τοῖς ἀπʼ Αἰγύπτου. 17 Διέῤῥακα τὴν κοίτην μου κροκίνῳ, τὸν δὲ οἶκόν μου κινναμώμῳ. 18 Ἐλθὲ καὶ ἀπολαύσωμεν φιλίας ἕως ὄρθρου, δεῦρο καὶ ἐγκυλισθῶμεν ἔρωτι. 19 Οὐ γὰρ πάρεστιν ὁ ἀνήρ μου ἐν οἴκῳ, πεπόρευται δὲ ὁδὸν μακρὰν, 20 ἔνδεσμον ἀργυρίου λαβὼν ἐν χειρὶ αὐτοῦ, διʼ ἡμερῶν πολλῶν ἐπανήξει εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ.
21 Ἀπεπλάνησε δὲ αὐτὸν πολλῇ ὁμιλίᾳ, βρόχοις τε τοῖς ἀπὸ χειλέων ἐξώκειλεν αὐτόν. 22 Ὁ δὲ ἐπηκολούθησεν αὐτῇ κεπφωθείς· ὥσπερ δὲ βοῦς ἐπὶ σφαγὴν ἄγεται, καὶ ὥσπερ κύων ἐπὶ δεσμοὺς, 23 ἢ ὡς ἔλαφος τοξεύματι πεπληγὼς εἰς τὸ ἧπαρ· σπεύδει δὲ ὥσπερ ὄρνεον εἰς παγίδα, οὐκ εἰδὼς ὅτι περὶ ψυχῆς τρέχει.
24 Νῦν οὖν υἱέ ἄκουέ μου, καὶ πρόσεχε ῥήμασι στόματός μου. 25 Μὴ ἐκκλινάτω εἰς τὰς ὁδοὺς αὐτῆς ἡ καρδία σου, 26 πολλοὺς γὰρ τρώσασα καταβέβληκε, καὶ ἀναρίθμητοί εἰσιν οὓς πεφόνευκεν. 27 Ὁδοὶ ᾅδου ὁ οἶκος αὐτῆς, κατάγουσαι εἰς τὰ ταμιεῖα τοῦ θανάτου.
Leeser(i) 20 Keep, O my son, the commandment of thy father, and reject not the teaching of thy mother: 21 Bind them upon thy heart continually, tie them about thy throat. 22 When thou walkest, it shall lead thee; when thou liest down, it shall watch over thee; and when thou art awake, it shall converse with thee. 23 For the commandment is a lamp, and the law is light; and the way of life are the admonitions of correction: 24 To guard thee against a bad woman, from the flattery of an alien tongue. 25 Covet not her beauty in thy heart, and let her not conquer thee with her eyelids. 26 For by means of a harlot one is brought down to the last loaf of bread: and an adulterous woman will even hunt for the precious life, 27 Can a man gather up fire in his lap, and shall his clothes not be burnt? 28 Can a man walk along upon hot coals, and shall his feet not be burnt? 29 So it is with him that goeth in to his neighbor’s wife: no one that toucheth her shall remain unpunished. 30 Men do not despise the thief, if he steal, to gratify his craving when he is hungry: 31 And if he be found, he must pay sevenfold; all the wealth his house must he give. 32 But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh sense: he that is the destroyer of his soul, will alone do this. 33 Plague and disgrace will he meet with; and his reproach will not be blotted out. 34 For jealousy is the fury of a husband, and he will not spare on the day of vengeance. 35 He will not regard the appearance of any ransom; and he will not be content, though thou give ever so many bribes. 7 1 My son, observe my sayings, and my commandments must thou treasure up with thee. 2 Observe my commandments, and live: and my teaching as the apple of thy eyes. 3 Bind them around thy fingers, write them upon the table of thy heart. 4 Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister; and call understanding thy kinswoman: 5 That they may keep thee from an adulterous woman, from an alien that useth flattering speeches. 6 For through the window of my house, through my lattice did I once look out, 7 And I beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a lad void of sense; 8 He was passing through the market-place near her corner; and he stepped along on the way to her house, 9 In the twilight, in the evening of the day, in the depth of the night and when it was dark: 10 And, behold, a woman came to meet him with the attire of a harlot, and obdurate of heart. 11 (She is noisy and ungovernable; in her house her feet never rest; 12 At one time she is in the street, at another in the open places, and near every corner doth she lurk,) 13 And she caught hold of him, and kissed him, and with an impudent face she said to him, 14 “I had bound myself to bring peace-offerings; this day have I paid my vows: 15 Therefore am I come forth to meet thee, to seek thy presence diligently, and I have found thee. 16 With tapestry coverings have I decked my bed, with embroidered coverlids of the fine linen of Egypt. 17 I have sprinkled my couch with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. 18 Come, let us indulge in love until the morning: let us delight ourselves with dalliances. 19 For the man is not in his house, he is gone on a journey a great way off: 20 The bag of money hath he taken with him, by the day of the new-moon festival only will he come home.” 21 She seduced him by the abundance of her reasoning: by the flattery of her lips she misguided him. 22 He followed after her suddenly, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, and as in fetters to his correction, the fool: 23 Till an arrow cleaveth through his liver; as a bird hasteneth into the snare, and knoweth not that it is done to take his life. 24 And now, O children, hearken unto me, and listen to the sayings of my mouth. 25 Let not thy heart turn aside to her ways, do not go astray on her paths. 26 For many deadly wounded hath she caused to fall: yea, very numerous are all those slain by her. 27 The ways to the nether world is her house leading down to the chambers of death.
YLT(i) 20 Keep, my son, the command of thy father, And leave not the law of thy mother. 21 Bind them on thy heart continually, Tie them on thy neck. 22 In thy going up and down, it leadeth thee, In thy lying down, it watcheth over thee, And thou hast awaked—it talketh with thee. 23 For a lamp is the command, And the law a light, And a way of life are reproofs of instruction, 24 To preserve thee from an evil woman, From the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman. 25 Desire not her beauty in thy heart, And let her not take thee with her eyelids. 26 For a harlot consumeth unto a cake of bread, And an adulteress the precious soul hunteth. 27 Doth a man take fire into his bosom, And are his garments not burnt? 28 Doth a man walk on the hot coals, And are his feet not scorched? 29 So is he who hath gone in unto the wife of his neighbour, None who doth touch her is innocent. 30 They do not despise the thief, When he stealeth to fill his soul when he is hungry, 31 And being found he repayeth sevenfold, All the substance of his house he giveth. 32 He who committeth adultery with a woman lacketh heart, He is destroying his soul who doth it. 33 A stroke and shame he doth find, And his reproach is not wiped away, 34 For jealousy is the fury of a man, And he doth not spare in a day of vengeance. 35 He accepteth not the appearance of any atonement, Yea, he doth not consent, Though thou dost multiply bribes!
7 1 My son! keep my sayings, And my commands lay up with thee. 2 Keep my commands, and live, And my law as the pupil of thine eye. 3 Bind them on thy fingers, Write them on the tablet of thy heart. 4 Say to wisdom, `My sister Thou art .' And cry to understanding, `Kinswoman!' 5 To preserve thee from a strange woman, From a stranger who hath made smooth her sayings.
6 For, at a window of my house, Through my casement I have looked out, 7 And I do see among the simple ones, I discern among the sons, A young man lacking understanding, 8 Passing on in the street, near her corner, And the way to her house he doth step, 9 In the twilight—in the evening of day, In the darkness of night and blackness. 10 And, lo, a woman to meet him—(A harlot's dress, and watchful of heart, 11 Noisy she is, and stubborn, In her house her feet rest not. 12 Now in an out-place, now in broad places, And near every corner she lieth in wait) — 13 And she laid hold on him, and kissed him, She hath hardened her face, and saith to him, 14 `Sacrifices of peace-offerings are by me, To-day I have completed my vows. 15 Therefore I have come forth to meet thee, To seek earnestly thy face, and I find thee. 16 With ornamental coverings I decked my couch, Carved works—cotton of Egypt. 17 I sprinkled my bed—myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. 18 Come, we are filled with loves till the morning, We delight ourselves in loves. 19 For the man is not in his house, He hath gone on a long journey. 20 A bag of money he hath taken in his hand, At the day of the new moon he cometh to his house.' 21 She turneth him aside with the abundance of her speech, With the flattery of her lips she forceth him. 22 He is going after her straightway, As an ox unto the slaughter he cometh, And as a fetter unto the chastisement of a fool, 23 Till an arrow doth split his liver, As a bird hath hastened unto a snare, And hath not known that it is for its life.
24 And now, ye sons, hearken to me, And give attention to sayings of my mouth. 25 Let not thy heart turn unto her ways, Do not wander in her paths, 26 For many are the wounded she caused to fall, And mighty are all her slain ones. 27 The ways of Sheol—her house, Going down unto inner chambers of death!
JuliaSmith(i) 20 My son, watch the commands of thy father, and thou shalt not reject the laws of thy mother: 21 Tie them always upon thy heart; bind them upon thy throat 22 In thy going about it shall lead thee; in thy lying down it shall watch over thee; and awaking, it shall speak to thee. 23 For the command is a lamp, and the law a light; and the way of life the reproof of instruction: 24 To watch thee from the woman of evil, from the smoothness of the strange tongue. 25 Thou shalt not desire her beauty in thy heart, and she shall not take thee with her eyelashes. 26 For by a woman a harlot, even to a round of bread: and a man's wife will hunt the precious soul. 27 A man taking fire in his bosom, shall his garments not be burnt? 28 If a man shall go upon burning coals shall his feet not be burnt? 29 So he going in to his neighbor's wife; all touching upon her shall not be innocent 30 They will not despise a thief if he shall steal to fill up his soul; for he will be hungry. 31 And being found he shall recompense seven fold; he shall give all the substance of his house. 32 He committing adultery with a woman lacked a heart: destroying his soul he will do it. 33 A blow and contempt shall he find; and his reproach shall not be wiped away. 34 For jealousy is the wrath of man, and he will not spare in the day of vengeance. 35 He will not lift up the face of any ransom, and he will not be willing if thou shalt increase the reward. 7 1 My son, watch my words, and thou shalt hide my commands with thee. 2 Watch my commands, and live; and my law as the pupil of thine eyes. 3 Bind them upon thy fingers, and write them upon the tablet of thine heart 4 Say to wisdom, Thou my sister; and thou shalt call knowledge to understanding: 5 To watch thyself from the strange woman, from the stranger making smooth her sayings. 6 For in the window of my house I looked forth through my lattice, 7 And I shall see among the simple, I shall perceive among the sons a youth wanting heart, 8 Passing in the street near her corner; and he will step the way of her house, 9 In the twilight, in the evening of the day, in the middle of the night, in the thick darkness: 10 And behold, a woman to his meeting, the attire of a harlot, and hidden of heart 11 She being noisy and perverse; her feet will not dwell in her house: 12 One time without, one time in the broad ways; and she will lie in wait near every corner. 13 She laid hold upon him and kissed to him; she strengthened her face, and she will say to him, 14 Sacrifices of peace upon me: today I repaid my vows. 15 For this, I shall come forth to thy meeting, to seek thy face, and I shall find thee. 16 With adornings I spread my bed, variegated with thread of Egypt 17 I sprinkled my bed with myrrh and aloes and cinnamon. 18 Come, we will be satisfied with loves till the morning: we will rejoice ourselves with loves. 19 For the man not in the house, he went in a way far off. 20 He took a bundle of silver in his hand; he will come to his house the day of the full moon. 21 With much of her talking she caused him to turn aside; with the smoothness of her lips she will thrust him away. 22 He went after her suddenly as the ox will go to the slaughter, and as the fetter for the correction of the foolish. 23 Till an arrow shall cleave his liver; as a bird hastening to the snare, and not knowing that it is for his soul. 24 And now, ye sons, hear to me, and attend to the sayings of my mouth. 25 And thy heart shall not deviate to her ways; thou shalt not wander in her beaten paths. 26 For she cast down many wounded, and the strong all being slain by her. 27 Her house the ways to hades, going down to the chambers of death.
Darby(i) 20 My son, observe thy father`s commandment, and forsake not the teaching of thy mother; 21 bind them continually upon thy heart, tie them about thy neck: 22 when thou walkest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and [when] thou awakest, it shall talk with thee. 23 For the commandment is a lamp, and the teaching a light, and reproofs of instruction are the way of life: 24 to keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman. 25 Lust not after her beauty in thy heart, neither let her take thee with her eyelids; 26 for by means of a whorish woman [a man is brought] to a loaf of bread, and another`s wife doth hunt for the precious soul. 27 Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his garments not be burned? 28 Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be scorched? 29 So he that goeth in to his neighbour`s wife: whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent. 30 They do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry: 31 and if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house. 32 Whoso committeth adultery with a woman is void of understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul. 33 A wound and contempt shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away. 34 For jealousy is the rage of a man, and he will not spare in the day of vengeance; 35 he will not regard any ransom, neither will he rest content though thou multipliest [thy] gifts. 7 1 My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee. 2 Keep my commandments, and live; and my teaching, as the apple of thine eye. 3 Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the tablet of thy heart. 4 Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister, and call intelligence [thy] kinswoman: 5 that they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger who flattereth with her words. 6 For at the window of my house, I looked forth through my lattice, 7 and I beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the sons, a young man void of understanding, 8 passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house, 9 in the twilight, in the evening of the day, in the blackness of night and the darkness. 10 And behold, there met him a woman in the attire of a harlot, and subtle of heart. 11 She is clamorous and unmanageable; her feet abide not in her house: 12 now without, now in the broadways, -- and she lieth in wait at every corner. 13 And she caught him and kissed him, and with an impudent face said unto him, 14 I have peace-offerings with me; this day have I paid my vows: 15 therefore came I forth to meet thee, to seek earnestly thy face, and I have found thee. 16 I have decked my bed with tapestry coverlets of variegated linen from Egypt; 17 I have perfumed my couch with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. 18 Come, let us revel in love until the morning, let us delight ourselves with loves. 19 For the husband is not at home, he is gone a long journey; 20 he hath taken the money-bag with him, he will come home on the day of the full moon. 21 With her much enticement she beguiled him; with the smoothness of her lips she constrained him. 22 He went after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, and as stocks [serve] for the correction of the fool; 23 till an arrow strike through his liver: as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for its life. 24 And now, ye sons, hearken unto me, and attend to the words of my mouth. 25 Let not thy heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths: 26 for she hath cast down many wounded, and all slain by her were strong. 27 Her house is the way to Sheol, going down to the chambers of death.
ERV(i) 20 My son, keep the commandment of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother: 21 Bind them continually upon thine heart, tie them about thy neck. 22 When thou walkest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall watch over thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee. 23 For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life: 24 To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the stranger’s tongue. 25 Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids. 26 For on account of a whorish woman [a man is brought] to a piece of bread: and the adulteress hunteth for the precious life. 27 Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned? 28 Or can one walk upon hot coals, and his feet not be scorched? 29 So he that goeth in to his nieghbour’s wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be unpunished. 30 Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry: 31 But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house. 32 He that committeth adultery with a woman is void of understanding: he doeth it that would destroy his own soul. 33 Wounds and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away. 34 For jealousy is the rage of a man; and he will not spare in the day of vengeance. 35 He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts. 7 1 My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee. 2 Keep my commandments and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye. 3 Bind them upon thy fingers; write them upon the table of thine heart. 4 Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister; and call understanding [thy] kinswoman: 5 That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger which flattereth with her words. 6 For at the window of my house I looked forth through my lattice; 7 And I beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding, 8 Passing through the street near her corner, and he went the way to her house; 9 In the twilight, in the evening of the day, in the blackness of night and the darkness. 10 And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot, and wily of heart. 11 She is clamorous, and wilful; her feet abide not in her house: 12 Now she is in the streets, now in the broad places, and lieth in wait at every corner. 13 So she caught him, and kissed him, [and] with an impudent face she said unto him: 14 Sacrifices of peace offerings are with me; this day have I paid my vows. 15 Therefore came I forth to meet thee, diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee. 16 I have spread my couch with carpets of tapestry, with striped cloths of the yarn of Egypt. 17 I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. 18 Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning; let us solace ourselves with loves. 19 For the goodman is not at home, he is gone a long journey: 20 He hath taken a bag of money with him; he will come home at the full moon. 21 With her much fair speech she causeth him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forceth him away. 22 He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as fetters to the correction of the fool; 23 Till an arrow strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life. 24 Now therefore, [my] sons, hearken unto me, and attend to the words of my mouth. 25 Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths. 26 For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, all her slain are a mighty host. 27 Her house is the way to Sheol, going down to the chambers of death.
ASV(i) 20 My son, keep the commandment of thy father,
And forsake not the law of thy mother: 21 Bind them continually upon thy heart;
Tie them about thy neck. 22 When thou walkest, it shall lead thee;
When thou sleepest, it shall watch over thee;
And when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee. 23 For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light;
And reproofs of instruction are the way of life: 24 To keep thee from the evil woman,
From the flattery of the foreigner's tongue. 25 Lust not after her beauty in thy heart;
Neither let her take thee with her eyelids. 26 For on account of a harlot [a man is brought] to a piece of bread;
And the adulteress hunteth for the precious life. 27 Can a man take fire in his bosom,
And his clothes not be burned? 28 Or can one walk upon hot coals,
And his feet not be scorched? 29 So he that goeth in to his neighbor's wife;
Whosoever toucheth her shall not be unpunished. 30 Men do not despise a thief, if he steal
To satisfy himself when he is hungry: 31 But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold;
He shall give all the substance of his house. 32 He that committeth adultery with a woman is void of understanding:
He doeth it who would destroy his own soul. 33 Wounds and dishonor shall he get;
And his reproach shall not be wiped away. 34 For jealousy is the rage of a man;
And he will not spare in the day of vengeance. 35 He will not regard any ransom;
Neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts.
7 1 My son, keep my words,
And lay up my commandments with thee. 2 Keep my commandments and live;
And my law as the apple of thine eye. 3 Bind them upon thy fingers;
Write them upon the tablet of thy heart. 4 Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister;
And call understanding [thy] kinswoman: 5 That they may keep thee from the strange woman,
From the foreigner that flattereth with her words. 6 For at the window of my house
I looked forth through my lattice; 7 And I beheld among the simple ones,
I discerned among the youths,
A young man void of understanding, 8 Passing through the street near her corner;
And he went the way to her house, 9 In the twilight, in the evening of the day,
In the middle of the night and in the darkness. 10 And, behold, there met him a woman
With the attire of a harlot, and wily of heart. 11 (She is clamorous and wilful;
Her feet abide not in her house: 12 Now she is in the streets, now in the broad places,
And lieth in wait at every corner.) 13 So she caught him, and kissed him,
[And] with an impudent face she said unto him: 14 Sacrifices of peace-offerings are with me;
This day have I paid my vows. 15 Therefore came I forth to meet thee,
Diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee. 16 I have spread my couch with carpets of tapestry,
With striped cloths of the yarn of Egypt. 17 I have perfumed my bed
With myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. 18 Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning;
Let us solace ourselves with loves. 19 For the man is not at home;
He is gone a long journey: 20 He hath taken a bag of money with him;
He will come home at the full moon. 21 With her much fair speech she causeth him to yield;
With the flattering of her lips she forceth him along. 22 He goeth after her straightway,
As an ox goeth to the slaughter,
Or as [one in] fetters to the correction of the fool; 23 Till an arrow strike through his liver;
As a bird hasteth to the snare,
And knoweth not that it is for his life.
24 Now therefore, [my] sons, hearken unto me,
And attend to the words of my mouth. 25 Let not thy heart decline to her ways;
Go not astray in her paths. 26 For she hath cast down many wounded:
Yea, all her slain are a mighty host. 27 Her house is the way to Sheol,
Going down to the chambers of death.

  29 H935 So he that goeth in H7453 to his neighbor's H802 wife; H5060 Whosoever toucheth H5352 her shall not be unpunished.
  30 H936 Men do not despise H1590 a thief, H1589 if he steal H4390 To satisfy H5315 himself H7456 when he is hungry:
  31 H4672 But if he be found, H7999 he shall restore H7659 sevenfold; H5414 He shall give H1952 all the substance H1004 of his house.
  32 H5003 He that committeth adultery H802 with a woman H2638 is void H3820 of understanding: H6213 He doeth H7843 it who would destroy H5315 his own soul.
  33 H5061 Wounds H7036 and dishonor H4672 shall he get; H2781 And his reproach H4229 shall not be wiped away.
  34 H7068 For jealousy H2534 is the rage H1397 of a man; H2550 And he will not spare H3117 in the day H5359 of vengeance.
  35 H5375 He will not regard H3724 any ransom; H14 Neither will he rest content, H7235 though thou givest many H7810 gifts.

  1 H1121 My son, H8104 keep H561 my words, H6845 And lay up H4687 my commandments with thee.
  2 H8104 Keep H4687 my commandments H2421 and live; H8451 And my law H380 as the apple H5869 of thine eye.
  3 H7194 Bind H676 them upon thy fingers; H3789 Write H3871 them upon the tablet H3820 of thy heart.
  4 H559 Say H2451 unto wisdom, H269 Thou art my sister; H7121 And call H998 understanding H4129 thy kinswoman:
  5 H8104 That they may keep H2114 thee from the strange H802 woman, H5237 From the foreigner H2505 that flattereth H561 with her words.
  6 H2474 For at the window H1004 of my house H8259 I looked H822 forth through my lattice;
  7 H7200 And I beheld H6612 among the simple ones, H995 I discerned H1121 among the youths, H5288 A young man H2638 void H3820 of understanding,
  8 H5674 Passing through H7784 the street H681 near H6434 her corner; H6805 And he went H1870 the way H1004 to her house,
  9 H5399 In the twilight, H3117 in the evening H380 of the day, In the middle H3915 of the night H653 and in the darkness.
  10 H7125 And, behold, there met H802 him a woman H7897 With the attire H2181 of a harlot, H5341 and wily H3820 of heart.
  11 H1993 (She is clamorous H5637 and wilful; H7272 Her feet H7931 abide H1004 not in her house:
  12 H6471 Now H7339 she is in the streets, H6471 now H7339 in the broad H693 places, And lieth in wait H681 at H6438 every corner.)
  13 H2388 So she caught H5401 him, and kissed H5810 him, And with an impudent H6440 face H559 she said unto him:
  14 H8002 Sacrifices H2077 of peace-offerings H3117 are with me; This day H7999 have I paid H5088 my vows.
  15 H3318 Therefore came I forth H7125 to meet H7836 thee, Diligently to seek H6440 thy face, H4672 and I have found thee.
  16 H7234 I have spread H6210 my couch H4765 with carpets H2405 of tapestry, With striped H330 cloths of the yarn H4714 of Egypt.
  17 H5130 I have perfumed H4904 my bed H4753 With myrrh, H174 aloes, H7076 and cinnamon.
  18 H3212 Come, H7301 let us take our fill H1730 of love H1242 until the morning; H5965 Let us solace H159 ourselves with loves.
  19 H376 For the man H1004 is not at home; H1980 He is gone H7350 a long H1870 journey:
  20 H3947 He hath taken H6872 a bag H3701 of money H3027 with him; H935 He will come H1004 home H3117 at the full H3677 moon.
  21 H7230 With her much H3948 fair speech H5186 she causeth him to yield; H2506 With the flattering H8193 of her lips H5080 she forceth him along.
  22 H1980 He goeth H310 after H6597 her straightway, H7794 As an ox H935 goeth H2874 to the slaughter, H5914 Or as one in fetters H4148 to the correction H191 of the fool;
  23 H2671 Till an arrow H6398 strike H3516 through his liver; H6833 As a bird H4116 hasteth H6341 to the snare, H3045 And knoweth H5315 not that it is for his life.
  24 H1121 Now therefore, my sons, H8085 hearken H7181 unto me, And attend H561 to the words H6310 of my mouth.
  25 H3820 Let not thy heart H7847 decline H1870 to her ways; H8582 Go not astray H5410 in her paths.
  26 H5307 For she hath cast down H7227 many H2491 wounded: H2026 Yea, all her slain H6099 are a mighty host.
  27 H1004 Her house H1870 is the way H7585 to Sheol, H3381 Going down H2315 to the chambers H4194 of death.
JPS_ASV_Byz(i) 20 My son, keep the commandment of thy father, and forsake not the teaching of thy mother; 21 Bind them continually upon thy heart, tie them about thy neck. 22 When thou walkest, it shall lead thee, when thou liest down, it shall watch over thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee. 23 For the commandment is a lamp, and the teaching is light, and reproofs of instruction are the way of life; 24 To keep thee from the evil woman, from the smoothness of the alien tongue. 25 Lust not after her beauty in thy heart; neither let her captivate thee with her eyelids. 26 For on account of a harlot a man is brought to a loaf of bread, but the adulteress hunteth for the precious life. 27 Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned? 28 Or can one walk upon hot coals, and his feet not be scorched? 29 So he that goeth in to his neighbour's wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not go unpunished. 30 Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry; 31 But if he be found, he must restore sevenfold, he must give all the substance of his house. 32 He that committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding; he doeth it that would destroy his own soul. 33 Wounds and dishonour shall he get, and his reproach shall not be wiped away. 34 For jealousy is the rage of a man, and he will not spare in the day of vengeance. 35 He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts. 7 1 My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee. 2 Keep my commandments and live, and my teaching as the apple of thine eye. 3 Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thy heart. 4 Say unto wisdom: 'Thou art my sister', and call understanding thy kinswoman; 5 That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the alien woman that maketh smooth her words. 6 For at the window of my house I looked forth through my lattice; 7 And I beheld among the thoughtless ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding, 8 Passing through the street near her corner, and he went the way to her house; 9 In the twilight, in the evening of the day, in the blackness of night and the darkness. 10 And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of a harlot, and wily of heart. 11 She is riotous and rebellious, her feet abide not in her house; 12 Now she is in the streets, now in the broad places, and lieth in wait at every corner. 13 So she caught him, and kissed him, and with an impudent face she said unto him: 14 'Sacrifices of peace-offerings were due from me; this day have I paid my vows. 15 Therefore came I forth to meet thee, to seek thy face, and I have found thee. 16 I have decked my couch with coverlets, with striped cloths of the yarn of Egypt. 17 I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. 18 Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning; let us solace ourselves with loves. 19 For my husband is not at home, he is gone a long journey; 20 He hath taken the bag of money with him; he will come home at the full moon.' 21 With her much fair speech she causeth him to yield, with the blandishment of her lips she enticeth him away. 22 He goeth after her straightway, as an ox that goeth to the slaughter, or as one in fetters to the correction of the fool; 23 Till an arrow strike through his liver; as a bird hasteneth to the snare - and knoweth not that it is at the cost of his life. 24 Now therefore, O ye children, hearken unto me, and attend to the words of my mouth. 25 Let not thy heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths. 26 For she hath cast down many wounded; yea, a mighty host are all her slain. 27 Her house is the way to the nether-world, going down to the chambers of death.
Rotherham(i) 20 Observe thou, my son, the commandment of thy father, and do not decline from the instruction of thy mother: 21 Bind them upon thy heart continually, fasten them upon thy neck; 22 When thou walkest abroad, it shall guide thee, when thou sleepest, it shall watch over thee, when thou wakest, it shall speak to thee: 23 For, a lamp, is the commandment, and, the instruction, a light, and, the way of life, are the reproofs of correction: 24 To keep thee from the wicked woman, from the flattery of the tongue of her that is a stranger. 25 Do not covet her beauty, in thy heart, neither let her take thee, by her eyelashes; 26 Because, for the sake of an impure woman, [a man may be brought] even to a cake of bread,––and, a man’s wife, for a precious soul, may hunt! 27 Can a man snatch up fire in his bosom, and, his clothes, not be burned? 28 Or can a man walk upon hot coals, and, his feet, not be burned? 29 So, he that goeth in unto his neighbour’s wife, no man shall be guiltless who toucheth her! 30 Men despise not a thief, when he stealeth, to satisfy his appetite, because he is famished; 31 Yet, if found, he must pay back sevenfold, All the substance of his house, must he give: 32 He that committeth adultery with a woman, lacketh sense, A destroyer of his own life, is he that doeth it; 33 Smiting and shame, shall he find, and, his reproach, shall not be wiped out; 34 For, jealousy, is the rage of a man, nor will he spare, in the day of avenging; 35 He will not look, at any ransom, neither will he consent, though thou increase the bribe.
7 1 My son, keep my sayings, and, my commandments, treasure by thee; 2 Keep my commandments and live, and mine instruction, as the pupil of thine eye; 3 Bind them upon thy fingers, write them, on the tablet of thy heart; 4 Say unto wisdom, My sister, thou! and, an acquaintance, call thou, understanding: 5 That thou mayest be kept, from the woman that is a stranger, from the female unknown, who, with her speeches, doth flatter.
6 For, in the window of my house, through my lattice, I looked out; 7 And saw among the simple ones, discerned among the youths, A young man lacking sense; 8 Passing through the street, near her corner, and, on the way to her house, he sauntered along; 9 In the twilight, in the evening of the day, in the midst of the night, and the gloom; 10 And lo! a woman, came to meet him, attired as one unchaste, of a wily heart. 11 Boisterous, is she, and rebellious, In her house, abide not her feet; 12 Now outside, now in the broadways, and, near every corner, she lieth in wait: 13 So she caught him, and kissed him, and, embolding her face, she said to him: 14 Peace–offerings, are by me, today, have I paid my vows; 15 For this cause, came I forth to meet thee, to seek diligently thy face, and I have found thee: 16 Coverlets, have I spread on my couch of pleasure, dark–hued stuffs, of the yarn of Egypt; 17 I have sprinkled my bed, with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon: 18 Come! let us take our fill of endearments, until morning, let us delight ourselves with caresses; 19 For the husband is not in his house, he hath gone on a journey afar; 20 A bag of silver, hath he taken in his hand, On the day of the full moon, will he enter his house. 21 She turneth him aside, with her great persuasiveness,––with the flattery of her lips, she compelleth him: 22 Going after her instantly, as an ox, to the slaughter, he entereth, and, as in fetters, unto the correction of a fool. 23 Until an arrow cleaveth his liver, as a bird hasteth into a snare, and knoweth not, that, for his life, it is!
24 Now, therefore, ye sons, hearken unto me, and attend, to the sayings of my mouth; 25 Let not thy heart, turn aside to her ways, Do not go astray, in her paths. 26 For, many, wounded, hath she caused to fall,––yea strong men, slain wholly by her: 27 Ways to hades, are in her house, descending into the chambers of death.
CLV(i) 20 My son, preserve the instruction of your father, And do not abandon the law of your mother." 21 Tie them upon your heart continually; Wind them about your throat. 22 When you walk about, it shall give you guidance, When you lie down, it shall guard over you, And when you awake, it shall importune you." 23 For instruction is a lamp, and law is a light, And the reproofs of discipline are the way to life, 24 To keep you from the evil woman, From the slick tongue of the foreign woman." 25 Do not covet after her loveliness in your heart, And do not let her captivate you with her eyelids." 26 For a woman of prostitution hunts for a cake of bread, Yet the adulterous wife of a man hunts the precious soul." 27 Can a man bank a fire in his bosom And his garments not be burned? 28 Or can a man walk on embers And his feet not be scorched? 29 So is he who comes to the wife of his associate; Anyone who touches her shall not be held innocent. 30 Men do not despise a thief when he steals In order to fill his soul's needs when he is famishing, 31 Yet when he is found, he shall repay sevenfold Though he must give up all the wealth of his house." 32 But he who commits adultery with another's wife has lack of heart wisdom; He is causing ruin to his soul who does it. 33 Contagion and dishonor shall he find, And his reproach cannot be wiped out;" 34 For jealousy incites the fury of a master, And he shall not spare in the day of vengeance;" 35 He shall not respect any sheltering gift And shall not be willing to relent though you increase the bribe. 7 1 My son, keep my sayings, And store up my instructions within you." 2 Keep my instructions and live, And guard my law as the pupil of your eyes." 3 Tie them on your fingers; Write them on the tablet of your heart. 4 Say to wisdom, You are my sister, And call understanding your near relative, 5 In order to keep you from the strange woman, From the foreign woman who makes her sayings slick." 6 For at the window of my house I gazed out through my latticed oriel, 7 And I saw among the simple, I detected among the sons, A youth who had lack of heart wisdom." 8 He was passing along the road beside her corner, And he stepped the way to her house, 9 In the gloaming at the evening of the day, In the tranquil night and the gloom;" 10 And behold, a woman came out to meet him In the burnoose of a prostitute and constricted of heart." 11 She is clamorous and stubborn; Her feet never tabernacle at her home; 12 At times in the street, at times in the squares, And beside every corner she waits in ambush." 13 She held him fast and kissed him; She set her face with impudence and said to him: 14 The sacrifices of peace offerings were due from me; Today I paid my vows. 15 Therefore, I came forth to meet you, To seek your face early, and I have found you." 16 I have decorated my divan with decorative covers, With bedspreads of Egyptian yarn." 17 I have wafted my bed with myrrh, Aloes and cinnamon." 18 Do come, let us satiate ourselves with affection until the morning; Let us make ourselves joyous with love expressions." 19 For the husband is not in his home; He has gone on his way afar. 20 He took a pouch of silver in his hand, And he shall come back to his home only with the day of full moon." 21 She turned him aside with her great influence; With slick words on her lips she induced him. 22 Suddenly he was going after her, Like a bull that comes to the slaughter, Like a calf to the bonds of foolish creatures, 23 Until an arrow thrusts through his liver, As through a bird that hastened to the snare When it did not know that it was set for its soul." 24 Now then, my sons, hearken to me, And attend to the sayings of my mouth." 25 Do not let your heart swerve to her ways; Do not stray into her tracks. 26 For many are the mortally wounded she has cast down, And plentiful are all those killed by her." 27 Her house is a road to the unseen, One descending to the chambers of death."
BBE(i) 20 My son, keep the rule of your father, and have in memory the teaching of your mother: 21 Keep them ever folded in your heart, and have them hanging round your neck. 22 In your walking, it will be your guide; when you are sleeping, it will keep watch over you; when you are awake, it will have talk with you. 23 For the rule is a light, and the teaching a shining light; and the guiding words of training are the way of life. 24 They will keep you from the evil woman, from the smooth tongue of the strange woman. 25 Let not your heart's desire go after her fair body; let not her eyes take you prisoner. 26 For a loose woman is looking for a cake of bread, but another man's wife goes after one's very life. 27 May a man take fire to his breast without burning his clothing? 28 Or may one go on lighted coals, and his feet not be burned? 29 So it is with him who goes in to his neighbour's wife; he who has anything to do with her will not go free from punishment. 30 Men do not have a low opinion of a thief who takes food when he is in need of it: 31 But if he is taken in the act he will have to give back seven times as much, giving up all his property which is in his house. 32 He who takes another man's wife is without all sense: he who does it is the cause of destruction to his soul. 33 Wounds will be his and loss of honour, and his shame may not be washed away. 34 For bitter is the wrath of an angry husband; in the day of punishment he will have no mercy. 35 He will not take any payment; and he will not make peace with you though your money offerings are increased. 7 1 My son, keep my sayings, and let my rules be stored up with you. 2 Keep my rules and you will have life; let my teaching be to you as the light of your eyes; 3 Let them be fixed to your fingers, and recorded in your heart. 4 Say to wisdom, You are my sister; let knowledge be named your special friend: 5 So that they may keep you from the strange woman, even from her whose words are smooth. 6 Looking out from my house, and watching through the window, 7 I saw among the young men one without sense, 8 Walking in the street near the turn of her road, going on the way to her house, 9 At nightfall, in the evening of the day, in the black dark of the night. 10 And the woman came out to him, in the dress of a loose woman, with a designing heart; 11 She is full of noise and uncontrolled; her feet keep not in her house. 12 Now she is in the street, now in the open spaces, waiting at every turning of the road. 13 So she took him by his hand, kissing him, and without a sign of shame she said to him: 14 I have a feast of peace-offerings, for today my oaths have been effected. 15 So I came out in the hope of meeting you, looking for you with care, and now I have you. 16 My bed is covered with cushions of needlework, with coloured cloths of the cotton thread of Egypt; 17 I have made my bed sweet with perfumes and spices. 18 Come, let us take our pleasure in love till the morning, having joy in love's delights. 19 For the master of the house is away on a long journey: 20 He has taken a bag of money with him; he is coming back at the full moon. 21 With her fair words she overcame him, forcing him with her smooth lips. 22 The simple man goes after her, like an ox going to its death, like a roe pulled by a cord; 23 Like a bird falling into a net; with no thought that his life is in danger, till an arrow goes into his side. 24 So now, my sons, give ear to me; give attention to the sayings of my mouth; 25 Let not your heart be turned to her ways, do not go wandering in her footsteps. 26 For those wounded and made low by her are great in number; and all those who have come to their death through her are a great army. 27 Her house is the way to the underworld, going down to the rooms of death.
MKJV(i) 20 My son, keep your father's commandments, and do not forsake the law of your mother; 21 bind them upon your heart forever, tie them around your neck. 22 When you go, it shall lead you; when you sleep, it shall keep you; and when you awake, it shall talk with you. 23 For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life; 24 to keep you from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman. 25 Do not lust after her beauty in your heart; nor let her take you with her eyelids. 26 For by means of a harlot a man comes to a piece of bread; and another man's wife will hunt for the precious life. 27 Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned? 28 Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned? 29 So is he who goes in to his neighbor's wife; whoever touches her shall not be innocent. 30 They do not despise a thief, if he steals to satisfy his soul when he is hungry; 31 but if he is found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the goods of his house. 32 Whoever commits adultery with a woman lacks understanding; he who does it destroys his own soul. 33 He shall get a wound and dishonor; and his shame shall not be wiped away. 34 For jealousy is the rage of a man; therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance. 35 He will not take any ransom; nor will he be willing if you multiply the gifts. 7 1 My son, keep my words and store up my commandments within you. 2 Keep my commandments and live; and keep my law as the pupil of your eye. 3 Bind them upon your fingers; write them upon the tablet of your heart. 4 Say to wisdom, You are my sister; and call understanding your kinsman, 5 so that they may keep you from the strange woman, from the stranger who flatters with her words. 6 For at the window of my house I looked through my lattice, 7 and I saw among the simple ones, among the youths, a young man with no understanding, 8 passing through the street near her corner. And he went the way to her house, 9 in the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night. 10 And, behold, there a woman met him, with the dress of a harlot and a guarded heart. 11 She is loud and stubborn; her feet do not stay in her house; 12 now she is outside, now in the streets, and lies in wait at every corner. 13 And she caught him and kissed him, and with a hard face she said to him, 14 I have peace offerings with me; today I have paid my vows. 15 so I came out to meet you, earnestly to seek your face, and I have found you. 16 I have decked my bed with coverings, with striped cloths of Egyptian linen. 17 I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. 18 Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning; let us delight ourselves with caresses. 19 For my husband is not at home, he has gone on a long journey; 20 he has taken a bag of silver with him and will come home at the day of the full moon. 21 With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him. 22 He goes after her immediately, like an ox goes to the slaughter, or like a fool to the correction of the stocks; 23 until a dart strikes through his liver; as a bird hastens to the snare and does not know that it is for his soul. 24 And now listen to me, sons, and attend to the words of my mouth. 25 Do not let your heart turn aside to her ways, do not go astray in her paths. 26 For she has cast down many wounded; yea, many strong men have been slain by her. 27 Her house is the way to hell, going down to the rooms of death.
LITV(i) 20 My son, keep your father's commands, and do not forsake the law of your mother. 21 Tie them to your heart forever; tie them around your neck. 22 When you go, it shall lead you; when you sleep, it shall watch over you; and when you awaken, it will meditate with you. 23 For the commandment is a lamp, and the law a light; and reproofs of instruction are a way of life, 24 to keep you from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of the strange woman. 25 Do not lust after her beauty in your heart, and do not let her take you with her eyelids, 26 For on account of a woman, a harlot, a man comes to the last loaf of bread, and another man's wife hunts for the precious soul. 27 Can a man take fire into his bosom and his clothes not be burned? 28 Or can a man walk on hot coals and his feet not be burned? 29 So is he who goes in to his neighbor's wife; everyone touching her shall not be innocent. 30 They do not despise a thief, if he steals to fill his appetite when he is hungry. 31 But if he is found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the goods of his house. 32 He who commits adultery with a woman lacks heart; he who does it is a destroyer of his own soul. 33 He shall find a wound and dishonor, and his shame shall not be wiped away. 34 For jealousy is the rage of a man, and he will not spare in the day of vengeance, 35 He will not lift up the face of every ransom, nor will he consent if you multiply the bribes. 7 1 My son, keep my words and store up my commands within you. 2 Keep my commands and live, and my law as the pupil of your eye. 3 Tie them on your fingers; write them on the tablet of your heart. 4 Say to wisdom, You are my sister, and call understanding your kinsman, 5 so that they may keep you from the strange woman, from the alien with her flattering words. 6 For I looked through my lattice, at the window of my house, 7 and I saw among the simple ones, I observed among the sons a young man lacking heart, 8 passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house, 9 in the twilight, in the evening, in the black and darkness of night. 10 And, behold, a woman to meet him, with a harlot's dress, and a guarded heart; 11 she is loud and stubborn; her feet do not stay in her own house. 12 At this time she is outside, now in the streets, and she lies in wait at every corner; 13 and she seizes him and kisses him; she hardens her face and says to him, 14 Sacrifices of peace offerings are on me, today I have paid my vows; 15 so I came out to meet you, earnestly to seek your face, and I have found you. 16 I have spread my couch with coverings, with striped cloths of Egyptian linen. 17 I have sprinkled my bed with myrrh, aloes and cinnamon. 18 Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning, let us delight ourselves with caresses. 19 For my husband is not at his house; he is going in the way, far away. 20 He has taken a bag of silver in his hand; at the day of the full moon he will enter his house. 21 With the sum of her persuasion she turned him aside; with the flattering of her lips she forced him. 22 He goes after her immediately, as an ox goes to the slaughter; or as one in fetters goes to the correction of a fool, 23 until an arrow strikes through his liver, as a bird hastens to the snare, and not knowing that it is for his soul. 24 Now, then, listen to me, O sons, and attend to the words of my mouth: 25 Do not let your heart turn aside to her ways; do not go astray in her paths. 26 For many are the wounded she has caused to fall; and plentiful all her slain ones. 27 The ways of Sheol are in her house, leading down to the rooms of death.
ECB(i) 20 My son, guard the misvah of your father and abandon not the torah of your mother: 21 bind them continually on your heart and fasten them about your throat. 22 in going, it leads you; in lying down, it guards you; and in wakening, it meditates with you. 23 For the misvah is a lamp; and the torah a light; and reproofs of discipline, the way of life 24 to guard you from the evil woman: from the tongue of a stranger who smoothes it over. 25 Neither desire her beauty in your heart; nor be overtaken by her eyelids: 26 for a woman whores for a round of bread; and a woman of a man hunts for the esteemed soul. 27 Takes a man fire in his bosom and not burn his clothes? 28 - a man go on coals and not blister his feet? 29 Thus he who goes in to the woman of his friend; whoever touches her is not exonerated. 30 Despise not a thief if he steals to fill his soul when he famishes; 31 and being found out, he shalams sevenfold; he gives all the wealth of his house. 32 He who adulterizes with a woman, lacks heart; he who thus works ruins his own soul: 33 he finds plague and abasement; and his reproach wipes not away. 34 For jealousy is the fury of the mighty; and he spares not in the day of avengement; 35 he neither lifts the face of any koper/atonement; nor wills he though you abound bribes. 7 1 My son, guard my sayings and treasure my misvoth with you: 2 guard my misvoth and live; and my torah as the pupil of your eye: 3 bind them on your fingers; inscribe them on the table of your heart: 4 say to wisdom, You are my sister; and call discernment your kin 5 to guard you from the strange woman - from the stranger who smoothes it over with her sayings. 6 For at a window of my house I look through my lattice; 7 and see among the gullible: I discern among the sons a lad lacking heart 8 passing through the street beside her corner: and he paces the way to her house 9 in the evening breeze - in the evening of the day in the darkness of midnight: 10 and behold, a woman meets him with the masculine garment of a whore: with guarded heart 11 she roars and revolts; her feet tabernacle not in her house 12 - at this time in the outways at that time in the broadways and lurks beside every corner. 13 She holds him and kisses him and with strengthened face says to him, 14 I have shelamim with me; this day I shalamed my vows: 15 so I come to meet you early seeking your face, and I find you: 16 I spread my bedstead with spreads, with carvings, with tapestry of Misrayim: 17 I rubbed my bed with myrrh, aloes and cinnamon: 18 come, we satiate with loves until the morning - leap for joy with loves: 19 for the man is not in his house; - gone on a far journey: 20 he took a bundle of silver in his hand; and comes home at the day of the full moon. 21 With her abundant doctrine, she spreads him out; with the smoothing over of her lips she drives him: 22 suddenly he goes after her - as an ox going to the slaughter - as a fool to the discipline of tinklers: 23 until an arrow strikes through his liver; as a bird hastens to the snare and knows not it is for his soul. 24 Now, you sons, hearken to me; hearken to the sayings of my mouth: 25 neither deviate your heart to her ways; nor stray in her paths: 26 for she casts down many pierced; slaughters many mighty: 27 her house is the way to sheol descending to the chambers of death.
ACV(i) 20 My son, keep the commandment of thy father, and do not forsake the law of thy mother. 21 Bind them continually upon thy heart. Tie them about thy neck. 22 When thou walk, it shall lead thee. When thou sleep, it shall watch over thee. And when thou awake, it shall talk with thee. 23 For the commandment is a lamp, and the law is light, and reproofs of instruction are the way of life, 24 to keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the stranger's tongue. 25 Do not lust after her beauty in thy heart, nor let her take thee with her eyelids. 26 For the price of a harlot is as much as a piece of bread, but the adulteress hunts for the precious life. 27 Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned? 28 Or can a man walk upon hot coals, and his feet not be scorched? 29 So is he who goes in to his neighbor's wife. Whoever touches her shall not be unpunished. 30 Men do not despise a thief, if he steals to satisfy himself when he is hungry. 31 Yet if he is found, he shall restore sevenfold. He shall give all the substance of his house. 32 He who commits adultery with a woman is void of understanding. He who would destroy his own soul does it. 33 Wounds and dishonor he shall get, and his reproach shall not be wiped away. 34 For jealousy is a man's fury, and he will not spare in the day of vengeance. 35 He will not regard any ransom, nor will he be satisfied, though thou give many gifts. 7 1 My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee. 2 Keep my commandments and live, and my law as the apple of thine eye. 3 Bind them upon thy fingers. Write them upon the tablet of thy heart. 4 Say to wisdom, Thou are my sister, and call understanding thy kinswoman, 5 that they may keep thee from the interloping woman, from the stranger who flatters with her words. 6 For at the window of my house I looked forth through my lattice, 7 and I beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding 8 passing through the street near her corner. And he went the way to her house, 9 in the twilight, in the evening of the day, in the middle of the night and in the darkness. 10 And, behold, there met him a woman attired like a harlot, and wily of heart. 11 She is loud and headstrong. Her feet abide not in her house. 12 Now she is in the streets, now in the broad places, and lies in wait at every corner. 13 So she caught him, and kissed him. With an impudent face she said to him, 14 Sacrifices of peace offerings are with me. I have paid my vows this day. 15 Therefore I came forth to meet thee, diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee. 16 I have spread my couch with carpets of tapestry, with striped cloths of the yarn of Egypt. 17 I have perfumed my bed With myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. 18 Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning. Let us solace ourselves with love. 19 For the man is not at home. He has gone a long journey. 20 He has taken a bag of money with him. He will come home at the full moon. 21 With her much fair speech she causes him to yield. With the flattering of her lips she forces him along. 22 He goes after her straightaway, as an ox goes to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks, 23 till an arrow strikes through his liver, as a bird hastens to the snare. And he does not know that it is for his life. 24 Now therefore, ye sons, hearken to me, and attend to the words of my mouth. 25 Let not thy heart decline to her ways. Go not astray in her paths. 26 For she has cast down many wounded. Yea, all her slain are a mighty host. 27 Her house is the way to Sheol, going down to the chambers of death.

AKJV(i) 20 My son, keep your father's commandment, and forsake not the law of your mother: 21 Bind them continually on your heart, and tie them about your neck. 22 When you go, it shall lead you; when you sleep, it shall keep you; and when you wake, it shall talk with you. 23 For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life: 24 To keep you from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman. 25 Lust not after her beauty in your heart; neither let her take you with her eyelids. 26 For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life. 27 Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned? 28 Can one go on hot coals, and his feet not be burned? 29 So he that goes in to his neighbor's wife; whoever touches her shall not be innocent. 30 Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry; 31 But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house. 32 But whoever commits adultery with a woman lacks understanding: he that does it destroys his own soul. 33 A wound and dishonor shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away. 34 For jealousy is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance. 35 He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though you give many gifts. 7 1 My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with you. 2 Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of your eye. 3 Bind them on your fingers, write them on the table of your heart. 4 Say to wisdom, You are my sister; and call understanding your kinswoman: 5 That they may keep you from the strange woman, from the stranger which flatters with her words. 6 For at the window of my house I looked through my casement, 7 And beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding, 8 Passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house, 9 In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night: 10 And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot, and subtle of heart. 11 (She is loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house: 12 Now is she without, now in the streets, and lies in wait at every corner.) 13 So she caught him, and kissed him, and with an impudent face said to him, 14 I have peace offerings with me; this day have I paid my vows. 15 Therefore came I forth to meet you, diligently to seek your face, and I have found you. 16 I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with carved works, with fine linen of Egypt. 17 I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. 18 Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning: let us solace ourselves with loves. 19 For the manager is not at home, he is gone a long journey: 20 He has taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at the day appointed. 21 With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him. 22 He goes after her straightway, as an ox goes to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks; 23 Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hastens to the snare, and knows not that it is for his life. 24 Listen to me now therefore, O you children, and attend to the words of my mouth. 25 Let not your heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths. 26 For she has cast down many wounded: yes, many strong men have been slain by her. 27 Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death.

  20 H1121 My son, H5341 keep H1 your father’s H4687 commandment, H5203 and forsake H8451 not the law H517 of your mother:
  21 H7194 Bind H8548 them continually H3820 on your heart, H6029 and tie H5921 them about H1621 your neck.
  22 H1980 When you go, H5148 it shall lead H7901 you; when you sleep, H8104 it shall keep H6974 you; and when you wake, H7878 it shall talk with you.
  23 H4687 For the commandment H5216 is a lamp; H8451 and the law H216 is light; H8433 and reproofs H4148 of instruction H1870 are the way H2416 of life:
  24 H8104 To keep H7451 you from the evil H802 woman, H2513 from the flattery H3956 of the tongue H5237 of a strange woman.
  25 H2530 Lust H3308 not after her beauty H3824 in your heart; H408 neither H3947 let her take H6079 you with her eyelids.
  26 H1157 For by means H2181 of a whorish H802 woman H3603 a man is brought to a piece H3899 of bread: H802 and the adulteress H376 H6679 will hunt H3368 for the precious H5315 life.
  27 H376 Can a man H2846 take H784 fire H2436 in his bosom, H899 and his clothes H8313 not be burned?
  28 H376 Can one H1980 go H1513 on hot coals, H7272 and his feet H3554 not be burned?
  29 H3651 So H935 he that goes H7453 in to his neighbor’s H802 wife; H3605 whoever H5060 touches H5352 her shall not be innocent.
  30 H936 Men do not despise H1590 a thief, H3588 if H1589 he steal H4390 to satisfy H5315 his soul H3588 when H7456 he is hungry;
  31 H4672 But if he be found, H7999 he shall restore H7659 sevenfold; H5414 he shall give H3605 all H1952 the substance H1004 of his house.
  32 H5003 But whoever commits H5003 adultery H802 with a woman H2638 lacks H3820 understanding: H6213 he that does H7843 it destroys H5315 his own soul.
  33 H5061 A wound H7036 and dishonor H4672 shall he get; H2781 and his reproach H4229 shall not be wiped away.
  34 H7068 For jealousy H2534 is the rage H1397 of a man: H2550 therefore he will not spare H3117 in the day H5359 of vengeance.
  35 H5375 He will not regard H6440 H3605 any H3724 ransom; H3808 neither H14 will he rest content, H3588 though H7235 you give many H7810 gifts.

  3 H7194 Bind H676 them on your fingers, H3789 write H3871 them on the table H3820 of your heart.
  4 H559 Say H2451 to wisdom, H269 You are my sister; H7121 and call H998 understanding H4129 your kinswoman:
  5 H8104 That they may keep H2114 you from the strange H802 woman, H5237 from the stranger H2505 which flatters H561 with her words.
  6 H2474 For at the window H1004 of my house H8259 I looked H822 through my casement,
  7 H7200 And beheld H6612 among the simple H995 ones, I discerned H1121 among the youths, H5288 a young H2638 man void H3820 of understanding,
  8 H5674 Passing H7784 through the street H681 near H6438 her corner; H6805 and he went H1870 the way H1004 to her house,
  9 H5399 In the twilight, H6153 in the evening, H380 in the black H653 and dark H3915 night:
  10 H2009 And, behold, H7125 there met H802 him a woman H7897 with the attire H2181 of an harlot, H5341 and subtle H3820 of heart.
  11 H1993 (She is loud H5637 and stubborn; H7272 her feet H7931 abide H1004 not in her house:
  12 H6471 Now H2351 is she without, H6471 now H7339 in the streets, H693 and lies in wait H681 at H3605 every H6438 corner.)
  13 H2388 So she caught H5401 him, and kissed H5810 him, and with an impudent H6440 face H559 said to him,
  14 H8002 I have peace H3117 offerings with me; this day H7999 have I paid H5088 my vows.
  15 H5921 Therefore H3651 H3318 came H3318 I forth H7125 to meet H7836 you, diligently H7836 to seek H6440 your face, H4672 and I have found you.
  16 H7234 I have decked H6210 my bed H4765 with coverings H2405 of tapestry, with carved H948 works, with fine linen H4714 of Egypt.
  17 H5130 I have perfumed H4904 my bed H4753 with myrrh, H174 aloes, H7076 and cinnamon.
  18 H3212 Come, H7301 let us take our fill H1730 of love H5704 until H1242 the morning: H5965 let us solace H159 ourselves with loves.
  19 H376 For the manager H1004 is not at home, H1980 he is gone H7350 a long H1870 journey:
  20 H3947 He has taken H6872 a bag H3701 of money H935 with him, and will come H1004 home H3117 at the day H3677 appointed.
  21 H7230 With her much H3948 fair H3948 speech H5186 she caused him to yield, H2506 with the flattering H8193 of her lips H5080 she forced him.
  22 H1980 He goes H310 after H6597 her straightway, H7794 as an ox H935 goes H2874 to the slaughter, H191 or as a fool H4148 to the correction H5914 of the stocks;
  23 H5704 Till H2671 a dart H6398 strike H3516 through his liver; H6833 as a bird H4116 hastens H6341 to the snare, H3045 and knows H5315 not that it is for his life.
  24 H8085 Listen H6258 to me now H1121 therefore, O you children, H7181 and attend H561 to the words H6310 of my mouth.
  25 H3820 Let not your heart H7847 decline H1870 to her ways, H8582 go H8582 not astray H5410 in her paths.
  26 H5307 For she has cast H7227 down many H2491 wounded: H3605 yes, many H6099 strong H2026 men have been slain by her.
  27 H1004 Her house H1870 is the way H7585 to hell, H3381 going H3381 down H2315 to the chambers H4194 of death.

  21 H7230 With her much H3948 fair speech H5186 she caused him to yield, H2506 with the flattering H8193 of her lips H5080 she compelled him.
  22 H1980 He goes H310 after H6597 her directly, H7794 as an ox H935 goes H2874 to the slaughter, H191 or as a fool H4148 to the correction H5914 of the stocks;
  23 H2671 Until a dart H6398 strikes H3516 through his liver; H6833 as a bird H4116 hastes H6341 to the snare, H3045 and knows H5315 not that it is for his life.

EJ2000(i) 20 ¶ My son, keep thy father’s commandment and forsake not the law of thy mother: 21 Bind them continually upon thine heart and tie them about thy neck. 22 When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee. 23 For the commandment is fire, and the law is light; and reproofs of chastening are the way of life, 24 to keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman. 25 Lust not after her beauty in thine heart, neither let her take thee with her eyes. 26 For by means of a whorish woman a man is reduced to a piece of bread, and the woman will hunt the precious soul of the man. 27 Can a man take fire in his bosom and his clothes not be burned? 28 Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned? 29 So is he that goes in to his neighbour’s wife; whosoever touches her shall not be innocent. 30 Men do not take a thief lightly, even if he steals to satisfy his soul when he is hungry; 31 and once he is taken, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house. 32 But whosoever commits adultery with a woman has a fault in his heart; he that does it corrupts his own soul. 33 A wound and dishonour shall he get, and his reproach shall never be wiped away. 34 For the jealous rage of a man will not spare in the day of vengeance. 35 He will not regard any ransom; neither will he want to forgive, though thou givest many bribes. 7 1 ¶ My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee. 2 Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye. 3 Bind them upon thy fingers; write them upon the tablet of thine heart. 4 Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister, and call understanding thy kinswoman: 5 That they may keep thee from the woman belonging to someone else, from the stranger who flatters with her words. 6 ¶ For at the window of my house I looked through my casement 7 and beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding, 8 passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house, 9 in the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night; 10 and, behold, a woman met him with the attire of a harlot, and subtil of heart. 11 (She is loud and stubborn; her feet do not abide in her house: 12 Now without, now in the streets, she lies in wait at every corner.) 13 So she caught him and kissed him and with an impudent face said unto him, 14 I had promised sacrifices of peace; today I have payed my vows. 15 Therefore I came forth to meet thee, diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee. 16 I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with carved works, with fine linen of Egypt. 17 I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. 18 Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning; let us solace ourselves with loves. 19 For the husband is not at home; he is gone a long journey: 20 He has taken a bag of money with him and will come home at the appointed feast day. 21 With her much fair speech she caused him to yield; with the flattering of her lips she persuaded him. 22 He went after her straightway, as an ox goes to the slaughter or as a fool to the correction of the stocks, 23 until the arrow pierces through his liver. He is as a bird struggling in the snare and not knowing that it is against his own life. 24 ¶ Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye sons, and attend to the words of my mouth. 25 Let not thine heart decline to her ways; do not go astray in her paths. 26 For she has caused many to fall down dead; yea, all the strong men have been slain by her. 27 Her house is the way to Sheol, going down to the chambers of death.
CAB(i) 20 My son, keep the laws of your father, and do not reject the ordinances of your mother: 21 but bind them upon your soul continually, and hang them as a chain about your neck. 22 Whenever you walk, lead this along and let it be with you, that it may talk with you when you wake. 23 For the commandment of the law is a lamp and a light; a way of life; reproof also and correction: 24 to keep you continually from a married woman, and from the flattery of a strange tongue. 25 Let not the desire of beauty overcome you, neither be caught by her eyes, or captivated with her eyelids. 26 For the value of a harlot is as much as of one loaf of bread, and a woman hunts for the precious souls of men. 27 Shall anyone bind fire in his bosom, and not burn his garments? 28 Or will anyone walk on coals of fire, and not burn his feet? 29 So is he that goes in to a married woman; he shall not be held guiltless, neither anyone that touches her. 30 It is not to be wondered at if one should be caught stealing, for he steals that when hungry, he may satisfy his soul: 31 but if he should be caught, he shall repay sevenfold, and shall deliver himself by giving all his goods. 32 But the adulterer through lack of understanding procures destruction to his soul. 33 He endures both pain and disgrace, and his reproach shall never be wiped off. 34 For the soul of her husband is full of jealousy: he will not spare in the day of vengeance. 35 He will not forego his enmity for any ransom: neither will he be reconciled by many gifts. 7 1 My son, keep my words, and hide my commandments with you. (7:2) My son, honor the Lord, and you shall be strong; and fear none but Him. 2 Keep my commandments, and you shall live; and keep my words as the pupils of your eyes. 3 And bind them on your fingers, and write them on the table of your heart. 4 Say that wisdom is your sister, and gain prudence as an acquaintance for yourself; 5 that she may keep you from the strange and wicked woman, if she should assail you with flattering words. 6 For she looks from a window out of her house into the streets, at one whom she may see of the senseless ones, a young man devoid of understanding, 7 passing by the corner in the passages near her house, 8 and speaking, in the dark of the evening, 9 when there happens to be the stillness of night and of darkness: 10 and the woman meets him having the appearance of a harlot, that causes the hearts of young men to flutter. 11 And she is fickle and rebellious, and her feet abide not at home. 12 For at one time she wanders outside, and at another time she lies in wait in the streets, at every corner. 13 Then she caught him, and kissed him, and with an impudent face said to him, 14 I have a peace offering; today I pay my vows: 15 therefore I came forth to meet you, desiring your face; and I have found you. 16 I have spread my bed with sheets, and I have covered it with double tapestry from Egypt. 17 I have sprinkled my couch with saffron, and my house with cinnamon. 18 Come, and let us enjoy love until the morning; come, and let us embrace in love. 19 For my husband is not at home, and has gone on a long journey, 20 having taken in his hand a bundle of money: after many days he will return to his house. 21 So with much conversation she prevailed on him to go astray, and with the snares of her lips forced him from the right path. 22 And he followed her, being gently led on, as that of an ox led to the slaughter, and as a dog to bonds, or as a deer shot in the liver with an arrow: 23 and he hastens as a bird into a snare, not knowing that he is running for his life. 24 Now then my son, listen to me, and attend to the words of my mouth. 25 Let not your heart turn aside to her ways, 26 for she has wounded and cast down many, and those whom she has slain are innumerable. 27 Her house is the way of hell, leading down to the chambers of death.
LXX2012(i) 20 [My] son, keep the laws of your father, and reject not the ordinances of your mother: 21 but bind them upon your soul continually, and hang them as a chain about your neck. 22 Whenever you walk, lead this along and let it be with you; that it may talk with you when you wake. 23 For the commandment of the law is a lamp and a light; a way of life; reproof also and correction: 24 to keep you continually from a married woman, and from the calumny of a strange tongue. 25 Let not the desire of beauty overcome you, neither be you caught by your eyes, neither be captivated with her eyelids. 26 For the value of a harlot is as much as of one loaf; and a woman hunts for the precious souls of men. 27 Shall any one bind fire in his bosom, and not burn his garments? 28 or will any one walk on coals of fire, and not burn his feet? 29 So is he that goes in to a married woman; he shall not be held guiltless, neither any one that touches her. 30 It is not to be wondered at if one should be taken stealing, for he steals that when hungry he may satisfy his soul: 31 but if he should be taken, he shall repay sevenfold, and shall deliver himself by giving all his goods. 32 But the adulterer through lack of sense procures destruction to his soul. 33 He endures both pain and disgrace, and his reproach shall never be wiped off. 34 For the soul of her husband is full of jealousy: he will not spare in the day of vengeance. 35 He will not forego [his] enmity for any ransom: neither will he be reconciled for many gifts. 7 1 [My] son, keep my words, and hide with you my commandments. [My] son, honor the Lord, and you shall be strong; and fear none but him: 2 keep my commandments, and you shall live; and [keep] my words as the pupils of [your] eyes. 3 And bind them on your fingers, and write [them] on the table of your heart. 4 Say that wisdom is your sister, and gain prudence as an acquaintance for yourself; 5 that she may keep you from the strange and wicked woman, if she should assail you with flattering words. 6 For she looks from a window out of her house into the streets, at one whom she may see of the senseless ones, a young man void of understanding, 7 passing by the corner in the passages near her house, 8 and speaking, in the dark of the evening, 9 when there happens [to be] the stillness of night and of darkness: 10 and the woman meets him having the appearance of a harlot, that causes the hearts of young men to flutter. 11 And she is fickle, and debauched, and her feet abide not at home. 12 For at one time she wanders without, and at [another] time she lies in wait in the streets, at every corner. 13 Then she caught him, and kissed him, and with an impudent face said to him, 14 I have a peace-offering; today I pay my vows: 15 therefore I came forth to meet you, desiring your face; [and] I have found you. 16 I have spread my bed with sheets, and I have covered it with double tapestry from Egypt. 17 I have sprinkled my couch with saffron, and my house with cinnamon. 18 Come, and let us enjoy love until the morning; come, and let us embrace in love. 19 For my husband is not at home, but is gone on a long journey, 20 having taken in his hand a bundle of money: after many days he will return to his house. 21 So with much converse she prevailed on him to go astray, and with the snares of her lips forced him from [the right path]. 22 And he followed her, being gently led on, and [that] as an ox is led to the slaughter, and as a dog to bonds, or as a hart shot in the liver with an arrow: 23 and he hastens as a bird into a snare, not knowing that he is running for [his] life. 24 Now then, [my] son, listen to me, and attend to the words of my mouth. 25 Let not your heart turn aside to her ways : 26 for she has wounded and cast down many, and those whom she has slain are innumerable. 27 Her house is the way of hell, leading down to the chambers of death.
NSB(i) 20 My son, obey your father's command, and do not abandon the law of your mother: 21 Constantly bind them upon your heart, and tie them about your neck. 22 When you go, they will lead you; when you sleep they will watch over you and when you awake, they will talk to you. 23 For the commandment is a lamp. The law is light. Reproofs for instruction are the way of life. 24 This will keep you from the evil woman and from the smooth tongue of an adulterous woman. 25 Do not lust after her beauty in your heart. Do not let her attract you with her eyelids. 26 A prostitute will cost you your last crust of bread. An adulteress will cost you your life. 27 Can a man have fire in his lap and his clothes not be burned? 28 Can one walk on hot coals, and his feet not be burned? 29 He who has sex with another mans wife; anyone who embraces her will not be innocent. 30 Men do not despise a thief if he steals to satisfy his hunger when he is starving. 31 But if he is caught, he must repay sevenfold. He must give everything in his house. 32 He who commits adultery with a woman lacks judgment and destroys himself. 33 He will get wounds and be dishonored. His shame will not be wiped away. 34 Jealousy enrages a man. He will not be spared in the day of vengeance. 35 He will not regard any ransom, nor will he be content when you give many gifts. 7 1 My son, pay attention to my words, and preserve my commandments within you. 2 Obey my commandments and live, and my teaching like the pupil of your eye. 3 Bind them upon your fingers. Write them upon the table of your heart. 4 Say to wisdom: »You are my sister!« Call understanding your friend. 5 That they may keep you from the adulteress, from the stranger with seductive words. 6 I looked out the window of my house. 7 I saw among the simple ones, I discerned among the youth, a young man without understanding. 8 He passed through the street near her corner. He went to her house. 9 In the twilight, in the evening, in the darkness of the night: 10 He met an evil hearted woman dressed seductively like an immoral woman. 11 She is loud and rebellious and never stays at home. 12 Now in the streets and squares, she waits at every corner. 13 She put her arms around him and kissed him, and with an impudent look she said: 14 »I have peace offerings with me since I paid my vows. 15 »So I came to meet you and seek your presence. I found you. 16 »I covered my bed with fine linen from Egypt. 17 »I perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. 18 »Come; let us take our fill of love until morning. Let us comfort ourselves with love. 19 »My husband is not at home. He went on a long trip. 20 »He took a bag of money with him. He will come home at the appointed day.« 21 She seduced him with her persuasive words. She forced him with her flattering lips. 22 He immediately goes after her. He is like a bull that goes to the slaughter. Or as a fool to the correction of the stocks, 23 Till a dart strikes through his liver. The bird hurries to the snare without knowing it would cost his life. 24 Listen to me dear sons and pay attention to the words of my mouth. 25 Do not let your heart go after her ways. Do not stray in her paths. 26 She has wounded many. Many strong men have been slain by her. 27 Her house is the way to the grave, going down to the chambers of death.
ISV(i) 20 Parental Counsel about ImmoralityKeep your father’s commands, my son, and never forsake your mother’s rules, 21 by binding them to your heart continuously, fastening them around your neck. 22 During your travels wisdom will lead you; she will watch over you while you rest; and when you are startled from your sleep, she will commune with you. 23 Because the command is a lamp and the Law a light, rebukes that discipline are a way of life— 24 to protect you from the evil woman, from the words of the seductive woman. 25 Do not focus on her beauty in your mind, nor allow her to take you prisoner with her flirting eyes, 26 because the price of a whore is a loaf of bread, and an adulterous woman stalks a man’s precious life. 27 Can a man scoop fire into his bosom without burning his clothes? 28 Can a man walk on hot coals without scorching his feet? 29 So also is it with someone who has sex with his neighbor’s wife; anyone touching her will not remain unpunished. 30 A thief isn’t despised if he steals to meet his needs when he is hungry, 31 but when he is discovered, he must restore seven-fold, forfeiting the entire value of his house. 32 Whoever commits adultery with a woman is out of his mind; by doing so he corrupts his own soul. 33 He will receive a beating and dishonor, and his shame won’t disappear, 34 because jealousy incites a strong man’s rage, and he will show no mercy when it’s time for revenge. 35 He will not consider any payment, nor will he be willing to accept it, no matter how large the bribe.
7 1 On Avoiding the Immoral Woman My son, guard what I say and treasure my commands. 2 Keep my commands and you’ll live. Guard my teaching as you do your eyesight. 3 Strap them to your fingers and engrave them on the tablet of your heart. 4 Say to wisdom, “You’re my sister!” and call understanding your close relative, 5 so they can keep you from an adulterous woman, from the immoral woman with her seductive words.
6 A Father’s WarningFor from a window in my house I peered through the lattice work, 7 and I noticed among the naïve— that is, I discerned among the youths— a senseless young man. 8 Proceeding down the street near her corner, he makes his way toward her house 9 at twilight, during the evening, even during the darkest part of the night. 10 Look! A woman makes her way to meet him, dressed as a prostitute and intending to entrap him. 11 She is brazen and defiant— her feet don’t remain at home. 12 Now she is in the street, now in the plazas, she lurks near every corner. 13 So she grabs hold of him and kisses him, with a brazen face she speaks to him, 14 “I have given my peace offerings, and today I fulfilled my vows. 15 Therefore, I’ve come out to meet you, I’ve looked just for you, and I found you! 16 I’ve decorated my bed with new coverings— embroidered linen from Egypt. 17 I’ve perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. 18 Come, let’s make love until dawn; let’s comfort ourselves with love, 19 because my husband isn’t home. He left on a long trip. 20 He took a fist full of cash and he’ll return home in a month.” 21 She leads him astray with great persuasion; with flattering lips she seduces him. 22 All of a sudden he follows her like an ox fit for slaughter or like a fool fit for a trap 23 until an arrow pierces his liver. As a bird darts into a snare, he doesn’t realize his fatal decision. 24 So listen to me, my sons, and pay attention to what I have to say. 25 Don’t be led astray by her lifestyle, and don’t imitate her behavior. 26 For many are the victims whom she has conquered, and many are her slain. 27 Her house leads to Sheol, descending to death’s catacombs.
LEB(i) 20 My child, keep the commandment of your father, and do not disregard the instruction of your mother. 21 Bind them on your heart continually; tie them upon your neck. 22 ⌊When you walk⌋,* she* will lead you, ⌊When you lie down⌋,* she will watch over you, and when you awake, she will converse with you. 23 For like a lamp is a commandment, and instruction is light, and the way of life* is the reproof of discipline, 24 in order to preserve you from an evil woman,* from the smoothness of the tongue of ⌊an adulteress⌋.* 25 Do not desire her beauty in your heart; may she not capture you with her eyelashes. 26 For the price of a woman, a prostitute,* is the price of a loaf of bread, but the ⌊woman belonging to a man⌋* hunts precious life. 27 Can a man carry fire in his lap, and his clothes not burn? 28 If a man walks upon the hot coals, will his feet not be burned? 29 Thus, he who goes to the wife of his neighbor, any who touches her shall not go unpunished. 30 People do not despise a thief when he steals to fill himself* when he is hungry. 31 But if he is found, he will pay sevenfold, every possession of his house he shall give. 32 He who commits adultery with a woman lacks ⌊sense⌋,* he destroys himself* who does it. 33 A wound and dishonor he will find, and his disgrace will not be wiped out. 34 For jealousy is the fury of a husband, and he will not show restraint on the day of revenge. 35 He will not accept ⌊any compensation⌋,* and he will not be willing, though the bribe is large. 7 1 My child, guard my sayings; store my commandments with you. 2 Keep my commands and live, and my teaching like the ⌊apple of your eye⌋.* 3 Bind them on your fingers; write them on the tablet of your heart. 4 Say to wisdom,* "you are my sister," and you shall call insight,* "⌊intimate friend⌋."* 5 In order to guard yourself from ⌊an adulteress⌋,* from the foreigner who ⌊makes her words smooth⌋.* 6 For at the window of my house, through my lattice, I looked down. 7 And I saw among the simple, I observed among the youth, a young man lacking ⌊sense⌋,* 8 passing on the street ⌊at⌋* her corner, and he takes the road to her house, 9 at twilight, at the day's evening, in the midst of night and the darkness. 10 Then behold! A woman comes to meet him with the garment of a prostitute* and ⌊a secret heart⌋.* 11 She is loud and stubborn; her feet do not stay at her house. 12 Now in the street, now in the square, ⌊at⌋* every corner she lies in wait. 13 She took hold of * him and kissed him. Her face was impudent, and she said to him, 14 "Sacrifices of peace offerings are upon me; ⌊today⌋* I completed my vows. 15 So* I have come out to meet you, to seek your face, and I have found you. 16 With coverings I have adorned my couch, spreads of the linen of Egypt; 17 I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. 18 Come, let us take our fill of love making, until the morning let us delight in love. 19 For there is no man* in his home; he has gone on a ⌊long journey⌋.* 20 The bag of money he took in his hand, for on the day of the full moon he will come home." 21 She persuades him with the greatness of her teachings; with her smooth lips she compels him. 22 He goes after her suddenly; like an ox to the slaughter he goes, and like a stag to the instruction of a fool, 23 until an arrow pierces his ⌊entrails⌋,* like a bird rushing into a snare, but he does not know that ⌊it will cost him his life⌋.* 24 And now, my children, listen to me, and be attentive to the sayings of my mouth. 25 May your heart not turn aside to her ways; do not stray into her path. 26 For many slain she has laid low, and countless* are all of her killings. 27 The ways of Sheol* are her house, descending to chambers of death.
BSB(i) 20 My son, keep your father’s commandment, and do not forsake your mother’s teaching. 21 Bind them always upon your heart; tie them around your neck. 22 When you walk, they will guide you; when you lie down, they will watch over you; when you awake, they will speak to you. 23 For this commandment is a lamp, this teaching is a light, and the reproofs of discipline are the way to life, 24 to keep you from the evil woman, from the smooth tongue of the adulteress. 25 Do not lust in your heart for her beauty or let her captivate you with her eyes. 26 For the levy of the prostitute is poverty, and the adulteress preys upon your very life. 27 Can a man embrace fire and his clothes not be burned? 28 Can a man walk on hot coals without scorching his feet? 29 So is he who sleeps with another man’s wife; no one who touches her will go unpunished. 30 Men do not despise the thief if he steals to satisfy his hunger. 31 Yet if caught, he must pay sevenfold; he must give up all the wealth of his house. 32 He who commits adultery lacks judgment; whoever does so destroys himself. 33 Wounds and dishonor will befall him, and his reproach will never be wiped away. 34 For jealousy enrages a husband, and he will show no mercy in the day of vengeance. 35 He will not be appeased by any ransom, or persuaded by lavish gifts. 7 1 My son, keep my words and treasure my commandments within you. 2 Keep my commandments and live; guard my teachings as the apple of your eye. 3 Tie them to your fingers; write them on the tablet of your heart. 4 Say to wisdom, “You are my sister,” and call understanding your kinsman, 5 that they may keep you from the adulteress, from the stranger with seductive words. 6 For at the window of my house I looked through the lattice. 7 I saw among the simple, I noticed among the youths, a young man lacking judgment, 8 crossing the street near her corner, strolling down the road to her house, 9 at twilight, as the day was fading into the dark of the night. 10 Then a woman came out to meet him, with the attire of a harlot and cunning of heart. 11 She is loud and defiant; her feet do not remain at home. 12 Now in the street, now in the squares, she lurks at every corner. 13 She seizes him and kisses him; she brazenly says to him: 14 “I have made my peace offerings; today I have paid my vows. 15 So I came out to meet you; I sought you, and I have found you. 16 I have decked my bed with coverings, with colored linen from Egypt. 17 I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, with aloes, and with cinnamon. 18 Come, let us take our fill of love till morning. Let us delight in loving caresses! 19 For my husband is not at home; he has gone on a long journey. 20 He took with him a bag of money and will not return till the moon is full.” 21 With her great persuasion she entices him; with her flattering lips she lures him. 22 He follows her on impulse, like an ox going to the slaughter, like a deer bounding into a trap, 23 until an arrow pierces his liver, like a bird darting into a snare—not knowing it will cost him his life. 24 Now, my sons, listen to me, and attend to the words of my mouth. 25 Do not let your heart turn aside to her ways; do not stray into her paths. 26 For she has brought many down to death; her slain are many in number. 27 Her house is the road to Sheol, descending to the chambers of death.

MLV(i) 20 My son, keep the commandment of your father and do not forsake the law of your mother. 21 Bind them continually upon your heart. Tie them about your neck. 22 When you walk, it will lead you. When you sleep, it will watch over you. And when you awake, it will talk with you.
23 Because the commandment is a lamp and the law is light and reproofs of instruction are the way of life, 24 to keep you from the evil woman, from the flattery of the stranger's tongue.
25 Do not desire after her beauty in your heart, nor let her take you with her eyelids. 26 A man comes to the last piece of bread because of the price of a prostitute, but the adulteress hunts for the precious life.
27 Can a man take fire in his bosom and his clothes not be burned? 28 Or can a man walk upon hot coals and his feet not be scorched?
29 So is he who goes in to his neighbor's wife. Whoever touches her will not be unpunished. 30 Men do not despise a thief, if he steals to satisfy himself because he is hungry. 31 Yet if he is found, he will restore sevenfold. He will give all the substance of his house.
32 He who commits adultery with a woman is void of understanding. He who would destroy his own soul does it. 33 He will get wounds and dishonor and his reproach will not be wiped away.
34 Because jealousy is a man's fury and he will not spare in the day of vengeance. 35 He will not regard any ransom, nor will he be satisfied, because you give many gifts.

7 1 My son, keep my words and lay up my commandments with you. 2 Keep my commandments and live and my law as the apple of your eye. 3 Bind them upon your fingers. Write them upon the tablet of your heart.
4 Say to wisdom, You are my sister and call understanding your kinswoman, 5 that they may keep you from the strange woman, from the foreign woman who flatters with her words.
6 Because I looked forth through my lattice at the window of my house, 7 and I beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding 8 passing through the street near her corner. And he went the way to her house, 9 in the twilight, in the evening of the day, in the middle of the night and in the darkness.
10 And behold, a woman attired like a prostitute and with a guarded heart met him there. 11 She is loud and headstrong. Her feet do not abide in her house. 12 Now she is in the streets, now in the broad places and lies in wait at every corner.
13 So she caught him and kissed him. She said to him with an impudent face, 14 Sacrifices of peace offerings are with me. I have paid my vows this day. 15 Therefore I came out to meet you, diligently to seek your face and I have found you. 16 I have spread my couch with carpets of tapestry, with striped cloths of the yarn of Egypt. 17 I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes and cinnamon.
18 Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning. Let us solace ourselves with love. 19 Because the man is not at home. He has gone a long journey. 20 He has taken a bag of money with him. He will come home at the full moon.
21 She causes him to yield with her much fair speech. She forces him along with the flattering of her lips.
22 He goes after her immediately, as an ox goes to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks, 23 till an arrow strikes through his liver, as a bird hastens to the snare. And he does not know that it is for his life. 24 Now therefore, you* sons, listen to me and attend to the words of my mouth. 25 Do not let your heart decline to her ways. Do not go-astray in her paths. 26 Because she has cast down many wounded. Yes, all her slain are a mighty host.
27 Her house is the way to Sheol, going down to the chambers of death.

VIN(i) 20 My son, keep your father's commandment, and do not forsake your mother's teaching. 21 bind them upon your heart forever, tie them around your neck. 22 When you go, they will lead you; when you sleep they will watch over you and when you awake, they will talk to you. 23 For instruction is a lamp, and law is a light, And the reproofs of discipline are the way to life, 24 to keep you from the immoral woman, from the flattery of the wayward wife's tongue. 25 Do not lust after her beauty in your heart, neither let her captivate you with her eyelids. 26 For a prostitute reduces you to a piece of bread. The adulteress hunts for your precious life. 27 Can a man scoop fire into his lap, and his clothes not be burned? 28 Can a man walk on hot coals without scorching his feet? 29 So is he who goes in to his neighbor's wife. Whoever touches her will not be unpunished. 30 Men do not despise a thief if he steals to satisfy his hunger when he is starving. 31 but if he is found, he must repay seven times. He shall give all the wealth of his house. 32 He who commits adultery with a woman lacks judgment and destroys himself. 33 A wound and dishonour shall he get, and his reproach shall never be wiped away. 34 because jealousy incites a strong man's rage, and he will show no mercy when it's time for revenge. 35 He will not accept any compensation, and he will not be willing, though the bribe is large. 7 1 My son, keep my words and store up my commands within you. 2 Keep my commandments and live! Guard my teaching as the apple of your eye. 3 Bind them on your fingers; write them on the tablet of your heart. 4 Say to wisdom, You are my sister, and call understanding your kinsman, 5 That they may keep you from the adulteress, from the stranger with seductive words. 6 For at the window of my house, I looked out through my lattice. 7 And I saw among the simple, I observed among the youth, a young man lacking ⌊sense⌋, 8 Passing in the street near her corner; and he will step the way of her house, 9 at twilight, at the day's evening, in the midst of night and the darkness. 10 Behold, there a woman met him with the attire of a prostitute, and with crafty intent. 11 She is loud and defiant. Her feet don’t stay in her house. 12 Now in the street, now in the square, at every corner she lies in wait. 13 So she grabs hold of him and kisses him, with a brazen face she speaks to him, 14 "I have given my peace offerings, and today I fulfilled my vows. 15 So I have come out to meet you, to seek your face, and I have found you. 16 "I covered my bed with fine linen from Egypt. 17 I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. 18 Come, let us revel in love until the morning, let us delight ourselves with loves. 19 For my husband is not at home, he has gone on a long journey: 20 He has taken a bag of money with him. He will come home at the full moon." 21 With her fair words she overcame him, forcing him with her smooth lips. 22 He followed her immediately, as an ox goes to the slaughter, as a fool stepping into a noose. 23 until an arrow pierces his entrails, like a bird rushing into a snare, but he does not know that it will cost him his life. 24 Now therefore, sons, listen to me. Pay attention to the words of my mouth. 25 Do not let your heart turn to her ways. Do not go astray in her paths, 26 For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, all her slain are a mighty host 27 Her house is the way to the grave, going down to the chambers of death.

  2 H8104 Behalte H4687 meine Gebote H2421 , so wirst du leben H8451 , und mein Gesetz H5869 H380 wie deinen Augapfel .

  6 H2474 Denn am Fenster H1004 meines Hauses H8259 guckte H822 ich durchs Gitter
  7 H7200 und sah H6612 unter den Unverständigen H995 und ward gewahr H1121 unter den Kindern H3820 H2638 eines törichten H5288 Jünglings,
  8 H5674 der ging H7784 auf der Gasse H681 an H6434 einer Ecke H6805 und trat H1870 daher auf dem Wege H1004 bei ihrem Hause,
  9 H5399 in der Dämmerung H6153 , am Abend H3117 des Tages H3915 , da es Nacht H380 ward H653 und dunkel war.
  10 H7125 Und siehe, da begegnete H802 ihm ein Weib H7897 H2181 im Hurenschmuck H3820 H5341 , listig,
  11 H1993 wild H5637 und unbändig H7272 , daß ihr Füße H1004 in ihrem Hause H7931 nicht bleiben können.
  12 H6471 Jetzt H2351 ist sie draußen H6471 , jetzt H7339 auf der Gasse H693 , und lauert H681 an H6438 allen Ecken .
  13 H2388 Und erwischte H5401 ihn und küßte H6440 H5810 ihn unverschämt H559 und sprach zu ihm:
  14 H8002 H2077 Ich habe Dankopfer H3117 für mich heute H7999 bezahlt H5088 für meine Gelübde .
  15 H3318 Darum bin herausgegangen H7125 , dir zu begegnen H6440 , dein Angesicht H7836 zu suchen H4672 , und habe dich gefunden .
  16 H6210 Ich habe mein Bett H330 schön H7234 geschmückt H2405 mit bunten H4765 Teppichen H4714 aus Ägypten .
  17 H4904 Ich habe mein Lager H4753 mit Myrrhe H174 , Aloe H7076 und Zimt H5130 besprengt .
  18 H3212 Komm H7301 , laß uns genug H1730 buhlen H1242 bis an den Morgen H159 und laß uns der Liebe H5965 pflegen .
  19 H376 Denn der Mann H1004 ist nicht daheim H7350 ; er ist einen fernen H1870 Weg H1980 gezogen .
  20 H3701 H6872 Er hat den Geldsack H3027 mit sich H3947 genommen H3677 H3117 ; er wird erst aufs Fest H1004 H935 wieder heimkommen .
  21 H5186 Sie überredete H7230 ihn mit vielen H3948 Worten H5080 und gewann H2506 ihn mit ihrem glatten H8193 Munde .
  22 H1980 Er folgt H6597 ihr alsbald H310 nach H7794 , wie ein Ochse H2874 zur Fleischbank H935 geführt H5914 wird, und wie zur Fessel H191 , womit man die Narren H4148 züchtigt,
  23 H2671 bis sie ihm mit dem Pfeil H3516 die Leber H6398 spaltet H6833 ; wie ein Vogel H6341 zum Strick H4116 eilt H3045 und weiß H5315 nicht, daß es ihm das Leben gilt.
  24 H8085 So gehorchet H1121 mir nun, meine Kinder H7181 , und merket H561 auf die Rede H6310 meines Mundes .
  25 H3820 Laß dein Herz H7847 nicht weichen H1870 auf ihren Weg H8582 und laß dich nicht verführen H5410 auf ihrer Bahn .

ELB1871(i) 20 Mein Sohn, bewahre das Gebot deines Vaters, und verlaß nicht die Belehrung deiner Mutter; 21 binde sie stets auf dein Herz, knüpfe sie um deinen Hals. 22 Wenn du einhergehst, wird sie dich leiten; wenn du dich niederlegst, wird sie über dich wachen; und erwachst du, so wird sie mit dir reden. 23 Denn das Gebot ist eine Leuchte, und die Belehrung ein Licht; und die Zurechtweisung der Zucht sind der Weg des Lebens: 24 um dich zu bewahren vor dem bösen Weibe, vor der Glätte der Zunge einer Fremden. 25 Begehre nicht in deinem Herzen nach ihrer Schönheit, und sie fange dich nicht mit ihren Wimpern! 26 Denn um eines hurerischen Weibes willen kommt man bis auf einen Laib Brot, und eines Mannes Weib stellt einer kostbaren Seele nach. - 27 Sollte jemand Feuer in seinen Busen nehmen, ohne daß seine Kleider verbrennten? 28 Oder sollte jemand über glühende Kohlen gehen, ohne daß seine Füße versengt würden? 29 So der, welcher zu dem Weibe seines Nächsten eingeht: keiner, der sie berührt, wird für schuldlos gehalten werden. - 30 Man verachtet den Dieb nicht, wenn er stiehlt, um seine Gier zu stillen, weil ihn hungert; 31 und wenn er gefunden wird, kann er siebenfach erstatten, kann alles Gut seines Hauses hingeben. 32 Wer mit einem Weibe Ehebruch begeht, ist unsinnig; wer seine Seele verderben will, der tut solches. 33 Plage und Schande wird er finden, und seine Schmach wird nicht ausgelöscht werden. 34 Denn Eifersucht ist eines Mannes Grimm, und am Tage der Rache schont er nicht. 35 Er nimmt keine Rücksicht auf irgendwelche Sühne und willigt nicht ein, magst du auch das Geschenk vergrößern. 7 1 Mein Sohn, bewahre meine Worte, und birg bei dir meine Gebote; 2 bewahre meine Gebote und lebe, und meine Belehrung wie deinen Augapfel. 3 Binde sie um deine Finger, schreibe sie auf die Tafel deines Herzens. 4 Sprich zur Weisheit: Du bist meine Schwester! und nenne den Verstand deinen Verwandten; 5 damit sie dich bewahre vor dem fremden Weibe, vor der Fremden, die ihre Worte glättet. - 6 Denn an dem Fenster meines Hauses schaute ich durch mein Gitter hinaus; 7 und ich sah unter den Einfältigen, gewahrte unter den Söhnen einen unverständigen Jüngling, 8 der hin und her ging auf der Straße, neben ihrer Ecke, und den Weg nach ihrem Hause schritt, 9 in der Dämmerung, am Abend des Tages, in der Mitte der Nacht und in der Dunkelheit. 10 Und siehe, ein Weib kam ihm entgegen im Anzug einer Hure und mit verstecktem Herzen. - 11 Sie ist leidenschaftlich und unbändig, ihre Füße bleiben nicht in ihrem Hause; 12 bald ist sie draußen, bald auf den Straßen, und neben jeder Ecke lauert sie. - 13 Und sie ergriff ihn und küßte ihn, und mit unverschämtem Angesicht sprach sie zu ihm: 14 Friedensopfer lagen mir ob, heute habe ich meine Gelübde bezahlt; 15 darum bin ich ausgegangen, dir entgegen, um dein Antlitz zu suchen, und dich habe dich gefunden. 16 Mit Teppichen habe ich mein Bett bereitet, mit bunten Decken von ägyptischem Garne; 17 ich habe mein Lager benetzt mit Myrrhe, Aloe und Zimmet. 18 Komm, wir wollen uns in Liebe berauschen bis an den Morgen, an Liebkosungen uns ergötzen. 19 Denn der Mann ist nicht zu Hause, er ist auf eine weite Reise gegangen; 20 er hat den Geldbeutel in seine Hand genommen, am Tage des Vollmondes wird er heimkehren. 21 Sie verleitete ihn durch ihr vieles Bereden, riß ihn fort durch die Glätte ihrer Lippen. 22 Auf einmal ging er ihr nach, wie ein Ochs zur Schlachtbank geht, und wie Fußfesseln zur Züchtigung des Narren dienen, 23 bis ein Pfeil seine Leber zerspaltet; wie ein Vogel zur Schlinge eilt und nicht weiß, daß es sein Leben gilt. - 24 Nun denn, ihr Söhne, höret auf mich, und horchet auf die Worte meines Mundes! 25 Dein Herz wende sich nicht ab nach ihren Wegen, und irre nicht umher auf ihren Pfaden! 26 Denn viele Erschlagene hat sie niedergestreckt, und zahlreich sind alle ihre Ermordeten. 27 Ihr Haus sind Wege zum Scheol, die hinabführen zu den Kammern des Todes.

DSV(i) 20 Mijn zoon, bewaar het gebod uws vaders, en verlaat de wet uwer moeder niet. 21 Bind ze steeds aan uw hart, hecht ze aan uw hals. 22 Als gij wandelt, zal dat u geleiden; als gij nederligt, zal het over u de wacht houden; als gij wakker wordt, zal hetzelve met u spreken. 23 Want het gebod is een lamp, en de wet is een licht, en de bestraffingen der tucht zijn de weg des levens; 24 Om u te bewaren voor de kwade vrouw, voor het gevlei der vreemde tong. 25 Begeer haar schoonheid niet in uw hart, en laat ze u niet vangen met haar oogleden. 26 Want door een vrouw, die een hoer is, komt men tot een stuk broods; en eens mans huisvrouw jaagt de kostelijke ziel. 27 Zal iemand vuur in zijn boezem nemen, dat zijn klederen niet verbrand worden? 28 Zal iemand op kolen gaan, dat zijn voeten niet branden? 29 Alzo die tot zijns naasten huisvrouw ingaat; al wie haar aanroert, zal niet onschuldig gehouden worden. 30 Men doet een dief geen verachting aan, als hij steelt om zijn ziel te vullen, dewijl hij honger heeft; 31 En gevonden zijnde, vergeldt hij het zevenvoudig; hij geeft al het goed van zijn huis. 32 Maar die met een vrouw overspel doet, is verstandeloos; hij verderft zijn ziel, die dat doet; 33 Plage en schande zal hij vinden, en zijn smaad zal niet uitgewist worden. 34 Want jaloersheid is een grimmigheid des mans; en in den dag der wraak zal hij niet verschonen. 35 Hij zal geen verzoening aannemen; en hij zal niet bewilligen, ofschoon gij het geschenk vergroot. 7 1 Mijn zoon, bewaar mijn redenen, en leg mijn geboden bij u weg. 2 Bewaar mijn geboden, en leef, en mijn wet als den appel uwer ogen. 3 Bind ze aan uw vingeren, schrijf ze op de tafels uws harten. 4 Zeg tot de wijsheid: Gij zijt mijn zuster; en heet het verstand uw bloedvriend; 5 Opdat zij u bewaren voor een vreemde vrouw, voor de onbekende, die met haar redenen vleit. 6 Want door het venster van mijn huis, door mijn tralie keek ik uit; 7 En ik zag onder de slechten; ik merkte onder de jonge gezellen een verstandelozen jongeling; 8 Voorbijgaande op de straat, nevens haar hoek, en hij trad op den weg van haar huis. 9 In de schemering, in den avond des daags, in den zwarten nacht en de donkerheid; 10 En ziet, een vrouw ontmoette hem in hoerenversiersel, en met het hart op haar hoede; 11 Deze was woelachtig en wederstrevig, haar voeten bleven in haar huis niet; 12 Nu buiten, dan op de straten zijnde, en bij alle hoeken loerende; 13 En zij greep hem aan, en kuste hem; zij sterkte haar aangezicht, en zeide tot hem: 14 Dankoffers zijn bij mij, ik heb heden mijn geloften betaald; 15 Daarom ben ik uitgegaan u tegemoet, om uw aangezicht naarstiglijk te zoeken, en ik heb u gevonden. 16 Ik heb mijn bedstede met tapijtsieraad toegemaakt, met uitgehouwen werken, met fijn linnen van Egypte; 17 Ik heb mijn leger met mirre, aloë en kaneel welriekende gemaakt; 18 Kom, laat ons dronken worden van minnen tot den morgen toe; laat ons ons vrolijk maken in grote liefde. 19 Want de man is niet in zijn huis, hij is een verren weg getogen; 20 Hij heeft een bundel gelds in zijn hand genomen; ten bestemden dage zal hij naar zijn huis komen. 21 Zij bewoog hem door de veelheid van haar onderricht, zij dreef hem aan door het gevlei harer lippen. 22 Hij ging haar straks achterna, gelijk een os ter slachting gaat, en gelijk een dwaas tot de tuchtiging der boeien. 23 Totdat hem de pijl zijn lever doorsneed; gelijk een vogel zich haast naar den strik, en niet weet, dat dezelve tegen zijn leven is. 24 Nu dan, kinderen, hoort naar mij, en luistert naar de redenen mijns monds. 25 Laat uw hart tot haar wegen niet wijken, dwaalt niet op haar paden. 26 Want zij heeft veel gewonden nedergeveld, en al haar gedoden zijn machtig vele. 27 Haar huis zijn wegen des grafs, dalende naar de binnenkameren des doods.

  2 H8104 H8798 Bewaar H4687 mijn geboden H2421 H8798 , en leef H8451 , en mijn wet H380 als den appel H5869 uwer ogen.
  3 H7194 H8798 Bind H676 ze aan uw vingeren H3789 H8798 , schrijf H3871 ze op de tafels H3820 uws harten.
  4 H559 H8798 Zeg H2451 tot de wijsheid H269 : Gij zijt mijn zuster H7121 H8799 ; en heet H998 het verstand H4129 uw bloedvriend;
  5 H8104 H8800 Opdat zij u bewaren H2114 H8801 voor een vreemde H802 vrouw H5237 , voor de onbekende H561 , [die] met haar redenen H2505 H8689 vleit.
  6 H2474 Want door het venster H1004 van mijn huis H822 , door mijn tralie H8259 H8738 keek ik uit;
  7 H7200 H8799 En ik zag H6612 onder de slechten H995 H8799 ; ik merkte H1121 onder de jonge gezellen H2638 H3820 een verstandelozen H5288 jongeling;
  8 H5674 H8802 Voorbijgaande H7784 op de straat H681 , nevens H6434 haar hoek H6805 H8799 , en hij trad H1870 op den weg H1004 van haar huis.
  9 H5399 In de schemering H6153 , in den avond H3117 des daags H380 , in den zwarten H3915 nacht H653 en de donkerheid;
  10 H802 En ziet, een vrouw H7125 H8800 ontmoette H7897 H2181 H8802 hem in hoerenversiersel H3820 , en met het hart H5341 H8803 op haar hoede;
  11 H1993 H8802 Deze was woelachtig H5637 H8802 en wederstrevig H7272 , haar voeten H7931 H8799 bleven H1004 in haar huis niet;
  12 H6471 Nu H2351 buiten H6471 , dan H7339 op de straten H681 zijnde, en bij H6438 alle hoeken H693 H8799 loerende;
  13 H2388 H8689 En zij greep hem aan H5401 H8804 , en kuste H5810 H8689 hem; zij sterkte H6440 haar aangezicht H559 H8799 , en zeide tot hem:
  14 H8002 H2077 Dankoffers H3117 zijn bij mij, ik heb heden H5088 mijn geloften H7999 H8765 betaald;
  15 H3318 H8804 Daarom ben ik uitgegaan H7125 H8800 u tegemoet H6440 , om uw aangezicht H7836 H8763 naarstiglijk te zoeken H4672 H8799 , en ik heb u gevonden.
  16 H6210 Ik heb mijn bedstede H4765 met tapijtsieraad H7234 H8804 toegemaakt H2405 , met uitgehouwen H330 werken, met fijn linnen H4714 van Egypte;
  17 H4904 Ik heb mijn leger H4753 met mirre H174 , aloe H7076 en kaneel H5130 H8804 welriekende gemaakt;
  18 H3212 H8798 Kom H7301 H8799 , laat ons dronken worden H1730 van minnen H1242 tot den morgen H5965 H8691 toe; laat ons ons vrolijk maken H159 in grote liefde.
  19 H376 Want de man H1004 is niet in zijn huis H7350 , hij is een verren H1870 weg H1980 H8804 getogen;
  20 H6872 Hij heeft een bundel H3701 gelds H3027 in zijn hand H3947 H8804 genomen H3677 ; ten bestemden H3117 dage H1004 zal hij naar zijn huis H935 H8799 komen.
  21 H5186 H8689 Zij bewoog H7230 hem door de veelheid H3948 van haar onderricht H5080 H8686 , zij dreef hem aan H2506 door het gevlei H8193 harer lippen.
  22 H1980 H8802 Hij ging H6597 haar straks H310 achterna H7794 , gelijk een os H2874 ter slachting H935 H8799 gaat H191 , en gelijk een dwaas H4148 tot de tuchtiging H5914 der boeien.
  23 H2671 Totdat hem de pijl H3516 zijn lever H6398 H8762 doorsneed H6833 ; gelijk een vogel H4116 H8763 zich haast H6341 naar den strik H3045 H8804 , en niet weet H5315 , dat dezelve tegen zijn leven is.
  24 H1121 Nu dan, kinderen H8085 H8798 , hoort H7181 H8685 naar mij, en luistert H561 naar de redenen H6310 mijns monds.
  25 H3820 Laat uw hart H1870 tot haar wegen H7847 H8799 niet wijken H8582 H8799 , dwaalt H5410 niet op haar paden.
  26 H7227 Want zij heeft veel H2491 gewonden H5307 H8689 nedergeveld H2026 H8803 , en al haar gedoden H6099 zijn machtig vele.
  27 H1004 Haar huis H1870 zijn wegen H7585 des grafs H3381 H8802 , dalende H2315 naar de binnenkameren H4194 des doods.
Giguet(i) 20 ¶ Ô mon fils, garde les lois de ton père, et ne rejette pas les préceptes de ta mère. 21 Tiens-les toujours attachés à ton âme; mets-les comme un collier autour de ton cou. 22 Partout où tu iras, porte-les, et qu’ils soient avec toi; et quand tu dormiras, qu’ils te gardent, afin qu’à ton réveil ils s’entretiennent avec toi. 23 Les commandements de la loi sont une lampe, une lumière; c’est la voie de vie, c’est la correction et la discipline, 24 qui te garderont de la femme mariée et des artifices de a langue étrangère. 25 Que la convoitise de sa beauté ne triomphe pas de toi; ne te laisse pas prendre par tes yeux, ni ravir par ses paupières. 26 Car la courtisane ne coûte que le prix d’un pain; la femme mariée prends les âmes des hommes qui ont tant de prix. 27 Qui cachera du feu, dans son sein sans brûler sa tunique? 28 Qui marchera sur des charbons ardents sans se brûler les pieds? 29 Tel est celui qui a commerce avec la femme mariée; il ne sera point disculpé, non plus que celui qui l’aura touchée. 30 Il n’est pas étonnant qu’un voleur se cache dans la grange; car il vole pour rassasier son âme affamée; 31 et s’il est pris, il rendra au centuple; et, dût-il donner tout ce qu’il possède, il se sauvera lui-même 32 mais l’adultère, à cause de l’indigence de son cœur, a causé la perte de son âme; 33 il supportera les hontes et les douleurs, et son opprobre ne sera point effacé dans les siècles des siècles. 34 Car l’âme de l’époux est plaine de jalousie; il ne l’épargnera pas le jour du jugement. 35 Nul, au prix d’une rançon, n’éteindra sa haine, et il n’est point de dons si nombreux qui puissent l’apaiser. 7 1 ¶ Mon fils, garde mes paroles, et renferme mes préceptes en toi-même. Mon fils, honore le Seigneur, et tu seras bon; et n’aie point d’autre crainte. 2 Garde mes préceptes, et tu vivras; et mes paroles, comme la prunelle de tes yeux, 3 attache-les autour de tes doigts; grave-les sur la table de ton cœur. 4 Dis que la sagesse est ta sœur, et fais de la prudence ton amie; 5 afin qu’elle te garde de la femme étrangère et perverse, lorsqu’elle te provoquera avec des paroles flatteuses. 6 ¶ Car de sa fenêtre elle se penche sur les places publiques 7 pour voir un fils des insensés, un jeune homme pauvre d’intelligence, 8 passant à l’angle de la rue près de sa maison, et parlant 9 dans l’obscurité du soir, au moment du calme de la nuit et des ténèbres; 10 et la femme descend à sa rencontre; elle a cette beauté de courtisane qui fait tressaillir le cœur des adolescents 11 elle est volage et luxurieuse, et ses pieds ne peuvent se tenir au logis; 12 car tantôt elle rode dehors, tantôt elle se tient à l’affût à tous les angles des places. 13 Puis elle l’arrête; elle l’embrasse, et lui dit d’une voix impudente 14 J’ai chez moi une victime pacifique; je rends grâce aujourd’hui; 15 c’est pour cela que je suis venue au-devant de toi; j’ai désiré ton visage, je t’ai trouvé. 16 J’ai tressé les sangles de mon lit, et l’ai couvert de doubles tapis d’Égypte. 17 J’ai parfumé ma couche de safran, et ma maison de cinnamome. 18 Viens, et jouissons de l’amitié jusqu’à l’aurore; entre, et livrons-nous à l’amour. 19 Car mon mari n’est pas au logis; il est parti pour un long voyage. 20 Il a pris en sa main un grand sac d’argent; il ne reviendra pas de longtemps dans sa demeure. 21 Elle l’égare par ce flux de paroles; elle l’entraîne, avec le filet de ses lèvres. 22 Et lui la suit, sottement dupé, comme le bœuf se laisse conduire à la boucherie, et le chien à la chaîne, 23 ou comme la biche frappée d’un trait au foi; il se hâte comme un oiseau attiré au piège, ne sachant pas qu’il court à la perte de son âme. 24 ¶ Maintenant donc, ô mon fils, écoute-moi, et sois attentif aux paroles de ma bouche. 25 Garde-toi de laisser ton cœur s’égarer dans ses voies; 26 car elle en a blessé et abattu beaucoup, et ceux qu’elle a tués sont innombrables. 27 Sa maison est le chemin de l’enfer, conduisant au réceptacle de la mort.
DarbyFR(i) 20
Mon fils, garde le commandement de ton père, et n'abandonne pas l'enseignement de ta mère; 21 tiens-les continuellement liés sur ton coeur, attache-les à ton cou. 22 Quand tu marcheras, il te conduira; quand tu dormiras, il te gardera; et quand tu te réveilleras, il s'entretiendra avec toi. 23 Car le commandement est une lampe et l'enseignement une lumière, et les répréhensions de la discipline sont le chemin de la vie, 24 pour te garder de la mauvaise femme, des flatteries de la langue d'une étrangère. 25 Ne désire pas sa beauté dans ton coeur, et qu'elle ne te prenne pas par ses paupières; 26 car par la femme prostituée on en vient jusqu'à un morceau de pain, et la femme d'autrui chasse après l'âme précieuse. 27 Un homme prendra-t-il du feu dans son sein sans que ses vêtements brûlent? 28 Si un homme marche sur des charbons ardents, ses pieds ne seront-ils pas brûlés? 29 Ainsi celui qui entre vers la femme de son prochain..., quiconque la touchera ne sera point innocent. 30 On ne méprise pas un voleur s'il vole pour satisfaire son âme quand il a faim; 31 et s'il est trouvé, il rendra le septuple, il donnera tous les biens de sa maison. 32 Celui qui commet adultère avec une femme manque de sens; celui qui le fait détruit son âme: 33 il trouvera plaie et mépris, et son opprobre ne sera pas effacé; 34 car dans l'homme, la jalousie est une fureur, et il n'épargnera pas au jour de la vengeance; 35 il n'acceptera aucune propitiation, et ne se tiendra pas pour satisfait, quand tu multiplierais les présents. 7 1
Mon fils, garde mes paroles et cache par devers toi mes commandements. 2 Garde mes commandements, et tu vivras, -et mon enseignement, comme la prunelle de tes yeux. 3 Lie-les sur tes doigts, écris-les sur la tablette de ton coeur. 4 Dis à la sagesse: Tu es ma soeur! et appelle l'intelligence ton amie; 5 pour te garder de la femme étrangère, de la foraine qui use de paroles flatteuses. 6
à la fenêtre de ma maison, je regardais à travers mon treillis, et je vis parmi les simples, 7 j'aperçus parmi les jeunes gens, un jeune homme dépourvu de sens, 8 qui passait par la rue, près du coin où demeurait cette femme, et il prit le chemin de sa maison, 9 au crépuscule, au soir du jour, au sein de la nuit et de l'obscurité. 10 Et voici, une femme vint à sa rencontre, ayant la mise d'une prostituée et le coeur rusé. 11 Elle était bruyante et sans frein; ses pieds ne demeuraient pas dans sa maison, 12 elle était tantôt dehors, tantôt sur les places, et guettait à tous les coins. 13 Et elle le saisit, et l'embrassa, et d'un visage effronté lui dit: 14 J'ai chez moi des sacrifices de prospérités, j'ai aujourd'hui payé mes voeux; 15 c'est pourquoi je suis sortie à ta rencontre pour chercher ton visage, et je t'ai trouvé. 16 J'ai étendu sur mon lit des tapis, des couvertures de fil d'Égypte de couleurs variées; 17 j'ai parfumé ma couche de myrrhe, d'aloès, et de cinnamome. 18 Viens, enivrons-nous d'amours jusqu'au matin, délectons-nous de volupté; 19 car mon mari n'est pas à la maison, il s'en est allé loin en voyage; 20 il a pris un sac d'argent en sa main, il viendra à sa maison au jour de la pleine lune. 21 Elle le détourna par beaucoup de douces paroles, elle l'entraîna par la flatterie de ses lèvres. 22 Il est allé aussitôt après elle, comme le boeuf va à la boucherie, et comme les ceps servent à l'instruction du fou, 23 jusqu'à ce que la flèche lui transperce le foie; comme l'oiseau se hâte vers le piège et ne sait pas qu'il y va de sa vie. 24
Maintenant donc, fils, écoutez-moi, et soyez attentifs aux paroles de ma bouche. 25 Que ton coeur ne se détourne pas vers ses voies, et ne t'égare pas dans ses sentiers; 26 car elle a fait tomber beaucoup de blessés, et ceux qu'elle a tués sont très-nombreux. 27 Ce sont les voies du shéol que sa maison; elles descendent dans les chambres de la mort.
Martin(i) 20 Mon fils, garde le commandement de ton père, et n'abandonne point l'enseignement de ta mère; 21 Tiens-les continuellement liés à ton coeur, et les attache à ton cou. 22 Quand tu marcheras, il te conduira; et quand tu te coucheras, il te gardera; et quand tu te réveilleras, il s'entretiendra avec toi. 23 Car le commandement est une lampe; et l'enseignement une lumière; et les répréhensions propres à instruire sont le chemin de la vie. 24 Pour te garder de la mauvaise femme, et des flatteries de la langue étrangère, 25 Ne convoite point en ton coeur sa beauté, et ne te laisse point prendre à ses yeux. 26 Car pour l'amour de la femme débauchée on en vient jusqu'à un morceau de pain, et la femme convoiteuse d'homme chasse après l'âme précieuse de l'homme. 27 Quelqu'un peut-il prendre du feu dans son sein, sans que ses habits brûlent ? 28 Quelqu'un marchera-t-il sur la braise, sans que ses pieds en soient brûlés ? 29 Ainsi en prend-il à celui qui entre vers la femme de son prochain; quiconque la touchera, ne sera point innocent. 30 On ne méprise point un larron, s'il dérobe pour remplir son âme, quand il a faim; 31 Et s'il est trouvé, il le récompensera sept fois au double, il donnera tout ce qu'il a dans sa maison. 32 Mais celui qui commet adultère avec une femme, est dépourvu de sens; et celui qui le fera, sera le destructeur de son âme. 33 Il trouvera des plaies et de l'ignominie, et son opprobre ne sera point effacé. 34 Car la jalousie est une fureur de mari, qui n'épargnera point l'adultère au jour de la vengeance. 35 Il n'aura égard à aucune rançon, et il n'acceptera rien, quand tu multiplierais les présents. 7 1 Mon fils, garde mes paroles, et mets en réserve par-devers toi mes commandements. 2 Garde mes commandements, et tu vivras, et garde mon enseignement comme la prunelle de tes yeux. 3 Lie-les à tes doigts, écris-les sur la table de ton coeur. 4 Dis à la sagesse : Tu es ma soeur; et appelle la prudence, ta parente. 5 Afin qu'elles te gardent de la femme étrangère, et de la foraine, qui se sert de paroles flatteuses. 6 Comme je regardais à la fenêtre de ma maison par mes treillis, 7 Je vis entre les sots, et je considérai entre les jeunes gens un jeune homme dépourvu de sens, 8 Qui passait par une rue, près du coin d'une certaine femme, et qui tenait le chemin de sa maison; 9 Sur le soir à la fin du jour, lorsque la nuit devenait noire et obscure. 10 Et voici, une femme vint au-devant de lui, parée en femme de mauvaise vie, et pleine de ruse; 11 Bruyante et débauchée, et dont les pieds ne demeurent point dans sa maison; 12 Etant tantôt dehors, et tantôt dans les rues, et se tenant aux aguets à chaque coin de rue. 13 Elle le prit, et le baisa; et avec un visage effronté, lui dit : 14 J'ai chez moi des sacrifices de prospérité; j'ai aujourd'hui payé mes voeux. 15 C'est pourquoi je suis sortie au-devant de toi, pour te chercher soigneusement, et je t'ai trouvé. 16 J'ai garni mon lit d'un tour de réseau, entrecoupé de fil d'Egypte. 17 Je l'ai parfumé de myrrhe, d'aloès et de cinnamome. 18 Viens, enivrons-nous de plaisir jusqu'au matin, réjouissons-nous en amours. 19 Car mon mari n'est point en sa maison; il s'en est allé en voyage bien loin. 20 Il a pris avec soi un sac d'argent; il retournera en sa maison au jour assigné. 21 Elle l'a fait détourner par beaucoup de douces paroles, et l'a attiré par la flatterie de ses lèvres. 22 Il s'en est aussitôt allé après elle, comme le boeuf s'en va à la boucherie, et comme le fou, aux ceps pour être châtié; 23 Jusqu'à ce que la flèche lui ait transpercé le foie; comme l'oiseau qui se hâte vers le filet, ne sachant point qu'on l'a tendu contre sa vie. 24 Maintenant donc, enfants, écoutez-moi, et soyez attentifs à mes discours. 25 Que ton coeur ne se détourne point vers les voies de cette femme, et qu'elle ne te fasse point égarer dans ses sentiers. 26 Car elle a fait tomber plusieurs blessés à mort, et tous ceux qu'elle a tués étaient forts. 27 Sa maison sont les voies du sépulcre, qui descendent aux cabinets de la mort.
Segond(i) 20 Mon fils, garde les préceptes de ton père, Et ne rejette pas l'enseignement de ta mère. 21 Lie-les constamment sur ton coeur, Attache-les à ton cou. 22 Ils te dirigeront dans ta marche, Ils te garderont sur ta couche, Ils te parleront à ton réveil. 23 Car le précepte est une lampe, et l'enseignement une lumière, Et les avertissements de la correction sont le chemin de la vie: 24 Ils te préserveront de la femme corrompue, De la langue doucereuse de l'étrangère. 25 Ne la convoite pas dans ton coeur pour sa beauté, Et ne te laisse pas séduire par ses paupières. 26 Car pour la femme prostituée on se réduit à un morceau de pain, Et la femme mariée tend un piège à la vie précieuse. 27 Quelqu'un mettra-t-il du feu dans son sein, Sans que ses vêtements s'enflamment? 28 Quelqu'un marchera-t-il sur des charbons ardents, Sans que ses pieds soient brûlés? 29 Il en est de même pour celui qui va vers la femme de son prochain: Quiconque la touche ne restera pas impuni. 30 On ne tient pas pour innocent le voleur qui dérobe Pour satisfaire son appétit, quand il a faim; 31 Si on le trouve, il fera une restitution au septuple, Il donnera tout ce qu'il a dans sa maison. 32 Mais celui qui commet un adultère avec une femme est dépourvu de sens, Celui qui veut se perdre agit de la sorte; 33 Il n'aura que plaie et ignominie, Et son opprobre ne s'effacera point. 34 Car la jalousie met un homme en fureur, Et il est sans pitié au jour de la vengeance; 35 Il n'a égard à aucune rançon, Et il est inflexible, quand même tu multiplierais les dons. 7 1 Mon fils, retiens mes paroles, Et garde avec toi mes préceptes. 2 Observe mes préceptes, et tu vivras; Garde mes enseignements comme la prunelle de tes yeux. 3 Lie-les sur tes doigts, Ecris-les sur la table de ton coeur. 4 Dis à la sagesse: Tu es ma soeur! Et appelle l'intelligence ton amie, 5 Pour qu'elles te préservent de la femme étrangère, De l'étrangère qui emploie des paroles doucereuses. 6 J'étais à la fenêtre de ma maison, Et je regardais à travers mon treillis. 7 J'aperçus parmi les stupides, Je remarquai parmi les jeunes gens un garçon dépourvu de sens. 8 Il passait dans la rue, près de l'angle où se tenait une de ces étrangères, Et il se dirigeait lentement du côté de sa demeure: 9 C'était au crépuscule, pendant la soirée, Au milieu de la nuit et de l'obscurité. 10 Et voici, il fut abordé par une femme Ayant la mise d'une prostituée et la ruse dans le coeur. 11 Elle était bruyante et rétive; Ses pieds ne restaient point dans sa maison; 12 Tantôt dans la rue, tantôt sur les places, Et près de tous les angles, elle était aux aguets. 13 Elle le saisit et l'embrassa, Et d'un air effronté lui dit: 14 Je devais un sacrifice d'actions de grâces, Aujourd'hui j'ai accompli mes voeux. 15 C'est pourquoi je suis sortie au-devant de toi Pour te chercher, et je t'ai trouvé. 16 J'ai orné mon lit de couvertures, De tapis de fil d'Egypte; 17 J'ai parfumé ma couche De myrrhe, d'aloès et de cinnamome. 18 Viens, enivrons-nous d'amour jusqu'au matin, Livrons-nous joyeusement à la volupté. 19 Car mon mari n'est pas à la maison, Il est parti pour un voyage lointain; 20 Il a pris avec lui le sac de l'argent, Il ne reviendra à la maison qu'à la nouvelle lune. 21 Elle le séduisit à force de paroles, Elle l'entraîna par ses lèvres doucereuses. 22 Il se mit tout à coup à la suivre, Comme le boeuf qui va à la boucherie, Comme un fou qu'on lie pour le châtier, 23 Jusqu'à ce qu'une flèche lui perce le foie, Comme l'oiseau qui se précipite dans le filet, Sans savoir que c'est au prix de sa vie. 24 Et maintenant, mes fils, écoutez-moi, Et soyez attentifs aux paroles de ma bouche. 25 Que ton coeur ne se détourne pas vers les voies d'une telle femme, Ne t'égare pas dans ses sentiers. 26 Car elle a fait tomber beaucoup de victimes, Et ils sont nombreux, tous ceux qu'elle a tués. 27 Sa maison, c'est le chemin du séjour des morts; Il descend vers les demeures de la mort.

  8 H5674 Il passait H8802   H7784 dans la rue H681 , près H6434 de l’angle H6805 où se tenait une de ces étrangères, Et il se dirigeait H8799   H1870 lentement du côté H1004 de sa demeure:
  9 H5399 C’était au crépuscule H3117 , pendant la soirée H6153   H380 , Au milieu H3915 de la nuit H653 et de l’obscurité.
  10 H7125 Et voici, il fut abordé H8800   H802 par une femme H7897 Ayant la mise H2181 d’une prostituée H8802   H5341 et la ruse H8803   H3820 dans le cœur.
  11 H1993 Elle était bruyante H8802   H5637 et rétive H8802   H7272  ; Ses pieds H7931 ne restaient H8799   H1004 point dans sa maison ;
  12 H6471 Tantôt H2351 dans la rue H6471 , tantôt H7339 sur les places H681 , Et près H6438 de tous les angles H693 , elle était aux aguets H8799  .
  13 H2388 Elle le saisit H8689   H5401 et l’embrassa H8804   H6440 , Et d’un air H5810 effronté H8689   H559 lui dit H8799  :
  14 H2077 Je devais un sacrifice H8002 d’actions de grâces H3117 , Aujourd’hui H7999 j’ai accompli H8765   H5088 mes vœux.
  15 H3318 C’est pourquoi je suis sortie H8804   H7125 au-devant H8800   H6440 de toi Pour te H7836 chercher H8763   H4672 , et je t’ai trouvé H8799  .
  16 H7234 J’ai orné H8804   H6210 mon lit H4765 de couvertures H2405 , De tapis H330 de fil H4714 d’Egypte ;
  17 H5130 J’ai parfumé H8804   H4904 ma couche H4753 De myrrhe H174 , d’aloès H7076 et de cinnamome.
  18 H3212 Viens H8798   H7301 , enivrons H8799   H1730 -nous d’amour H1242 jusqu’au matin H5965 , Livrons-nous joyeusement H8691   H159 à la volupté.
  19 H376 Car mon mari H1004 n’est pas à la maison H1980 , Il est parti H8804   H1870 pour un voyage H7350 lointain ;
  20 H3947 Il a pris H8804   H3027 avec lui H6872 le sac H3701 de l’argent H935 , Il ne reviendra H8799   H1004 à la maison H3117 qu’à la nouvelle lune H3677  .
  21 H5186 Elle le séduisit H8689   H7230 à force H3948 de paroles H5080 , Elle l’entraîna H8686   H8193 par ses lèvres H2506 doucereuses.
  22 H6597 Il se mit tout à coup H1980 à la suivre H8802   H310   H7794 , Comme le bœuf H935 qui va H8799   H2874 à la boucherie H191 , Comme un fou H5914 qu’on lie H4148 pour le châtier,
  23 H2671 Jusqu’à ce qu’une flèche H6398 lui perce H8762   H3516 le foie H6833 , Comme l’oiseau H4116 qui se précipite H8763   H6341 dans le filet H3045 , Sans savoir H8804   H5315 que c’est au prix de sa vie.
  24 H1121 ¶ Et maintenant, mes fils H8085 , écoutez H8798   H7181 -moi, Et soyez attentifs H8685   H561 aux paroles H6310 de ma bouche.
  25 H3820 Que ton cœur H7847 ne se détourne H8799   H1870 pas vers les voies H8582 d’une telle femme, Ne t’égare H8799   H5410 pas dans ses sentiers.
  26 H5307 Car elle a fait tomber H8689   H7227 beaucoup H2491 de victimes H6099 , Et ils sont nombreux H2026 , tous ceux qu’elle a tués H8803  .
  27 H1004 Sa maison H1870 , c’est le chemin H7585 du séjour des morts H3381  ; Il descend H8802   H2315 vers les demeures H4194 de la mort.
SE(i) 20 Guarda, hijo mío, el mandamiento de tu padre, y no dejes la ley de tu madre; 21 átala siempre en tu corazón, enlázala a tu cuello. 22 Te guiará cuando anduvieres; cuando durmieres te guardará; hablará contigo cuando despertares. 23 Porque el mandamiento es candela, y la enseñanza luz; y camino de vida las reprensiones del castigo; 24 para que te guarden de la mala mujer, de la blandura de la lengua de la extraña. 25 No codicies su hermosura en tu corazón, ni ella te prenda con sus ojos; 26 porque a causa de la mujer ramera es reducido el hombre a un bocado de pan; y la mujer caza la preciosa alma del varón. 27 ¿Tomará el hombre fuego en su seno, sin que sus vestidos se quemen? 28 ¿Andará el hombre sobre las brasas, sin que sus pies se quemen? 29 Así el que entrare a la mujer de su prójimo; no será sin culpa cualquiera que la tocare. 30 No tienen en poco al ladrón, cuando hurtare para saciar su alma teniendo hambre; 31 pero tomado, paga siete veces; da toda la sustancia de su casa. 32 Mas el que comete adulterio con la mujer, es falto de corazón; corrompe su alma el que tal hace. 33 Plaga y vergüenza hallará; y su afrenta nunca será raída. 34 Porque el celo sañudo del varón no perdonará en el día de la venganza; 35 no tendrá respeto a ninguna redención; ni querrá perdonar, aunque multipliques el cohecho. 7 1 Hijo mío, guarda mis razones, y encierra contigo mis mandamientos. 2 Guarda mis mandamientos, y vivirás; y mi ley como las niñas de tus ojos. 3 Lígalos a tus dedos; escríbelos en la tabla de tu corazón. 4 Di a la sabiduría: Tú eres mi hermana; y a la inteligencia llama parienta, 5 para que te guarden de la mujer ajena, y de la extraña que ablanda sus palabras. 6 Porque mirando yo por la ventana de mi casa, por mi celosía, 7 vi entre los simples, consideré entre los jóvenes, un joven falto de entendimiento, 8 el cual pasaba por la calle, junto a la esquina de aquella, e iba camino de su casa; 9 a la tarde del día, ya que oscurecía; en la oscuridad y tiniebla de la noche. 10 Y he aquí, una mujer que le sale al encuentro con atavío de ramera, guardada de corazón, 11 alborotadora y rencillosa, sus pies no pueden estar en casa; 12 unas veces de fuera, o bien por las plazas, acechando por todas las esquinas. 13 Y traba de él, y lo besa; desvergonzó su rostro, y le dijo: 14 Sacrificios de paz había prometido, hoy he pagado mis votos; 15 por tanto he salido a encontrarte, buscando tu rostro, y te he hallado. 16 Con paramentos he ataviado mi cama, recamados con cordoncillo de Egipto. 17 He sahumado mi cámara con mirra, áloes, y canela. 18 Ven, embriaguémonos de amores hasta la mañana; alegrémonos en amores. 19 Porque el marido no está en casa, se ha ido a un largo viaje; 20 el saco de dinero llevó en su mano, el día de la fiesta volverá a su casa. 21 Lo derribó con la mucha suavidad de sus palabras, con la blandura de sus labios lo persuadió. 22 Se va en pos de ella luego, como va el buey al degolladero, y como el loco a las prisiones para ser castigado; 23 de tal manera que la saeta traspasó su hígado; como el ave que se apresura al lazo, y no sabe que es contra su vida. 24 Ahora pues, hijos, oídme, y estad atentos a las razones de mi boca. 25 No se aparte a sus caminos tu corazón; no yerres en sus veredas. 26 Porque a muchos ha hecho caer muertos; y todos los fuertes han sido muertos por ella. 27 Caminos del sepulcro son su casa, que descienden a las cámaras de la muerte.
ReinaValera(i) 20 Guarda, hijo mío, el mandamiento de tu padre, Y no dejes la enseñanza de tu madre: 21 Atalos siempre en tu corazón, Enlázalos á tu cuello. 22 Te guiarán cuando anduvieres; cuando durmieres te guardarán; Hablarán contigo cuando despertares. 23 Porque el mandamiento es antorcha, y la enseñanza luz; Y camino de vida las reprensiones de la enseñanza: 24 Para que te guarden de la mala mujer, De la blandura de la lengua de la extraña. 25 No codicies su hermosura en tu corazón, Ni ella te prenda con sus ojos: 26 Porque á causa de la mujer ramera es reducido el hombre á un bocado de pan; Y la mujer caza la preciosa alma del varón. 27 ¿Tomará el hombre fuego en su seno, Sin que sus vestidos se quemen? 28 ¿Andará el hombre sobre las brasas, Sin que sus pies se abrasen? 29 Así el que entrare á la mujer de su prójimo; No será sin culpa cualquiera que la tocare. 30 No tienen en poco al ladrón, cuando hurtare Para saciar su alma teniendo hambre: 31 Empero tomado, paga las setenas, Da toda la sustancia de su casa. 32 Mas el que comete adulterio con la mujer, es falto de entendimiento: Corrompe su alma el que tal hace. 33 Plaga y vergüenza hallará; Y su afrenta nunca será raída. 34 Porque los celos son el furor del hombre, Y no perdonará en el día de la venganza. 35 No tendrá respeto á ninguna redención; Ni querrá perdonar, aunque multipliques los dones. 7 1 HIJO mío, guarda mis razones, Y encierra contigo mis mandamientos. 2 Guarda mis mandamientos, y vivirás; Y mi ley como las niñas de tus ojos. 3 Lígalos á tus dedos; Escríbelos en la tabla de tu corazón. 4 Di á la sabiduría: Tú eres mi hermana; Y á la inteligencia llama parienta: 5 Para que te guarden de la mujer ajena, Y de la extraña que ablanda sus palabras. 6 Porque mirando yo por la ventana de mi casa, Por mi celosía, 7 Vi entre los simples, Consideré entre los jóvenes, Un mancebo falto de entendimiento, 8 El cual pasaba por la calle, junto á la esquina de aquella, E iba camino de su casa, 9 A la tarde del día, ya que oscurecía, En la oscuridad y tiniebla de la noche. 10 Y he aquí, una mujer que le sale al encuentro Con atavío de ramera, astuta de corazón, 11 Alborotadora y rencillosa, Sus pies no pueden estar en casa; 12 Unas veces de fuera, ó bien por las plazas, Acechando por todas las esquinas. 13 Y traba de él, y bésalo; Desvergonzó su rostro, y díjole: 14 Sacrificios de paz había prometido, Hoy he pagado mis votos; 15 Por tanto he salido á encontrarte, Buscando diligentemente tu rostro, y te he hallado. 16 Con paramentos he ataviado mi cama, Recamados con cordoncillo de Egipto. 17 He sahumado mi cámara Con mirra, áloes, y cinamomo. 18 Ven, embriaguémonos de amores hasta la mañana; Alegrémonos en amores. 19 Porque el marido no está en casa, Hase ido á un largo viaje: 20 El saco de dinero llevó en su mano; El día señalado volverá á su casa. 21 Rindiólo con la mucha suavidad de sus palabras, Obligóle con la blandura de sus labios. 22 Vase en pos de ella luego, Como va el buey al degolladero, Y como el loco á las prisiones para ser castigado; 23 Como el ave que se apresura al lazo, Y no sabe que es contra su vida, Hasta que la saeta traspasó su hígado. 24 Ahora pues, hijos, oidme, Y estad atentos á las razones de mi boca. 25 No se aparte á sus caminos tu corazón; No yerres en sus veredas. 26 Porque á muchos ha hecho caer heridos; Y aun los más fuertes han sido muertos por ella. 27 Caminos del sepulcro son su casa, Que descienden á las cámaras de la muerte.

Albanian(i) 20 Biri im, ruaje urdhërimin e atit tënd dhe mos harro mësimet e nënës sate. 21 Mbaji vazhdimisht të lidhura në zemrën tënde dhe fiksoji rreth qafës sate. 22 Kur do të ecësh, do të të udhëheqin; kur të pushosh, do të të ruajnë; kur të zgjohesh, do të flasin me ty. 23 Sepse urdhërimi është një llambë, mësimi një dritë, dhe ndreqjet e mësimit janë rruga e jetës, 24 për të të mbrojtur nga gruaja e keqe, nga lajkat e gjuhës të gruas së huaj. 25 Mos dëshiro në zemrën tënde bukurinë e saj dhe mos u rrëmbe nga qepallat e saj. 26 Sepse për një prostitutë burri katandiset për një copë bukë, dhe gruaja e një tjetri gjuan shpirtin e vyer të një burri. 27 A mund të mbajë burri një zjarr në gji të tij pa djegur rrobat e trupit? 28 A mund të ecë burri mbi qymyr të ndezur pa djegur këmbët e tij? 29 Në këtë gjendje është ai që shkon tek gruaja e një tjetri; kush e prek nuk do të mbetet pa u ndëshkuar. 30 Nuk përçmohet hajduti që vjedh për të shuar urinë kur është i uritur; 31 por në rast se kapet në faj, duhet të kthejë shtatëfishin, dhe të japë tërë pasurinë e shtëpisë së tij. 32 Por ai që kryen një shkelje kurore me një grua është një njeri pa mend; ai që bën një gjë të tillë shkatërron jetën e tij. 33 Do të gjejë plagë dhe përçmim, dhe turpi i tij nuk do t'i hiqet kurrë. 34 sepse xhelozia e tërbon bashkëshortin, që do të jetë i pamëshirshëm ditën e hakmarrjes. 35 Ai nuk do të pranojë asnjë shpërblim dhe nuk do të kënaqet, edhe sikur t'i bëjnë shumë dhurata. 7 1 Biri im, ruaji fjalët e mia dhe urdhërimet e mia në veten tënde, 2 Ruaji urdhërimet e mia dhe ke për të jetuar; ruaji mësimet e mia si bebja e syve të tu. 3 Lidhi ndër gishta, shkruaji mbi tabelën e zemrës sate. 4 Thuaji diturisë: "Ti je motra ime" dhe quaje "shok" gjykimin, 5 me qëllim që të të ruajnë nga gruaja e tjetrit nga gruaja e huaj që përdor fjalë lajkatare. 6 Nga dritarja e shtëpisë sime shikoja nëpër parmakët prej hekuri 7 dhe pashë midis budallenjve; dallova midis të rinjve një djalë të ri që s'kishte gjykim, 8 që kalonte nëpër rrugë pranë qoshes të gruas së huaj dhe drejtohej nga shtëpia e saj, 9 në muzg, kur po ngryste dita, ndërsa zbriste nata e zezë dhe e errët. 10 I doli para një grua e veshur si prostitutë dhe dinake; 11 ajo është turbulluese dhe provokuese, dhe nuk di t'i mbajë këmbët në shtëpinë e saj; 12 herë mbi rrugë, herë në sheshet qëndron në pritë në çdo qoshe. 13 Kështu e zuri dhe e puthi, pastaj me paturpësi tha: 14 "Duhet të bëja flijimet e falenderimit; pikërisht sot i plotësova zotimet e mia; 15 prandaj të dola para që të të kërkoj dhe të gjeta. 16 E zbukurova shtratin tim me një mbulesë si sixhade, me li të ngjyrosur nga Egjipti; 17 e parfumova shtratin tim me mirrë, me aloe dhe me kanellë. 18 Eja, të dehemi me dashuri deri në mëngjes, të kënaqemi në qejfe dashurie, 19 sepse burri im nuk është në shtëpi, por ka shkuar në një udhëtim të gjatë; 20 ka marrë me vete një thes të vogël me pare dhe do të kthehet në shtëpi vetëm kur të jetë hëna e plotë". 21 Ajo e mashtroi me fjalë bindëse, e tërhoqi me ëmbëlsinë e buzëve të saj. 22 Ai e ndoqi pa mëdyshje, si një ka që shkon në thertore, si një i lidhur në dënimin e budallait, 23 deri sa një shigjetë nuk i shpon mëlçinë; ai nxiton si një zog, pa ditur që një lak është ngritur kundër jetës së tij. 24 Prandaj, bij të mi, më dëgjoni, kushtojuni kujdes fjalëve të gojës sime. 25 Zemra jote të mos shkojë pas rrugëve të saj, mos devijo nëpër shtigjet e saj, 26 sepse ka rrëzuar shumë të plagosur për vdekje, dhe tërë ata që ajo ka vrarë ishin burra të fortë. 27 Shtëpia e saj është rruga e Sheolit që zbret në thellësitë e vdekjes.
RST(i) 20 Сын мой! храни заповедь отца твоего и не отвергай наставления матери твоей; 21 навяжи их навсегда на сердце твое, обвяжи ими шею твою. 22 Когда ты пойдешь, они будут руководить тебя; когда ляжешь спать, будут охранять тебя; когда пробудишься, будут беседовать с тобою: 23 ибо заповедь есть светильник, и наставление – свет, и назидательные поучения – путьк жизни, 24 чтобы остерегать тебя от негодной женщины, от льстивого языка чужой. 25 Не пожелай красоты ее в сердце твоем, и да не увлечет она тебя ресницами своими; 26 потому что из-за жены блудной обнищевают до куска хлеба, а замужняя жена уловляет дорогую душу. 27 Может ли кто взять себе огонь в пазуху, чтобы не прогорело платьеего? 28 Может ли кто ходить по горящим угольям, чтобы не обжечь ног своих? 29 То же бывает и с тем, кто входит к жене ближнего своего: кто прикоснется к ней, не останется без вины. 30 Не спускают вору, если он крадет, чтобы насытить душу свою, когдаон голоден; 31 но, будучи пойман, он заплатит всемеро, отдаст все имущество дома своего. 32 Кто же прелюбодействует с женщиною, у того нет ума; тот губит душу свою, кто делает это: 33 побои и позор найдет он, и бесчестие его не изгладится, 34 потому что ревность – ярость мужа, и не пощадит он в день мщения, 35 не примет никакого выкупа и не удовольствуется, сколько бы ты ни умножал даров.7 1 Сын мой! храни слова мои и заповеди мои сокрой у себя. 2 Храни заповеди мои и живи, и учение мое, как зрачок глаз твоих. 3 Навяжи их на персты твои, напиши их на скрижали сердца твоего. 4 Скажи мудрости: „Ты сестра моя!" и разум назови родным твоим, 5 чтобы они охраняли тебя от жены другого, от чужой, которая умягчает слова свои. 6 Вот, однажды смотрел я в окно дома моего, сквозь решетку мою, 7 и увидел среди неопытных, заметил между молодыми людьми неразумного юношу, 8 переходившего площадь близ угла ее и шедшего по дороге к дому ее, 9 в сумерки в вечер дня, в ночной темноте и во мраке. 10 И вот – навстречу к нему женщина, в наряде блудницы, с коварнымсердцем, 11 шумливая и необузданная; ноги ее не живут в доме ее: 12 то на улице, то на площадях, и у каждого угла строит она ковы. 13 Она схватила его, целовала его, и с бесстыдным лицом говорила ему: 14 „мирная жертва у меня: сегодня я совершила обеты мои; 15 поэтому и вышла навстречу тебе, чтобы отыскать тебя, и – нашлатебя; 16 коврами я убрала постель мою, разноцветными тканями Египетскими; 17 спальню мою надушила смирною, алоем и корицею; 18 зайди, будем упиваться нежностями до утра, насладимся любовью, 19 потому что мужа нет дома: он отправился в дальнюю дорогу; 20 кошелек серебра взял с собою; придет домой ко дню полнолуния". 21 Множеством ласковых слов она увлекла его, мягкостью уст своих овладела им. 22 Тотчас он пошел за нею, как вол идет на убой, и как олень – на выстрел, 23 доколе стрела не пронзит печени его; как птичка кидается в силки, и не знает, что они – на погибель ее. 24 Итак, дети, слушайте меня и внимайте словам уст моих. 25 Да не уклоняется сердце твое на пути ее, не блуждай по стезям ее, 26 потому что многих повергла она ранеными, и много сильных убиты ею: 27 дом ее – пути в преисподнюю, нисходящие во внутренние жилища смерти.
Arabic(i) 20 يا ابني احفظ وصايا ابيك ولا تترك شريعة امك. 21 اربطها على قلبك دائما. قلّد بها عنقك. 22 اذا ذهبت تهديك. اذا نمت تحرسك واذا استيقظت فهي تحدّثك. 23 لان الوصية مصباح والشريعة نور وتوبيخات الادب طريق الحياة. 24 لحفظك من المرأة الشريرة من ملق لسان الاجنبية. 25 لا تشتهين جمالها بقلبك ولا تأخذك بهدبها. 26 لانه بسبب امرأة زانية يفتقر المرء الى رغيف خبز وامرأة رجل آخر تقتنص النفس الكريمة. 27 أيأخذ انسان نارا في حضنه ولا تحترق ثيابه. 28 او يمشي انسان على الجمر ولا تكتوي رجلاه. 29 هكذا من يدخل على امرأة صاحبه. كل من يمسّها لا يكون بريئا. 30 لا يستخفون بالسارق ولو سرق ليشبع نفسه وهو جوعان. 31 ان وجد يرد سبعة اضعاف ويعطي كل قنية بيته. 32 اما الزاني بامرأة فعديم العقل. المهلك نفسه هو يفعله. 33 ضربا وخزيا يجد وعاره لا يمحى. 34 لان الغيرة هي حمية الرجل فلا يشفق في يوم الانتقام. 35 لا ينظر الى فدية ما ولا يرضى ولو اكثرت الرشوة7 1 يا ابني احفظ كلامي واذخر وصاياي عندك. 2 احفظ وصاياي فتحيا وشريعتي كحدقة عينك. 3 اربطها على اصابعك اكتبها على لوح قلبك. 4 قل للحكمة انت اختي وادع الفهم ذا قرابة. 5 لتحفظك من المرأة الاجنبية من الغريبة الملقة بكلامها 6 لاني من كوة بيتي من وراء شباكي تطلعت 7 فرايت بين الجهال لاحظت بين البنين غلاما عديم الفهم 8 عابرا في الشارع عند زاويتها وصاعدا في طريق بيتها 9 في العشاء في مساء اليوم في حدقة الليل والظلام. 10 واذ بامرأة استقبلته في زي زانية وخبيثة القلب. 11 صخّابة هي وجامحة. في بيتها لا تستقر قدماها. 12 تارة في الخارج واخرى في الشوارع. وعند كل زاوية تكمن. 13 فامسكته وقبّلته. اوقحت وجهها وقالت له 14 عليّ ذبائح السلامة. اليوم اوفيت نذوري. 15 فلذلك خرجت للقائك لاطلب وجهك حتى اجدك. 16 بالديباج فرشت سريري بموشّى كتان من مصر. 17 عطرت فراشي بمرّ وعود وقرفة. 18 هلم نرتو ودّا الى الصباح. نتلذذ بالحب. 19 لان الرجل ليس في البيت. ذهب في طريق بعيدة. 20 اخذ صرّة الفضة بيده. يوم الهلال ياتي الى بيته. 21 اغوته بكثرة فنونها بملث شفتيها طوحته. 22 ذهب وراءها لوقته كثور يذهب الى الذبح او كالغبي الى قيد القصاص 23 حتى يشق سهم كبده. كطير يسرع الى الفخ ولا يدري انه لنفسه 24 والآن ايها الابناء اسمعوا لي واصغوا لكلمات فمي. 25 لا يمل قلبك الى طرقها ولا تشرد في مسالكها. 26 لانها طرحت كثيرين جرحى وكل قتلاها اقوياء. 27 طرق الهاوية بيتها هابطة الى خدور الموت
Bulgarian(i) 20 Сине мой, пази заповедта на баща си и не отхвърляй закона на майка си. 21 Вържи ги завинаги за сърцето си, увий ги около шията си. 22 Когато ходиш, ще те води, когато спиш, ще те пази, когато се събудиш, ще разговаря с теб. 23 Защото заповедта е светилник и законът — светлина, и поучителните изобличения са път на живот, 24 за да те пазят от злата жена, от ласкателния език на чужденката. 25 Не пожелавай красотата й в сърцето си и да не те улови с миглите си, 26 защото заради блудна жена човек изпада до парче хляб и жена на друг мъж лови скъпоценната душа. 27 Може ли някой да вземе огън в пазвата си и дрехите му да не изгорят? 28 Може ли някой да ходи по разпалени въглища и краката му да не обгорят? 29 Така е и с онзи, който влиза при жената на ближния си — който се докосне до нея, няма да бъде невинен. 30 Крадецът не бива презиран, ако краде, за да насити душата си, когато е гладен, 31 но ако бъде уловен, трябва да възстанови седмократно, трябва да даде целия имот на къщата си. 32 Онзи, който прелюбодейства с жена, е лишен от ум. Който прави това, погубва собствената си душа. 33 Рани и срам ще намери и позорът му няма да се изличи, 34 защото ревността събужда яростта на мъжа и той няма да пожали в деня на отмъщението. 35 Няма да приеме никакъв откуп и няма да се умилостиви, ако и да умножаваш даровете.7 1 Сине мой, пази думите ми и съхранявай заповедите ми при себе си. 2 Пази заповедите ми и живей, и закона ми — като зеницата на окото си. 3 Вържи ги на пръстите си, напиши ги на плочата на сърцето си. 4 Кажи на мъдростта: Ти си ми сестра! — и наречи разума сродник, 5 за да те пази от чужда жена, от чужденката, която ласкае с думите си. 6 Понеже погледнах през решетката си на прозореца на къщата си 7 и видях между неопитните, забелязах между синовете един млад човек, лишен от ум, 8 който минаваше по улицата близо до нейния ъгъл и вървеше по пътя към нейната къща 9 в дрезгавината, при свечеряването, в мрака на нощта и в тъмнината. 10 И ето, една жена го посрещна, облечена като блудница и с коварно сърце, 11 размирна и необуздана, краката й не се спират вкъщи, 12 кога навън, кога по площадите, причаква на всеки ъгъл. 13 И тя го хвана и го целуна, и с безсрамно лице му каза: 14 Длъжна бях да принеса примирителни жертви, днес изпълних обреците си, 15 затова излязох да те посрещна, да потърся лицето ти и те намерих. 16 Постлала съм леглото си с покривки, с покривки от пъстра египетска прежда, 17 покадила съм леглото си със смирна, алое и канела. 18 Ела, нека се опиваме с любов до зори, нека се наслаждаваме с милувки, 19 защото мъжът ми не е у дома си, замина на дълъг път, 20 взе кесия с пари в ръката си и чак на пълнолуние ще се върне у дома. 21 С многото си увещания тя го подмами, с ласкателните си устни го отвлече. 22 Той веднага тръгна след нея, както вол отива на клане, както безумен в окови за наказание, 23 докато стрела прониже дроба му, както птица бърза към примката, без да знае, че това ще й струва живота. 24 И така, синове, послушайте ме и внимавайте в думите на устата ми. 25 Да не се отклонява сърцето ти към нейните пътища, не се заблуждавай в пътеките й, 26 защото мнозина е повалила ранени и силни са всичките убити от нея. 27 Домът й е пътища към Шеол и води надолу към клетките на смъртта.
Croatian(i) 20 Sine moj, čuvaj zapovijedi oca svoga i ne odbacuj nauka matere svoje. 21 Priveži ih sebi na srce zauvijek, ovij ih oko svoga grla; 22 da te vode kada hodiš, da te čuvaju kada spavaš i da te razgovaraju kad se probudiš. 23 Jer je zapovijed svjetiljka, pouka je svjetlost, opomene stege put su života; 24 da te čuvaju od zle žene, od laskava jezika tuđinke. 25 Ne poželi u svom srcu njezine ljepote i ne daj da te osvoji trepavicama svojim, 26 jer bludnici dostaje i komad kruha, dok preljubnica lovi dragocjeni život. 27 Može li tko nositi oganj u njedrima a da mu se odjeća ne upali? 28 Može li tko hoditi po živom ugljevlju a svojih nogu da ne ožeže? 29 Tako biva onomu tko ide k ženi svoga bližnjega: neće ostati bez kazne tko god se nje dotakne. 30 Ne sramote li lupeža sve ako je krao da gladan utoli glad: 31 uhvaćen, on sedmerostruko vraća i plaća svim imanjem kuće svoje. 32 Nerazuman je, dakle, tko se upušta s preljubnicom; dušu svoju gubi koji tako čini. 33 Bruke i sramote dopada i rug mu se nikad ne briše. 34 Jer bijesna je ljubomornost u muža: on ne zna za milost u osvetni dan; 35 ne pristaje ni na kakav otkup i ne prima ma kolike mu darove dao. 7 1 Čuvaj, sine, riječi moje i pohrani moje zapovijedi kod sebe. 2 Čuvaj moje zapovijedi, i bit ćeš živ, i nauk moj kao zjenicu oka svoga. 3 Priveži ih sebi na prste, upiši ih na ploči srca svoga; 4 reci mudrosti: "Moja si sestra" i razboritost nazovi "sestričnom", 5 da te čuva od žene preljubnice, od tuđinke koja laskavo govori. 6 Kad bijah jednom na prozoru svoje kuće i gledah van kroz rešetku, 7 vidjeh među lakovjernima, opazih među momcima nerazumna mladića: 8 prolazio je ulicom kraj njezina ugla i koracao putem k njezinoj kući 9 u sumraku između dana i večeri kad se hvata noćna tmina; 10 i gle, susrete ga žena, bludno odjevena i s prijevarom u srcu. 11 Jogunasta bijaše i razuzdana, noge joj se nisu mogle u kući zadržati; 12 bila je čas na ulici, čas na trgovima i vrebala kod svakog ugla; 13 i uhvati ga i poljubi i reče mu bezobrazna lica: 14 "Bila sam dužna žrtvu pričesnicu, i danas izvrših svoj zavjet; 15 zato sam ti izašla u susret, da te tražim, i nađoh te. 16 Svoju sam postelju nastrla sagovima, vezenim pokrivačima misirskim; 17 svoj sam krevet namirisala smirnom, alojem i cimetom. 18 Hajde da se opijamo nasladom do jutra i da se radujemo užicima ljubavi. 19 Jer muža mi nema kod kuće: otišao je na dalek put; 20 uzeo je sa sobom novčani tobolac; a vratit će se kući tek o uštapu." 21 Tako ga zavede svojim vičnim nagovorom, odvuče ga svojim glatkim usnama. 22 I ludo on pođe za njom, kao što vol ide na klaonicu i kao što jelen zapleten u mrežu čeka 23 dok mu strijela ne probije jetra, i kao ptica što ulijeće u zamku, i ne znajući da će ga to života stajati. 24 Zato me, sine moj, poslušaj i čuj riječi mojih usta. 25 Nek' ti srce ne zastranjuje na njezine putove i ne lutaj po njezinim stazama. 26 Jer je mnoge smrtno ranila i oborila, i mnogo je onih što ih je pobila. 27 U Podzemlje vode putovi kroz njenu kuću, dolje u odaje smrti.
BKR(i) 20 Ostříhejž, synu můj, přikázaní otce svého, a neopouštěj naučení matky své. 21 Přivazuj je k srdci svému ustavičně, a k hrdlu svému je připínej. 22 Kamžkoli půjdeš, ono tě zprovodí, když spáti budeš, bude tě ostříhati, a když procítíš, bude s tebou rozmlouvati, 23 (Nebo přikázaní jest svíce, a naučení světlo, a cesta života jsou domlouvání vyučující), 24 Aby tě ostříhalo od ženy zlé, od úlisnosti jazyka ženy cizí. 25 Nežádejž krásy její v srdci svém, a nechať tě nejímá víčky svými. 26 Nebo příčinou ženy cizoložné zchudl bys až do kusu chleba, anobrž žena cizoložná drahou duši ulovuje. 27 Může-liž kdo skrýti oheň v klíně svém, aby roucho jeho se nepropálilo? 28 Může-liž kdo choditi po uhlí řeřavém, aby nohy jeho se neopálily? 29 Tak kdož vchází k ženě bližního svého, nebudeť bez viny, kdož by se jí koli dotkl. 30 Neuvozují potupy na zloděje, jestliže by ukradl, aby nasytil život svůj, když lační, 31 Ač postižen jsa, navracuje to sedmernásobně, vším statkem domu svého nahražuje: 32 Ale cizoložící s ženou blázen jest; kdož hubí duši svou, tenť to činí; 33 Trápení a lehkosti dochází, a útržka jeho nebývá shlazena. 34 Nebo zůřivý jest hněv muže, a neodpouštíť v den pomsty. 35 Neohlídá se na žádnou záplatu, aniž přijímá, by i množství darů dával. 7 1 Synu můj, ostříhej řečí mých, a přikázaní má schovej u sebe. 2 Ostříhej přikázaní mých, a živ budeš, a naučení mého jako zřítelnice očí svých. 3 Přivaž je na prsty své, napiš je na tabuli srdce svého. 4 Rci moudrosti: Sestra má jsi ty, a rozumnost přítelkyní jmenuj, 5 Aby tě ostříhala od ženy cizí, od postranní, jenž řečmi svými lahodí. 6 Nebo z okna domu svého okénkem vyhlédaje, 7 Viděl jsem mezi hloupými, spatřil jsem mezi mládeží mládence bláznivého. 8 Kterýž šel po ulici vedlé úhlu jejího, a cestou k domu jejímu kráčel, 9 V soumrak, u večer dne, ve tmách nočních a v mrákotě. 10 A aj, žena potkala ho v ozdobě nevěstčí a chytrého srdce, 11 Štěbetná a opovážlivá, v domě jejím nezůstávají nohy její, 12 Jednak vně, jednak na ulici u každého úhlu úklady činící. 13 I chopila jej, a políbila ho, a opovrhši stud, řekla jemu: 14 Oběti pokojné jsou u mne, dnes splnila jsem slib svůj. 15 Protož vyšla jsem vstříc tobě, abych pilně hledala tváři tvé, i nalezla jsem tě. 16 Koberci jsem obestřela lůže své, s řezbami a prostěradly Egyptskými, 17 Vykadila jsem pokojík svůj mirrou a aloe a skořicí. 18 Poď, opojujme se milostí až do jitra, obveselíme se v milosti. 19 Nebo není muže doma, odšel na cestu dalekou. 20 Pytlík peněz vzal s sebou, v jistý den vrátí se do domu svého. 21 I naklonila ho mnohými řečmi svými, a lahodností rtů svých přinutila jej. 22 Šel za ní hned, jako vůl k zabití chodívá, a jako blázen v pouta, jimiž by trestán byl. 23 Dokudž nepronikla střela jater jeho, pospíchal jako pták k osídlu, nevěda, že ono bezživotí jeho jest. 24 Protož nyní, synové, slyšte mne, a pozorujte řečí úst mých. 25 Neuchyluj se k cestám jejím srdce tvé, aniž se toulej po stezkách jejích. 26 Nebo mnohé zranivši, porazila, a silní všickni zmordováni jsou od ní. 27 Cesty pekelné dům její, vedoucí do skrýší smrti.
Danish(i) 20 Min Søn! bevar din Faders Bud, og forlad ikke din Moders Lov. 21 Knyt dem til dit Hjerte for stedse, bind dem om din Hals! 22 Naar du vandrer, skal den lede dig, naar du lægger dig, skal den bevare dig, og naar du opvaagner, skal den tale til dig. 23 Thi Budet er en Lampe og Loven et Lys og Undervisningens Revselse er Vej til Livet; 24 at den maa bevare dig fra en ond Kvinde, fra en fremmed Tunges Sledskhed. 25 Begær ikke hendes Dejlighed i dit Hjerte, og lad hende ikke indtage dig med sine Øjenlaage! 26 Thi for en Skøges Skyld gælder det kun om et Stykke Brød, men en anden Mands Hustru fanger den dyrebare Sjæl. 27 Mon nogen kan tage Ild i sin Barm, uden at hans Klæder brændes op 28 Eller man nogen kan gaa paa Gløder, uden at hans Fødder brændes? 29 Saa sker det ham, som gaar ind til sin Næstes Hustru ingen, som rører hende; slipper fri for Straf. 30 Man ringeagter ikke; at en Tyv stjæler for at mætte sig; naar han er hungrig; 31 men naar: han bliver greben, maa han betale syv Fold, han maa give alt sit Hus's Gods. 32 Den, som bedriver Hor med en Kvinde, fattes Forstand; den, som vil fordærve sin Sjeel, han, ja han gør sligt. 33 Plage og Skam skal ramme ham, og hans Skændsel skal ikke udslettes. 34 Thi nidkær er Mandens Vrede, og han skal ikke skaane paa Hævnens Dag; 35 han skal ikke tage nogen Bod for gyldig og ikke samtykke, om du end vilde give megen Skræk. 7 1 Min Søn! bevar mine Ord, og gem mine Bud hos dig. 2 Hold mine Bud, saa skal du leve, og min Lov som din Øjesten. 3 Bind dem om dine Fingre, skriv dem paa dit Hjertes Tavle! 4 Sig til Visdommen: Du er min Søster, og Forstanden kalde du din Kynding; 5 for at den maa bevare dig fra en fremmed Kvinde, fra en ubekendt, som gør sine Ord glatte. 6 Thi jeg saa ud af mit Hus's Vindu, igennem mit Gitter; 7 og jeg saa iblandt de uerfarne, jeg blev var iblandt Sønnerne et ungt Menneske som fattedes Forstand, 8 sog han gik forbi paa Gaden ved hendes Hjørne og skred frem ad Vejen til hendes Hus, 9 i Tusmørket om Aftenen efter Dagen midt i Natten og Mørket. 10 Og se, en Kvinde mødte ham i Horestykke og underfundig i Hjertet, 11 støjende og ustyrlig, hendes Fødder kunne ikke blive i hendes Hus. 12 Stundom er hun ude, stundom paa Gaderne og lurer ved alle Hjørner. 13 Og hun tog fat paa hø og kyssede, ham, hun gjorde sit Ansigt frækt og sagde til ham. 14 Der paalaa mig takoffer, i Dag har jeg betalt mine Løfter; 15 derfor er jeg gaaet ud at møde dig, at søge dit Ansigt, og jeg har fundet dig. 16 Jeg har redet mit Leje med Tæpper, med stribet Tøj af Garn fra Ægypten; 17 jeg har overstænket min Senb med Myrra. Aloe og Kanel; 18 kom, lader os beruse os i Kærlighed indtil Morgenen, lader os forlyste os i Elskov; 19 thi Manden er ikke hjemme, han er faren lang Vej bort; 20 han tog Pengeknuden med sig, han kommer hjem til Fuldmaanedagen. 21 Hun bøjede ham med sin megen Overtalelse, tilskyndte ham med sine smigrende Læber. 22 Hvo der hastelig gaar efter hende, kommer som Oksen til Slagterbænken og som i Fodlænken, der er til Daarens Tugtelse, 23 indtil en Pil sønderskærer hans Lever; ligesom Fuglen skynder sig til Snaren og ved ikke, at det gælder dens Liv. 24 Saa hører mig nu, I Børn! og agter paa min Munds Ord! 25 Lad dit Hjerte ikke vige af til hendes Veje, lad dig ikke forvildes paa hendes Stier; 26 thi mange ere de gennemborede, som hun har fældet, og mangfoldige alle de, hun har ihjelslaget. 27 Hendes Hus ere Veje til Dødsriget; de gaa ned til Dødens Kamre.

  23 H4687 因為誡命 H5216 是燈 H8451 ，法則 H216 （或譯：指教）是光 H4148 ，訓誨 H8433 的責備 H2416 是生命 H1870 的道，
  24 H8104 能保你 H7451 遠離惡 H802 婦 H5237 ，遠離外女 H2513 諂媚 H3956 的舌頭。
  25 H3824 你心中 H2530 不要戀慕 H3308 他的美色 H6079 ，也不要被他眼皮 H3947 勾引。
  26 H2181 因為，妓 H802 女 H1157 能使人 H3603 只剩一塊 H3899 餅 H802 H376 ；淫婦 H6679 獵取 H3368 人寶貴的 H5315 生命。
  27 H376 人 H2436 若懷裡 H2846 搋 H784 火 H899 ，衣服 H8313 豈能不燒呢？
  28 H376 人 H1513 若在火炭 H1980 上走 H7272 ，腳 H3554 豈能不燙呢？
  29 H935 親近 H7453 鄰舍 H802 之妻 H5060 的，也是如此；凡挨近 H5352 他的，不免受罰。
  30 H1590 賊 H7456 因飢餓 H1589 偷竊 H4390 H5315 充飢 H936 ，人不藐視他，
  31 H4672 若被找著 H7999 ，他必賠還 H7659 七倍 H1004 ，必將家中 H1952 所有的 H5414 盡都償還。
  32 H802 與婦人 H5003 行淫 H2638 的，便是無 H3820 知 H6213 ；行這事的 H7843 ，必喪掉 H5315 生命。
  33 H4672 他必受 H5061 傷損 H4672 ，必被 H7036 凌辱 H2781 ；他的羞恥 H4229 不得塗抹。
  34 H1397 因為人 H7068 的嫉恨 H2534 成了烈怒 H5359 ，報仇 H3117 的時候 H2550 決不留情。
  35 H3724 甚麼贖價 H5375 H6440 ，他都不顧 H7235 ；你雖送許多 H7810 禮物 H14 ，他也不肯干休。

  1 H1121 我兒 H8104 ，你要遵守 H561 我的言語 H4687 ，將我的命令 H6845 存記在心。
  2 H8104 遵守 H4687 我的命令 H2421 就得存活 H8451 ；保守我的法則 H5869 （或譯：指教），好像保守眼中 H380 的瞳人，
  3 H7194 繫在 H676 你指頭 H3789 上，刻在 H3820 你心 H3871 版上。
  4 H2451 對智慧 H559 說 H269 ：你是我的姊妹 H7121 ，稱呼 H998 聰明 H4129 為你的親人，
  5 H8104 他就保你 H2114 H802 遠離淫婦 H2505 ，遠離說諂媚 H561 話 H5237 的外女。
  6 H1004 我曾在我房屋 H2474 的窗戶內 H822 ，從我窗櫺 H8259 之間往外觀看：
  7 H7200 見 H6612 愚蒙人內 H1121 ，少年人中 H995 ，分明 H2638 有一個無 H3820 知 H5288 的少年人，
  8 H7784 從街上 H5674 經過 H681 ，走近 H6434 淫婦的巷口 H6805 ，直往 H1004 通他家 H1870 的路 H6805 去，
  9 H5399 在黃昏 H3117 H6153 ，或晚上 H653 H3915 ，或半夜 H380 ，或黑暗之中。
  10 H802 看哪，有一個婦人 H7125 來迎接他 H2181 ，是妓女 H7897 的打扮 H5341 ，有詭詐 H3820 的心思。
  11 H1993 這婦人喧嚷 H5637 ，不守約束 H1004 ，在家裡 H7931 停 H7272 不住腳，
  12 H6471 有時 H7339 在街市上 H6471 ，有時 H2351 在寬闊處 H681 ，或在 H6438 各巷口 H693 蹲伏，
  13 H2388 拉住 H5401 那少年人，與他親嘴 H6440 ，臉 H5810 無羞恥 H559 對他說：
  14 H8002 平安 H2077 祭 H3117 在我這裡，今日 H7999 纔還了 H5088 我所許的願。
  15 H3318 因此，我出來 H7125 迎接你 H7836 ，懇切求見 H6440 你的面 H4672 ，恰巧遇見了你。
  16 H4765 我已經用繡花毯子 H4714 和埃及 H330 線織的 H2405 花紋布 H7234 鋪了 H6210 我的床。
  17 H4753 我又用沒藥 H174 、沉香 H7076 、桂皮 H5130 薰了 H4904 我的榻。
  18 H3212 你來 H7301 ，我們可以飽享 H1730 愛情 H1242 ，直到早晨 H159 ；我們可以彼此親愛 H5965 歡樂。
  19 H376 因為我丈夫 H1004 不在家 H1980 ，出門行 H7350 遠 H1870 路；
  20 H3027 他手 H3947 拿 H3701 銀 H6872 囊 H3117 H3677 ，必到月望 H935 纔回 H1004 家。
  21 H7230 淫婦用許多 H3948 巧言 H5186 誘他隨從 H2506 ，用諂媚的 H8193 嘴 H5080 逼他同行。
  22 H6597 少年人立刻 H1980 H310 跟隨他 H7794 ，好像牛 H935 往 H2874 宰殺之地 H191 ，又像愚昧人 H5914 帶鎖鍊 H4148 去受刑罰，
  23 H2671 直等箭 H6398 穿 H3516 他的肝 H6833 ，如同雀鳥 H4116 急入 H6341 網羅 H3045 ，卻不知 H5315 是自喪己命。
  24 H1121 眾子啊 H8085 ，現在要聽從 H7181 我，留心聽 H6310 我口中 H561 的話。
  25 H3820 你的心 H7847 不可偏向 H1870 淫婦的道 H8582 H5410 ，不要入他的迷途。
  26 H2491 因為，被他傷害 H5307 仆倒的 H7227 不少 H2026 ；被他殺戮的 H6099 而且甚多。
  27 H1004 他的家 H7585 是在陰間 H1870 之路 H3381 ，下到 H4194 死亡 H2315 之宮。
CUVS(i) 20 我 儿 ， 要 谨 守 你 父 亲 的 诫 命 ； 不 可 离 弃 你 母 亲 的 法 则 （ 或 译 ： 指 教 ） ， 21 要 常 繫 在 你 心 上 ， 挂 在 你 项 上 。 22 你 行 走 ， 他 必 引 导 你 ； 你 躺 卧 ， 他 必 保 守 你 ； 你 睡 醒 ， 他 必 与 你 谈 论 。 23 因 为 诫 命 是 灯 ， 法 则 （ 或 译 ： 指 教 ） 是 光 ， 训 诲 的 责 备 是 生 命 的 道 ， 24 能 保 你 远 离 恶 妇 ， 远 离 外 女 谄 媚 的 舌 头 。 25 你 心 中 不 要 恋 慕 他 的 美 色 ， 也 不 要 被 他 眼 皮 勾 引 。 26 因 为 ， 妓 女 能 使 人 只 剩 一 块 饼 ； 淫 妇 猎 取 人 宝 贵 的 生 命 。 27 人 若 怀 里 搋 火 ， 衣 服 岂 能 不 烧 呢 ？ 28 人 若 在 火 炭 上 走 ， 脚 岂 能 不 烫 呢 ？ 29 亲 近 邻 舍 之 妻 的 ， 也 是 如 此 ； 凡 挨 近 他 的 ， 不 免 受 罚 。 30 贼 因 饥 饿 偷 窃 充 饥 ， 人 不 藐 视 他 ， 31 若 被 找 着 ， 他 必 赔 还 七 倍 ， 必 将 家 中 所 冇 的 尽 都 偿 还 。 32 与 妇 人 行 淫 的 ， 便 是 无 知 ； 行 这 事 的 ， 必 丧 掉 生 命 。 33 他 必 受 伤 损 ， 必 被 凌 辱 ； 他 的 羞 耻 不 得 涂 抹 。 34 因 为 人 的 嫉 恨 成 了 烈 怒 ， 报 仇 的 时 候 决 不 留 情 。 35 甚 么 赎 价 ， 他 都 不 顾 ； 你 虽 送 许 多 礼 物 ， 他 也 不 肯 干 休 。7 1 我 儿 ， 你 要 遵 守 我 的 言 语 ， 将 我 的 命 令 存 记 在 心 。 2 遵 守 我 的 命 令 就 得 存 活 ； 保 守 我 的 法 则 （ 或 译 ： 指 教 ） ， 好 象 保 守 眼 中 的 瞳 人 ， 3 繫 在 你 指 头 上 ， 刻 在 你 心 版 上 。 4 对 智 慧 说 ： 你 是 我 的 姊 妹 ， 称 呼 聪 明 为 你 的 亲 人 ， 5 他 就 保 你 远 离 淫 妇 ， 远 离 说 谄 媚 话 的 外 女 。 6 我 曾 在 我 房 屋 的 窗 户 内 ， 从 我 窗 棂 之 间 往 外 观 看 ： 7 见 愚 蒙 人 内 ， 少 年 人 中 ， 分 明 冇 一 个 无 知 的 少 年 人 ， 8 从 街 上 经 过 ， 走 近 淫 妇 的 巷 口 ， 直 往 通 他 家 的 路 去 ， 9 在 黄 昏 ， 或 晚 上 ， 或 半 夜 ， 或 黑 暗 之 中 。 10 看 哪 ， 冇 一 个 妇 人 来 迎 接 他 ， 是 妓 女 的 打 扮 ， 冇 诡 诈 的 心 思 。 11 这 妇 人 喧 嚷 ， 不 守 约 束 ， 在 家 里 停 不 住 脚 ， 12 冇 时 在 街 市 上 ， 冇 时 在 宽 阔 处 ， 或 在 各 巷 口 蹲 伏 ， 13 拉 住 那 少 年 人 ， 与 他 亲 嘴 ， 脸 无 羞 耻 对 他 说 ： 14 平 安 祭 在 我 这 里 ， 今 日 纔 还 了 我 所 许 的 愿 。 15 因 此 ， 我 出 来 迎 接 你 ， 恳 切 求 见 你 的 面 ， 恰 巧 遇 见 了 你 。 16 我 已 经 用 绣 花 毯 子 和 埃 及 线 织 的 花 纹 布 鋪 了 我 的 床 。 17 我 又 用 没 葯 、 沉 香 、 桂 皮 薰 了 我 的 榻 。 18 你 来 ， 我 们 可 以 饱 享 爱 情 ， 直 到 早 晨 ； 我 们 可 以 彼 此 亲 爱 欢 乐 。 19 因 为 我 丈 夫 不 在 家 ， 出 门 行 远 路 ； 20 他 手 拿 银 囊 ， 必 到 月 望 纔 回 家 。 21 淫 妇 用 许 多 巧 言 诱 他 随 从 ， 用 谄 媚 的 嘴 逼 他 同 行 。 22 少 年 人 立 刻 跟 随 他 ， 好 象 牛 往 宰 杀 之 地 ， 又 象 愚 昧 人 带 锁 鍊 去 受 刑 罚 ， 23 直 等 箭 穿 他 的 肝 ， 如 同 雀 鸟 急 入 网 罗 ， 却 不 知 是 自 丧 己 命 。 24 众 子 啊 ， 现 在 要 听 从 我 ， 留 心 听 我 口 中 的 话 。 25 你 的 心 不 可 偏 向 淫 妇 的 道 ， 不 要 入 他 的 迷 途 。 26 因 为 ， 被 他 伤 害 仆 倒 的 不 少 ； 被 他 杀 戮 的 而 且 甚 多 。 27 他 的 家 是 在 阴 间 之 路 ， 下 到 死 亡 之 宫 。

Finnish(i) 20 Poikani, pidä isäs käskyt, ja älä hylkää äitis lakia. 21 Sido ne alati yhteen sydämes päälle, ja ripusta ne kaulaas. 22 Koskas vaellat, niin ne johdattavat sinua; koskas lepäät, niin he varjelevat sinua; koskas heräät, niin he puhuttelevat sinua. 23 Sillä käsky on niinkuin kynttilä, ja laki niinkuin valkeus, ja opin kuritus elämän tie, 24 Ettäs varjeltaisiin pahasta vaimosta, ja muukalaisen makiasta kielestä. 25 Älä himoitse sydämessäs hänen kauneuttansa, ettes vieteltäisi hänen silmäinsä kiillosta. 26 Sillä portto saattaa leivältä pois; mutta aviovaimo saattaa kauniin elämän. 27 Taitaako joku kätkeä tulen poveensa, ettei hänen vaattensa pala? 28 Eli taitaako joku hiilten päällä kävellä, ettei hän jalkojansa polta? 29 Niin sille tapahtuu, joka lähimmäisensä vaimoa lähentelee; ei se pääse rankaisematta, joka häneen ryhtyy. 30 Ei se ole varkaalle niin suuri häpiä, jos hän varastaa henkensä piteeksi, koska nälkä on: 31 Jos hän käsitetään, antaa hän sen seitsemänkertaisesti jälleen, ja kaiken huoneensa saadun; 32 Mutta joka vaimon janssa huoruuteen lankee, se on tyhmä, ja joka sielunsa kadottaa tahtoo, se niin tekee. 33 Rangaistus ja häpiä tulee hänen päällensä, ja hänen häväistyksensä ei pyyhitä pois. 34 Sillä miehen vihalla on kiivaus: ei hän säästä häntä koston päivänä: 35 Ei hän lukua pidä sovittajasta, eikä ota lahjoja, vaikka paljon antaisit. 7 1 Poikani! kätke minun sanani, ja pidä tykönäs minun käskyni. 2 Ota vaari minun käskyistäni, niin sinä elää saat, ja minun laistani, niinkuin silmäs terästä. 3 Sido ne sormiis, kirjoita ne sydämes tauluun. 4 Sano viiisaudelle: sinä olet sisareni, ja kutsu toimi ystäväkses, 5 Että hän sinua varjelis muukalaisesta vaimosta, ja vieraasta, jonka sanat sileät ovat. 6 Sillä minä kurkistelin huoneeni akkunasta läpi häkin. 7 Ja näin tyhmän nuorukaisen taitamattomain seassa, ja äkkäsin hänen poikain joukossa; 8 Joka käveli kaduilla hänen nurkkainsa taitse, ja asteli sitä tietä, joka meni hänen huoneeseensa. 9 Hämärissä, kuin päivä ehtoolla oli, ja jo yö ja pimiä tuli: 10 Ja katso, häntä kohtasi vaimo porton vaatteilla, kavala, 11 Tuima ja hillimätöin, jonka jalat ei pysyneet huoneessansa. 12 Nyt on hän ulkona, nyt kaduilla, ja väijyy joka nurkassa. 13 Hän otti hänen kiinni, ja suuta antoi hänen ja sanoi häpeemättä: 14 Minä olen tehnyt kiitosuhrin, ja olen tätäpänä täyttänyt lupaukseni: 15 Sentähden olen minä tullut sinua vastaan, varhain sinua etsimään, ja olen nyt sinut löytänyt. 16 Minä olen koreasti valmistanut vuoteeni Egyptin kirjavalla vaatteella, 17 Ja olen hyvänhajuiseksi tehnyt kammioni mirhamilla, aloella ja kanelilla. 18 Tule, harjoittakaamme kyllin hekumaa aamuun asti, ja huvitelkaammme meitämme keskenämme rakkaudella. 19 Sillä mies ei ole kotona: hän on pitkälle matkalle mennyt. 20 Hän on ottanut rahasäkin myötänsä, ja tulee kotia äsken määrätyllä päivällä. 21 Ja niin hän houkutteli monelöla sanalla, ja vaati häntä makialla puheella. 22 Hän meni hänen kanssansa nopiasti, niinkuin teurastettava härkä, ja niinkuin jalkapuuhun, jolla tyhmät rangoitaan. 23 Siihenasti kuin hän nuolilla ampuu hänen maksansa lävitse: ja niinkuin lintu itsensä kiiruhtaa paulaan, ja ei tiedä sitä hengellensä vaaralliseksi. 24 Niin kuulkaat siis minua, minun lapseni, ja ottakaat vaari minun suuni sanoista. 25 Älköön sydämes poiketko hänen tiellensä: älä salli sinuas vietellä hänen retkillensä. 26 Sillä hän on monta haavoittanut ja langettanut, ja kaikkinaiset voimalliset ovat häneltä tapetut. 27 Hänen huoneensa ovat helvetin tiet, jotka menevät alas kuoleman kammioihin.
FinnishPR(i) 20 Säilytä, poikani, isäsi käsky äläkä hylkää äitisi opetusta. 21 Pidä ne aina sydämellesi sidottuina, kääri ne kaulasi ympärille. 22 Kulkiessasi ne sinua taluttakoot, maatessasi sinua vartioikoot, herätessäsi sinua puhutelkoot. 23 Sillä käsky on lamppu, opetus on valo, ja kurittava nuhde on elämän tie, 24 että varjeltuisit pahasta naisesta, vieraan vaimon liukkaasta kielestä. 25 Älköön sydämesi himoitko hänen kauneuttaan, älköönkä hän sinua katseillaan vangitko. 26 Sillä porttonaisen tähden menee leipäkakkukin, ja naitu nainen pyydystää kallista sielua. 27 Voiko kukaan kuljettaa tulta helmassaan, puvun häneltä palamatta? 28 Voiko kukaan kävellä hiilloksella, jalkain häneltä kärventymättä? 29 Samoin käy sen, joka menee lähimmäisensä vaimon luo: ei jää rankaisematta kukaan, joka häneen kajoaa. 30 Eikö halveksita varasta, vaikka hän olisi nälissään varastanut hengenpiteikseen? 31 Onhan hänen, jos tavataan, seitsenkertaisesti korvattava, annettava kaikki talonsa varat. 32 Joka vaimon kanssa avion rikkoo, on mieletön; itsensä menettää, joka niin tekee. 33 Hän saa vaivan ja häpeän, eikä hänen häväistystään pyyhitä pois. 34 Sillä luulevaisuus nostaa miehen vihan, ja säälimätön on hän koston päivänä. 35 Ei hän huoli mistään lunastusmaksusta, ei suostu, vaikka kuinka lahjaasi lisäät. 7 1 Poikani, noudata minun sanojani ja kätke mieleesi minun käskyni. 2 Noudata minun käskyjäni, niin saat elää, säilytä opetukseni kuin silmäteräsi. 3 Sido ne kiinni sormiisi, kirjoita ne sydämesi tauluun. 4 Sano viisaudelle: "Sinä olet sisareni", kutsu ymmärrystä sukulaiseksi, 5 että varjeltuisit irstaalta naiselta, vieraalta vaimolta, joka sanoillansa liehakoitsee. 6 Sillä minä katselin taloni ikkunasta ristikon läpi, 7 ja minä näin yksinkertaisten joukossa, havaitsin poikain seassa nuorukaisen, joka oli mieltä vailla. 8 Hän kulki katua erään naisen kulmaukseen ja asteli hänen majaansa päin 9 päivän illaksi hämärtyessä, yön aikana, pimeässä. 10 Ja katso, nainen tulee häntä vastaan, porton puvussa, kavala sydämeltä. 11 Hän on levoton ja hillitön, eivät pysy hänen jalkansa kotona; 12 milloin hän on kadulla, milloin toreilla, ja väijyy joka kulmassa. 13 Hän tarttui nuorukaiseen, suuteli häntä ja julkeasti katsoen sanoi hänelle: 14 "Minun oli uhrattava yhteysuhri, tänä päivänä olen täyttänyt lupaukseni. 15 Sentähden läksin ulos sinua vastaan, etsiäkseni sinua, ja olen sinut löytänyt. 16 Olen leposijalleni peitteitä levittänyt, kirjavaa Egyptin liinavaatetta. 17 Vuoteeseeni olen pirskoitellut mirhaa, aloeta ja kanelia. 18 Tule, nauttikaamme lemmestä aamuun asti, riemuitkaamme rakkaudesta. 19 Sillä mieheni ei ole kotona, hän meni matkalle kauas. 20 Rahakukkaron hän otti mukaansa ja tulee kotiin vasta täydenkuun päiväksi." 21 Hän taivutti hänet paljolla houkuttelullaan, vietteli liukkailla huulillansa: 22 kkiä hän lähti hänen jälkeensä, niinkuin härkä menee teuraaksi, niinkuin hullu jalkaraudoissa kuritettavaksi, 23 niinkuin lintu kiiruhtaa paulaan; eikä tiennyt, että oli henkeänsä kaupalla, kunnes nuoli lävisti hänen maksansa. 24 Sentähden, poikani, kuulkaa minua, kuunnelkaa minun suuni sanoja. 25 Älköön poiketko sydämesi tuon naisen teille, älä eksy hänen poluillensa. 26 Sillä paljon on surmattuja, hänen kaatamiaan, lukuisasti niitä, jotka hän on kaikki tappanut. 27 Hänen majastaan käyvät tuonelan tiet, jotka vievät alas tuonelan kammioihin.
Haitian(i) 20 Pitit mwen, toujou fè sa papa ou di ou fè. Pa janm bliye sa manman ou te moutre ou. 21 Kenbe pawòl yo nan kè ou, pa janm bliye yo. Mete yo nan kou ou tankou yon kolye. 22 Pawòl sa yo va moutre ou bon chemen nan tou sa w'ap fè. Y'ap pwoteje ou lè w'ap dòmi lannwit. Y'a ba ou konsèy lè je ou klè. 23 Pawòl sa yo ap tankou yon lanp pou ou. Sa yo moutre ou ap tankou yon limyè nan lavi ou. Lè y'ap korije ou, lè y'ap rale zòrèy ou, se moutre y'ap moutre ou chemen lavi. 24 Y'ap fè ou rete lwen fanm k'ap twonpe mari yo, pou ou pa pran nan pawòl dous madan marye ki nan dezòd. 25 Yo te mèt bèl kou yo bèl, pa kite yo pran tèt ou. Pa kite yo pran tèt ou lè y'ap fè je dou ba ou. 26 Yon jennès ka koute yon kraze kòb. Men, yon fanm adiltè dèyè pou l' pran tou sa ou genyen. 27 Ou pa ka sere dife anndan rad sou ou pou rad la pa boule. 28 Ou pa ka mache sou chabon dife pou pye ou pa boule. 29 Konsa tou, se yon gwo danje pou ou kouri dèyè fanm yon lòt gason. Depi ou manyen yon fanm konsa, ou gen pou ou peye pou sa. 30 Menm lè yon vòlò vòlò paske li grangou, se pa sa ki di li pa vòlò pou sa. 31 Si yo bare l', y'ap fè l' peye sèt fwa lavalè sa l' pran an. Y'a fè l' bay tou sa li gen lakay li. 32 Men, yon nonm ki fè adiltè, se moun fou li ye, se detwi l'ap detwi tèt li. 33 L'ap pran baton. Y'ap pase l' anba kont betiz, l'ap toujou wont pou sa l' fè a. 34 Lè yon mari ap fè jalouzi pou madanm li, nanpwen move tankou l'. Jou li mete men sou nèg la, pa gen anyen li p'ap fè l'. 35 Li p'ap asepte lajan. Nanpwen kado ki pou fè l' bliye sa. 7 1 Pitit mwen, chonje sa m'ap moutre ou la a. Pa janm bliye sa m'ap di ou pou fè a. 2 Si ou fè sa m'ap di ou pou fè a, w'a viv. Konsidere sa m' moutre ou la tankou de grenn je nan tèt ou. 3 Mete li nan tout dwèt ou tankou bag, kenbe li nan kè ou pou ou pa janm bliye l'. 4 Konsidere konesans tankou sè ou. Konsidere bon konprann tankou pi bon zanmi ou. 5 Y'ap fè ou rete lwen madanm lòt moun. Yo p'ap kite ou pran nan pawòl dous madan marye ki nan dezòd. 6 Yon jou, antan mwen nan fennèt lakay mwen, mwen t'ap gade nan fant jalouzi a. 7 Mwen wè anpil jenn gason san esperyans nan lavi. Te gen yonn ladan yo menm ki te fin fou. 8 Li t'ap mache nan lari a, li rive bò kay yon fanm. Konsa, konsa, li pran chemen ki mennen kay fanm lan. 9 Le sa a solèy te kouche, te fin fè nwa. 10 Madanm lan menm vin kontre li. Li te abiye tankou yon jennès, ak tout plan l' dèyè tèt li. 11 Fanm lan te gen je chèch, li pa t' wont anyen. Li pa t' kapab rete chita lakay li. 12 Li toupatou nan lari, sou laplas, nan tout kalfou. L'ap veye, je l' toupatou. 13 Li pase bra l' nan kou ti jennonm lan. Li bo li, li klere je l' nan je l', li di l': 14 Mwen te gen pou m' ofri yon bèt pou yo touye pou di Bondye mèsi. Se jòdi a mwen kit ak angajman mwen an. 15 Se poutèt sa, mwen vin kontre ou. Mwen t'ap chache ou, mwen jwenn ou. 16 Mwen ranje kabann mwen ak bon jan dra. Mwen mete bèl dra koulè ki soti peyi Lejip sou kabann mwen. 17 Mwen fè kabann mwen santi bon. Mwen vide odè flè jasmen, womaren ak kannèl sou li. 18 Vini non! Ann al damou jouk li jou. Annou pran plezi nou. Ann fè doudous jouk nou sou. 19 Mari m' pa la, li pati, li al fè yon vwayaj byen lwen. 20 Li pati ak anpil lajan nan pòch li. Li p'ap tounen anvan kenz jou. 21 Se konsa, fanm lan fin pran tèt ti jennonm lan. Ak bèl pawòl dous li yo, li fè l' asepte. 22 Jennonm lan pran swiv li, tankou bèf y'ap mennen labatwa, tankou kabrit yo pran nan pèlen 23 k'ap tann yo vin koupe tèt li, tankou zwazo k'ap mache sou pèlen san li pa konnen lavi l' an danje. 24 Koulye a, pitit mwen yo, koute byen. Louvri zòrèy nou, tande sa m'ap di nou. 25 Pa kite kè nou bat pou fanm konsa. Pa kite li fè nou pèdi chemen nou. 26 Li lakòz anpil gason tonbe mouri. Li lakòz anpil vanyan gason pèdi lavi yo. 27 Depi ou mete pye lakay li, ou sou chemen lanmò. W'ap desann yon pant k'ap mennen ou tou dwat nan simityè.
Hungarian(i) 20 Õrizd meg, fiam, atyád parancsolatját, és anyád tanítását el ne hagyd. 21 Kösd azokat szívedre mindenkor, fûzd a nyakadba. 22 Valahová mégysz, vezérel téged, mikor aluszol, õriz téged, mikor felserkensz, beszélget te veled. 23 Mert szövétnek a parancsolat, és a tudomány világosság, és életnek úta a tanító-feddések. 24 Hogy a gonosz asszonytól téged megõrizzenek, az idegen asszony nyelvének hizelkedésétõl. 25 Ne kivánd az õ szépségét szivedben, és meg ne fogjon téged szemöldökeivel; 26 Mert a parázna asszony miatt [jut az ember] egy darab kenyérre, és [más] férfi felesége drága életet vadász! 27 Vehet-é valaki tüzet az õ kebelébe, hogy ruhái meg ne égnének? 28 Vagy járhat-é valaki elevenszénen, hogy lábai meg ne égnének? 29 Így van, valaki bemegy felebarátjának feleségéhez, nem marad büntetlen, valaki illeti azt! 30 Nem útálják meg a lopót, ha lop az õ kivánságának betöltésére, mikor éhezik; 31 És ha rajta kapatik, hétannyit kell adnia, az õ házának minden marháját érette adhatja; 32 A ki pedig asszonynyal paráználkodik, bolond; a ki magát el akarja veszteni, az cselekszi ezt! 33 Vereséget és gyalázatot nyer, és az õ gyalázatja el nem töröltetik. 34 Mert a féltékenység a férfiú haragja, és nem cselekszik kegyelmességgel a bosszúállásnak napján. 35 Nem gondol semmi váltsággal, nem nyugszik meg rajta, még ha nagy sok ajándékot adsz is néki. 7 1 Fiam, tartsd meg az én beszédeimet, és az én parancsolataimat rejtsd el magadnál. 2 Az én parancsolatimat tartsd meg, és élsz; és az én tanításomat mint a szemed fényét. 3 Kösd azokat ujjaidra, írd fel azokat szíved táblájára. 4 Mondd ezt a bölcseségnek: Én néném vagy te; és az eszességet ismerõsödnek nevezd, 5 Hogy megõrizzen téged a nem hozzád tartozó asszonytól, és az õ beszédivel hizelkedõ idegentõl. 6 Mert házam ablakán, a rács mögül néztem, 7 És láték a bolondok között, eszembe vevék a fiak között egy bolond ifjat, 8 A ki az utczán jár, annak szeglete mellett, a házához menõ úton lépeget, 9 Alkonyatkor, nap estjén, és setét éjfélben. 10 És ímé, egy asszony eleibe jõ, paráznának öltözetében, álnok az õ elméjében. 11 Mely csélcsap és vakmerõ, a kinek házában nem maradhatnak meg az õ lábai. 12 Néha az utczán, néha a tereken van, és minden szegletnél leselkedik. 13 És megragadá õt és megcsókolá õt, és szemtelenségre vetemedvén, monda néki: 14 Hálaáldozattal tartoztam, ma adtam meg fogadásimat. 15 Azért jövék ki elõdbe, szorgalmatosan keresni a te orczádat, és reád találtam! 16 Paplanokkal megvetettem nyoszolyámat, égyiptomi szövésû szõnyegekkel. 17 Beillatoztam ágyamat mirhával, áloessel és fahéjjal. 18 No foglaljuk magunkat bõségesen mind virradtig a szeretetben; vígadjunk szerelmeskedésekkel. 19 Mert nincs otthon a férjem, elment messze útra. 20 Egy erszény pénzt võn kezéhez; holdtöltére jõ haza. 21 [És] elhiteté õt az õ mesterkedéseinek sokaságával, ajkainak hizelkedésével elragadá õt. 22 Utána megy; mint az ökör a vágóhídra, és mint a bolond, egyszer csak fenyítõ békóba; 23 Mígnem átjárja a nyíl az õ máját. Miképen siet a madár a tõrre, és nem tudja, hogy az az õ élete ellen van. 24 Annakokáért most, fiaim, hallgassatok engem, és figyelmezzetek az én számnak beszédeire. 25 Ne hajoljon annak útaira a te elméd, és ne tévelyegj annak ösvényin. 26 Mert sok sebesültet elejtett, és sokan vannak, a kik attól megölettek. 27 Sírba vívõ út az õ háza, a mely levisz a halálnak hajlékába.
Indonesian(i) 20 Anakku, lakukanlah apa yang diperintahkan ayahmu, dan jangan lupa akan nasihat-nasihat ibumu. 21 Ingatlah selalu kata-kata mereka dan simpanlah itu di dalam hatimu. 22 Ajaran-ajaran mereka akan membimbing engkau dalam perjalanan, menjaga engkau pada waktu malam, dan memberi petunjuk kepadamu pada waktu engkau bangun. 23 Petunjuk-petunjuk orang tuamu bagaikan lampu yang terang; teguran mereka menunjukkan kepadamu cara hidup yang baik. 24 Dengan demikian engkau dijauhkan dari perempuan-perempuan nakal, dan dari rayuan-rayuan berbisa istri orang lain. 25 Janganlah engkau tergoda oleh kecantikan mereka, jangan terpikat oleh mata mereka yang merayu. 26 Pelacur dapat disewa seharga makanan sepiring, tetapi berzinah dengan istri orang lain harus dibayar dengan nyawa. 27 Dapatkah orang memangku api tanpa terbakar bajunya? 28 Dapatkah orang menginjak bara api tanpa terbakar kakinya? 29 Itu sama bahayanya dengan menggauli istri orang lain. Siapa melakukannya tak akan luput dari hukuman. 30 Kalau orang mencuri makanan, sekalipun karena lapar, ia akan dihina. 31 Dan jika ia tertangkap ia harus membayar kembali tujuh kali lipat; untuk itu ia harus kehilangan semua harta miliknya. 32 Tetapi bagaimanakah dengan orang laki-laki yang berzinah? Ia merusak dirinya sendiri! Bodoh sekali dia! 33 Ia akan disiksa dan dicemooh. Namanya akan menjadi cemar untuk selama-lamanya. 34 Sebab, dengan perbuatannya itu suami wanita itu menjadi cemburu, sehingga kemarahannya meluap-luap. Dan apabila ia membalas dendam, ia tak akan mempunyai belas kasihan. 35 Ia tak bisa dibujuk dengan uang; hadiah sebanyak apa pun tak bisa meredakan kemarahannya. 7 1 Ingatlah perkataan-perkataanku, anakku, dan jangan lupa akan apa yang kuperintahkan kepadamu. 2 Turutilah nasihat-nasihatku supaya engkau hidup bahagia. Ikutilah ajaran-ajaranku baik-baik seperti engkau menjaga biji matamu sendiri. 3 Ingatlah selalu akan ajaran-ajaranku itu, dan simpanlah di dalam hati sanubarimu. 4 Anggaplah hikmat sebagai saudaramu dan pengetahuan sebagai sahabat karibmu. 5 Hikmat akan menjauhkan engkau dari perempuan nakal, dari wanita yang memikat dengan kata-kata yang manis. 6 Suatu hari aku memandang dari jendela rumahku. 7 Lalu kulihat banyak pemuda yang masih hijau; tetapi khusus kuperhatikan seorang yang bodoh di antaranya. 8 Pada petang hari ketika sudah mulai gelap, pemuda itu berjalan-jalan dekat tikungan di jalan yang menuju tempat tinggal seorang wanita. 9 (7:8) 10 Wanita itu wanita yang tidak betah tinggal di rumahnya. Sebentar-sebentar ia berada di tepi jalan, kemudian di lapangan, atau berdiri menunggu di persimpangan. Tingkah lakunya berani dan tidak kenal malu. Kulihat ia keluar dengan berpakaian seperti pelacur, dan menemui pemuda itu dengan rencana yang licik. 11 (7:10) 12 (7:10) 13 Ia merangkul pemuda itu dan menciumnya. Tanpa malu-malu berkatalah ia, 14 "Hari ini aku harus membayar kaulku, dan untuk itu aku sudah mempersembahkan kurban. 15 Itu sebabnya aku keluar untuk mencari engkau, supaya engkau makan di rumahku. Sekarang aku menemukan engkau! 16 Tempat tidurku telah kututupi dengan seperei beraneka warna dari Mesir, 17 dan sudah kuharumkan dengan wangi-wangian mur, cendana dan kayu manis. 18 Sekarang, mari kita bercumbu-cumbuan dan menikmati asmara sepanjang malam. 19 Suamiku tidak ada di rumah, ia sedang mengadakan perjalanan jauh. 20 Ia membawa banyak uang, dan tak akan pulang dalam dua minggu." 21 Demikianlah wanita itu merayu pemuda itu dengan bujukan-bujukan yang memikat sehingga tergodalah ia. 22 Tanpa pikir ia mengikuti wanita itu seperti sapi digiring ke pejagalan dan seperti orang tahanan yang dibawa untuk menerima hukuman yang disediakan bagi orang bodoh; 23 sebentar lagi anak panah akan menembus hatinya. Seperti burung yang terbang menuju jerat, demikianlah pemuda itu tidak menyadari bahwa nyawanya terancam. 24 Sebab itu, anak-anak, dengarkanlah aku. Perhatikanlah nasihat-nasihatku. 25 Jangan biarkan wanita seperti itu memikat hatimu; jangan pergi mencari dia, 26 sebab ia sudah menghancurkan kehidupan banyak laki-laki. Tidak terhitung banyaknya yang binasa karena dia. 27 Pergi ke rumahnya berarti mengambil jalan pendek ke arah kematian.
Italian(i) 20 FIGLIUOL mio, guarda il comandamento di tuo padre, E non lasciar l’insegnamento di tua madre; 21 Tienli del continuo legati in sul tuo cuore, Ed avvinti in su la tua gola. 22 Quando tu camminerai, quello ti guiderà; Quando tu giacerai, farà la guardia intorno a te; E quando tu ti risveglierai, ragionerà teco; 23 Perciocchè il comandamento è una lampana, E l’insegnamento è una luce, E le correzioni di disciplina son la via della vita; 24 Per guardarti dalla femmina malvagia, Dalle lusinghe della lingua della straniera. 25 Non invaghirti nel tuo cuore della sua bellezza; E non prendati ella con le sue palpebre. 26 Perciocchè per una donna meretrice si viene fino ad un pezzo di pane; E la donna vaga d’uomini va a caccia dietro alle anime preziose. 27 Alcuno prenderà egli del fuoco in seno, Senza che i suoi vestimenti ne sieno arsi? 28 Alcuno camminerà egli sopra le brace, Senza bruciarsi i piedi? 29 Così avviene a chi entra dalla moglie del suo prossimo; Chiunque la tocca non sarà innocente. 30 Ei non si scusa il ladro, quando egli ruba Per saziarsi, avendo fame; 31 Anzi, se è colto, restituisce il furto a sette doppi, Egli dà tutta la sostanza di casa sua. 32 Chi commette adulterio con una donna è scemo di senno; Chi vuol perder l’anima sua faccia tal cosa. 33 Egli troverà ferite ed ignominia; E il suo vituperio non sarà giammai cancellato. 34 Perciocchè la gelosia è un furor dell’uomo; Ed egli non risparmierà nel giorno della vendetta. 35 Egli non avrà riguardo ad alcun riscatto; Ed avvegnachè tu moltiplichi i presenti, non però li accetterà. 7 1 Figliuol mio, guarda i miei detti, E riponi appo te i miei comandamenti. 2 Guarda i miei comandamenti, e tu viverai; E guarda il mio insegnamento, come la pupilla degli occhi tuoi. 3 Legateli alle dita, Scrivili in su la tavola del tuo cuore. 4 Di’ alla sapienza: Tu sei mia sorella; E chiama la prudenza tua parente; 5 Acciocchè esse ti guardino dalla donna straniera, Dalla forestiera che parla vezzosamente. 6 Perciocchè io riguardava una volta per la finestra della mia casa, Per li miei cancelli; 7 E vidi tra gli scempi, E scorsi tra i fanciulli, un giovanetto scemo di senno; 8 Il qual passava per la strada, presso al cantone della casa d’una tal donna; E camminava traendo alla casa di essa; 9 In su la sera, in sul vespro del dì. In su l’imbrunire ed oscurar della notte; 10 Ed ecco, una donna gli venne incontro, In assetto da meretrice, e cauta d’animo; 11 Strepitosa, e sviata; I cui piedi non si fermavano in casa; 12 Essendo ora fuori, or per le piazze; E stando agli agguati presso ad ogni cantone. 13 Ed essa lo prese, e lo baciò, E sfacciatamente gli disse: 14 Io avea sopra me il voto di sacrificii da render grazie; Oggi ho pagati i miei voti. 15 Però ti sono uscita incontro, Per cercarti, e ti ho trovato. 16 Io ho acconcio il mio letto con capoletti Di lavoro figurato a cordicelle di fil di Egitto. 17 Io ho profumato il mio letto Con mirra, con aloe, e con cinnamomo. 18 Vieni, inebbriamoci d’amori infino alla mattina, Sollaziamoci in amorosi piaceri. 19 Perciocchè il marito non è in casa sua; Egli è andato in viaggio lontano; 20 Egli ha preso in mano un sacchetto di danari; Egli ritornerà a casa sua a nuova luna. 21 Ella lo piegò con le molte sue lusinghe, E lo sospinse con la dolcezza delle sue labbra. 22 Ed egli andò dietro a lei subitamente, Come il bue viene al macello, E come i ceppi son per gastigamento dello stolto; 23 Come l’uccello si affretta al laccio, Senza sapere che è contro alla vita sua, Finchè la saetta gli trafigga il fegato. 24 Ora dunque, figliuoli, ascoltatemi, Ed attendete a’ detti della mia bocca. 25 Il cuor tuo non dichini alle vie d’una tal donna; Non isviarti ne’ suoi sentieri. 26 Perciocchè ella ne ha fatti cader molti uccisi; E pur tutti coloro ch’ella ha morti eran possenti. 27 La sua casa è la via dell’inferno, Che scende a’ più interni luoghi della morte.
ItalianRiveduta(i) 20 Figliuol mio, osserva i precetti di tuo padre, e non trascurare gl’insegnamenti di tua madre; 21 tienteli del continuo legati sul cuore e attaccati al collo. 22 Quando camminerai, ti guideranno; quando giacerai, veglieranno su te; quando ti risveglierai, ragioneranno teco. 23 Poiché il precetto è una lampada e l’insegnamento una luce, e le correzioni della disciplina son la via della vita, 24 per guardarti dalla donna malvagia dalle parole lusinghevoli della straniera. 25 Non bramare in cuor tuo la sua bellezza, e non ti lasciar prendere dalle sue palpebre; 26 ché per una donna corrotta uno si riduce a un pezzo di pane, e la donna adultera sta in agguato contro un’anima preziosa. 27 Uno si metterà forse del fuoco in seno senza che i suoi abiti si brucino? 28 camminerà forse sui carboni accesi senza scottarsi i piedi? 29 Così è di chi va dalla moglie del prossimo; chi la tocca non rimarrà impunito. 30 Non si disprezza il ladro che ruba per saziarsi quand’ha fame; 31 se è còlto, restituirà anche il settuplo, darà tutti i beni della sua casa. 32 Ma chi commette un adulterio è privo di senno; chi fa questo vuol rovinar se stesso. 33 Troverà ferite ed ignominia, e l’obbrobrio suo non sarà mai cancellato; 34 ché la gelosia rende furioso il marito, il quale sarà senza pietà nel dì della vendetta; 35 non avrà riguardo a riscatto di sorta, e anche se tu moltiplichi i regali, non sarà soddisfatto. 7 1 Figliuol mio, ritieni le mie parole, e fa’ tesoro de’ miei comandamenti. 2 Osserva i miei comandamenti e vivrai; custodisci il mio insegnamento come la pupilla degli occhi. 3 Legateli alle dita, scrivili sulla tavola del tuo cuore. 4 Di’ alla sapienza: "Tu sei mia sorella", e chiama l’intelligenza amica tua, 5 affinché ti preservino dalla donna altrui, dall’estranea che usa parole melate. 6 Ero alla finestra della mia casa, e dietro alla mia persiana stavo guardando, 7 quando vidi, tra gli sciocchi, scorsi, tra i giovani, un ragazzo privo di senno, 8 che passava per la strada, presso all’angolo dov’essa abitava, e si dirigeva verso la casa di lei, 9 al crepuscolo, sul declinar del giorno, allorché la notte si faceva nera, oscura. 10 Ed ecco farglisi incontro una donna in abito da meretrice e astuta di cuore, 11 turbolenta e proterva, che non teneva piede in casa: 12 ora in istrada, ora per le piazze, e in agguato presso ogni canto. 13 Essa lo prese, lo baciò, e sfacciatamente gli disse: 14 "Dovevo fare un sacrifizio di azioni di grazie; oggi ho sciolto i miei voti; 15 perciò ti son venuta incontro per cercarti, e t’ho trovato. 16 Ho guarnito il mio letto di morbidi tappeti, di coperte ricamate con filo d’Egitto; 17 l’ho profumato di mirra, d’aloe e di cinnamomo. 18 Vieni inebriamoci d’amore fino al mattino, sollazziamoci in amorosi piaceri; 19 giacché il mio marito non è a casa; è andato in viaggio lontano; 20 ha preso seco un sacchetto di danaro, non tornerà a casa che al plenilunio". 21 Ella lo sedusse con le sue molte lusinghe, lo trascinò con la dolcezza delle sue labbra. 22 Egli le andò dietro subito, come un bove va al macello, come uno stolto è menato ai ceppi che lo castigheranno, 23 come un uccello s’affretta al laccio, senza sapere ch’è teso contro la sua vita, finché una freccia gli trapassi il fegato. 24 Or dunque, figliuoli, ascoltatemi, e state attenti alle parole della mia bocca. 25 Il tuo cuore non si lasci trascinare nelle vie d’una tal donna; non ti sviare per i suoi sentieri; 26 ché molti ne ha fatti cadere feriti a morte, e grande è la moltitudine di quelli che ha uccisi. 27 La sua casa è la via del soggiorno de’ defunti, la strada che scende ai penetrali della morte.

Lithuanian(i) 20 Mano sūnau, laikykis savo tėvo įsakymų ir nepaniekink motinos įstatymo. 21 Visam laikui užrišk juos ant savo širdies, apsivyniok aplink kaklą. 22 Tau einant, jie lydės tave, tau atsigulus, jie saugos tave, tau pabudus, jie kalbės su tavimi. 23 Įsakymas yra žiburys, įstatymas­šviesa, o pamokantis pabarimas­gyvenimo kelias. 24 Jie saugos tave nuo nedoros moters, nuo svetimos moters meilikaujančios kalbos. 25 Negeisk jos grožio savo širdyje, tenesuvilioja tavęs jos blakstienos. 26 Dėl paleistuvės vyras lieka tik su duonos kąsniu, neištikimoji medžioja jo brangią gyvybę. 27 Ar gali žmogus paimti ugnį į savo antį ir nesudeginti drabužių? 28 Ar gali kas, vaikščiodamas ant žarijų, nenusideginti kojų? 29 Taip ir tas, kas įeina pas artimo žmoną; kas paliečia ją, neliks nekaltas. 30 Vagis ne taip niekinamas, jei jis vagia būdamas alkanas ir norėdamas pasisotinti. 31 Tačiau pagautas jis atlygins septyneriopai ir atiduos visą savo namų turtą. 32 Svetimoteriaujančiam trūksta proto, jis pats save pražudo. 33 Žaizdų ir nešlovės jis susilauks, jo gėda nebus išdildyta; 34 nes pavydas sužadins vyro įniršį, jis nepasigailės keršto dieną. 35 Jis nepriims jokios išpirkos ir nenusiramins, nors duotum jam daugybę dovanų. 7 1 Mano sūnau, saugok mano žodžius ir neužmiršk mano įsakymų. 2 Saugok mano įsakymus ir būsi gyvas, sergėk mano įstatymą kaip savo akies vyzdį. 3 Užsirišk juos ant savo pirštų ir įsirašyk savo širdies plokštėje. 4 Išmintį vadink savo seserimi, o supratimą­artimiausiu savo draugu, 5 kad jie apsaugotų tave nuo svetimos moters, meilikaujančios savo žodžiais. 6 Kartą, žiūrėdamas pro savo namų lango groteles, 7 mačiau tarp jaunų, nepatyrusių žmonių neprotingą jaunuolį. 8 Jis ėjo gatve pro jos kampą ir pasuko į jos namus. 9 Vakaro prieblandoje, juodą ir tamsią naktį, 10 jį pasitiko moteris su paleistuvės apdaru ir klastinga širdimi. 11 Begėdė ir nerimstanti, negalinti išsėdėti savo namuose; 12 tai gatvėje, tai aikštėje, tai ant kampo ji tykojo aukos. 13 Pasigavusį jį, bučiavo ir akiplėšiškai kalbėjo: 14 “Aš turiu padėkos auką ir šiandien įvykdžiau savo įžadus. 15 Todėl išėjau tavęs pasitikti, ieškojau tavo veido ir štai suradau tave. 16 Aš apklojau savo lovą margais egiptietiškais lininiais užtiesalais, 17 iškvėpinau mira, alaviju ir cinamonu. 18 Eikš, sotinsimės meile iki ryto, mėgausimės glamonėmis; 19 nes vyro nėra namuose, jis išvyko į tolimą kelionę. 20 Jis pasiėmė maišelį pinigų ir grįš pilnaties dieną”. 21 Daugybe švelnių žodžių ji prisiviliojo jį, meilikaujančia kalba suvedžiojo. 22 Jis seka ją kaip jautis, vedamas pjauti, kaip kvailys, einantis į supančiojimo vietą, 23 kol strėlė pervers jo kepenis; kaip paukštis, kuris lekia į spąstus ir nesupranta, kad praras savo gyvybę. 24 Mano vaikai, klausykite manęs, būkite dėmesingi mano žodžiams. 25 Tegul tavo širdis nepalinksta į jos kelius, nenuklysk jos takais. 26 Nes ji parbloškė daug sužeistųjų, daug stipriųjų jinai nužudė. 27 Jos namai yra kelias į pragarą, vedantis į mirties buveinę.
PBG(i) 20 Strzeżże, synu mój! przykazania ojca twego, a nie opuszczaj nauki matki twojej. 21 Wiążże je zawżdy u serca twego, a wieszaj je u szyi twojej. 22 Gdziekolwiek pójdziesz, poprowadzi cię; gdy, zaśniesz strzedz cię będzie, a gdy się ocucisz, rozmawiać z tobą będzie, 23 (Bo przykazanie jest pochodnią, nauka światłością, a drogą żywota są karności ćwiczenia.) 24 Aby cię strzegły od niewiasty złej, i od łagodnego języka niewiasty obcej. 25 Nie pożądaj piękności jej w sercu twojem, a niech cię nie łowi powiekami swemi. 26 Albowiem dla niewiasty wszetecznej zubożeje człowiek aż do kęsa chleba; owszem żona cudzołożna drogą duszę łowi. 27 Izaż może kto brać ogień do zanadrzy swoich, aby szaty jego nie zgorzały? 28 Izaż może kto chodzić po rozpalonym węglu, aby się nogi jego nie poparzyły? 29 Tak kto wchodzi do żony bliźniego swego, nie będzie bez winy, ktokolwiek się jej dotknie. 30 Nie kładą hańby na złodzieja, jeżliż co ukradnie, chcąc nasycić duszę swoję, będąc głodnym; 31 Ale gdy go zastaną, nagradza siedmiorako, albo wszystkę majętność domu swego daje. 32 Lecz cudzołożący z niewiastą głupi jest, a kto chce zatracić duszę swoję, ten to czyni. 33 Karanie i zelżywość odniesie, a hańba jego nie będzie zgładzona. 34 Bo zawisna miłość jest zapalczywością męża, a nie sfolguje w dzień pomsty. 35 Nie będzie miał względu na żaden okup, ani przyjmie, chociażby mu najwięcej darów dawano. 7 1 Synu mój! strzeż słów moich, a przykazanie moje chowaj u siebie. 2 Strzeż przykazań moich, a żyć będziesz; a nauki mojej, jako źrenicy oczów swych. 3 Uwiąż je na palcach twoich,napisz je na tablicy serca twego. 4 Mów mądrości: Siostraś ty moja, a roztropność przyjaciółką nazywaj, 5 Aby cię strzegły od żony cudzej, i od obcej, która mówi łagodne słowa. 6 Bom oknem domu swego przez kratę moję wyglądał; 7 I widziałem między prostakami, obaczyłem między synami młodzieńca głupiego, 8 Który szedł ulicą przy rogu jej, drogą postępując ku domowi jej. 9 Ze zmierzkiem pod wieczór, w ciemności nocnej, i w mroku. 10 A oto niewiasta spotkała go, w ubiorze wszetecznicy, chytrego serca, 11 Świegotliwa i nie ukrócona, a w domu własnym nie mogły się ostać nogi jej; 12 Raz na dworzu, raz na ulicach i po wszystkich kątach zasadzki czyniąca; 13 I uchwyciła go, i pocałowała go, a złożywszy wstyd z twarzy swojej, rzekła mu: 14 Ofiary spokojne są u mnie; dzisiajm oddała śluby moje. 15 Przetożem wyszła przeciw tobie, abym pilnie szukała twarzy twojej, i znalazłam cię. 16 Obiłam kobiercami łoże moje, ozdobione rzezaniem i prześcieradłami egipskiemi. 17 Potrząsnęłam pokój swój myrrą, aloesem, i cynamonem. 18 Pójdźże, opójmy się miłością aż do poranku, ucieszmy się miłością. 19 Boć męża mego w domu niemasz; pojechał w drogę daleką. 20 Worek pieniędzy wziął z sobą; dnia pewnego wróci się do domu swego. 21 I nakłoniła go wielą słów swoich, a łagodnością warg swoich zniewoliła go. 22 Wnet poszedł za nią, jako wół, gdy go na rzeź wiodą, a jako głupi do pęta, którem karany bywa. 23 I przebiła strzałą wątrobę jego; kwapił się jako ptak do sidła, nie wiedząc, iż je zgotowano na duszę jego. 24 Przetoż teraz, synowie! słuchajcie mię, a bądźcie pilni powieści ust moich. 25 Niechaj się nie uchyla za drogami jej serce twoje, ani się tułaj po ścieszkach jej. 26 Albowiem wielu zraniwszy poraziła, i mocarze wszyscy pozabijani są od niej. 27 Dom jej jest jako drogi piekielne, wiodące do gmachów śmierci.
Portuguese(i) 20 Filho meu, guarda o mandamento de, teu pai, e não abandones a instrução de tua mãe; 21 ata-os perpetuamente ao teu coração, e pendura-os ao teu pescoço. 22 Quando caminhares, isso te guiará; quando te deitares, te guardará; quando acordares, falará contigo. 23 Porque o mandamento é uma lâmpada, e a instrução uma luz; e as repreensões da disciplina são o caminho da vida, 24 para te guardarem da mulher má, e das lisonjas da língua da adúltera. 25 Não cobices no teu coração a sua formosura, nem te deixes prender pelos seus olhares. 26 Porque o preço da prostituta é apenas um bocado de pão, mas a adúltera anda à caça da própria vida do homem. 27 Pode alguém tomar fogo no seu seio, sem que os seus vestidos se queimem? 28 Ou andará sobre as brasas sem que se queimem os seus pés? 29 Assim será o que entrar à mulher do seu próximo; não ficará inocente quem a tocar. 30 Não é desprezado o ladrão, mesmo quando furta para saciar a fome? 31 E, se for apanhado, pagará sete vezes tanto, dando até todos os bens de sua casa. 32 O que adultera com uma mulher é falto de entendimento; destrói-se a si mesmo, quem assim procede. 33 Receberá feridas e ignomínia, e o seu opróbrio nunca se apagará; 34 porque o ciúme enfurece ao marido, que de maneira nenhuma poupará no dia da vingança. 35 Não aceitará resgate algum, nem se aplacará, ainda que multipliques os presentes. 7 1 Filho meu, guarda as minhas palavras, e entesoura contigo os meus mandamentos. 2 Observa os meus mandamentos e vive; guarda a minha lei, como a menina dos teus olhos. 3 Ata-os aos teus dedos, escreve-os na tábua do teu coração. 4 Diz à sabedoria: Tu és minha irmã; e chama ao entendimento teu amigo íntimo, 5 para te guardarem da mulher alheia, da adúltera, que lisonjeia com as suas palavras. 6 Porque da janela da minha casa, por minhas grades olhando eu, 7 vi entre os simples, divisei entre os jovens, um mancebo falto de juízo, 8 que passava pela rua junto à esquina da mulher adúltera e que seguia o caminho da sua casa, 9 no crepúsculo, à tarde do dia, à noite fechada e na escuridão; 10 e eis que uma mulher lhe saiu ao encontro, ornada à moda das prostitutas, e astuta de coração. 11 Ela é turbulenta e obstinada; não param em casa os seus pés; 12 ora está ela pelas ruas, ora pelas praças, espreitando por todos os cantos. 13 Pegou dele, pois, e o beijou; e com semblante impudico lhe disse: 14 Sacrifícios pacíficos tenho comigo; hoje paguei os meus votos. 15 Por isso saí ao teu encontro a buscar-te diligentemente, e te achei. 16 Já cobri a minha cama de cobertas, de colchas de linho do Egipto. 17 Já perfumei o meu leito com mirra, aloés e cinamomo. 18 Vem, saciemo-nos de amores até pela manhã; alegremo-nos com amores. 19 Porque meu marido não está em casa; foi fazer uma jornada ao longe; 20 um saquitel de dinheiro levou na mão; só lá para o dia da lua cheia voltará para casa. 21 Ela o faz ceder com a multidão das suas palavras sedutoras, com as lisonjas dos seus lábios o arrasta. 22 Ele a segue logo, como boi que vai ao matadouro, e como o louco ao castigo das prisões; 23 até que uma flecha lhe atravesse o fígado, como a ave que se apressa para o laço, sem saber que está armado contra a sua vida. 24 Agora, pois, filhos, ouvi-me, e estai atentos às palavras da minha boca. 25 Não se desvie para os seus caminhos o teu coração, e não andes perdido nas suas veredas. 26 Porque ela a muitos tem feito cair feridos; e são muitíssimos os que por ela foram mortos. 27 Caminho de Seol é a sua casa, o qual desce às câmaras da morte.
Romanian(i) 20 Fiule, păzeşte sfaturile tatălui tău, şi nu lepăda învăţătura mamei tale: 21 leagă-le necurmat la inimă, atîrnă-le de gît. 22 Ele te vor însoţi în mersul tău, te vor păzi în pat, şi îţi vor vorbi la deşteptare! 23 Căci sfatul este o candelă, învăţătura este o lumină, iar îndemnul şi mustrarea sînt calea vieţii. 24 Ele te vor feri de femeia stricată, de limba ademenitoare a celei străine. 25 N'o pofti în inima ta pentru frumuseţa ei, şi nu te lăsa ademenit de pleoapele ei. 26 Căci pentru o femeie curvă, omul ajunge de nu mai rămîne decît cu o bucată de pîne, şi femeia măritată întinde... o cursă unui suflet scump. 27 Poate cineva să ia foc în sîn, fără să i se aprindă hainele? 28 Sau poate merge cineva pe cărbuni aprinşi, fără să -i ardă picioarele? 29 Tot aşa este şi cu cel ce se duce la nevasta aproapelui său: ori cine se atinge de ea nu va rămînea nepedepsit. 30 Hoţul nu este urgisit cînd fură ca să-şi potolească foamea, căci îi este foame; 31 Şi dacă este prins, trebuie să dea înapoi înşeptit, să dea chiar tot ce are în casă. 32 Dar cel ce preacurveşte cu o femeie este un om fără minte, singur îşi pierde viaţa cine face aşa. 33 Nu va avea decît rană şi ruşine, şi ocara nu i se va şterge. 34 Căci gelozia înfurie pe un bărbat, şi n'are milă în ziua răzbunării; 35 nu se uită la niciun preţ de răscumpărare, şi nu se lasă înduplecat nici chiar de cel mai mare dar. 7 1 Fiule, păstrează cuvintele mele, şi ţine la tine sfaturile mele. 2 Ţine sfaturile mele, şi vei trăi; păzeşte învăţăturile mele ca lumina ochilor. 3 Leagă-le la degete, scrie-le pe tăbliţa inimii tale. 4 Zi înţelepciunii:,,Tu eşti sora mea!`` Şi numeşte priceperea prietena ta, - 5 ca să te ferească de nevasta altuia, de străina care întrebuinţează cuvinte ademenitoare. 6 Stăteam la fereastra casei mele, şi mă uitam prin zăbrele. 7 Am zărit printre cei neîncercaţi, am văzut printre tineri pe un băiat fără minte. 8 Trecea pe uliţă, la colţul unde stătea una din aceste străine, şi a apucat pe calea care ducea spre locuinţa ei. 9 Era în amurg, seara, în noaptea neagră şi întunecoasă. 10 Şi, iată că, i -a alergat înainte o femeie îmbrăcată ca o curvă şi cu inima şireată. 11 Era bună de gură şi fără astîmpăr; picioarele nu -i puteau sta acasă: 12 cînd în uliţă, cînd în pieţe, pela toate colţurile stătea la pîndă. 13 Ea l -a îmbrăţişat şi l -a sărutat, şi cu o faţă fără ruşine i -a zis: 14 ,,Eram datoare cu o jertfă de mulţămire, azi mi-am împlinit juruinţele. 15 De aceea ţi-am ieşit înainte, să te caut, şi te-am şi găsit. 16 Mi-am împodobit patul cu învelitori, cu aşternut de pînzeturi din Egipt; 17 mi-am stropit aşternutul cu smirnă, aloe şi scorţişoară. 18 Vino, să ne îmbătăm de dragoste pînă dimineaţă, să ne desfătăm cu desmierdări! 19 Căci bărbatul meu nu este acasă, a plecat într'o călătorie lungă, 20 a luat cu el sacul cu bani, şi nu se va întoarce acasă decît la luna nouă.`` 21 Tot vorbindu -i, ea l -a ademenit, şi l -a atras cu buzele ei ademenitoare. 22 De odată a început să meargă după ea, ca boul care se duce la măcelărie, ca un cerb care aleargă spre cursă, 23 ca pasărea care dă buzna în laţ, fără să ştie că o va costa viaţa, pînă ce săgeata îi străpunge ficatul. 24 Şi acum, fiilor, ascultaţi-mă, şi luaţi aminte la cuvintele gurii mele. 25 Să nu ţi se abată inima spre calea unei asemenea femei, nu te rătăci pe cărările ei. 26 Căci ea a făcut să cadă multe jertfe, şi mulţi sînt cei pe cari i -a ucis ea. 27 Casa ei este drumul spre locuinţa morţilor, drumul care pogoară spre locaşurile morţii.
Ukrainian(i) 20 Стережи, сину мій, заповідь батька свого, і не відкидай науки матері своєї! 21 Прив'яжи їх на серці своєму назавжди, повісь їх на шиї своїй! 22 Вона буде провадити тебе у ході, стерегтиме тебе, коли будеш лежати, а пробудишся мовити буде до тебе! 23 Бо заповідь Божа світильник, а наука то світло, дорога ж життя то навчальні картання, 24 щоб тебе стерегти від злосливої жінки, від облесливого язика чужинки. 25 Не жадай її вроди у серці своїм, і тебе хай не візьме своїми повіками, 26 бо вартість розпусної жінки то боханець хліба, а жінка заміжня вловлює душу цінну... 27 Чи візьме людина огонь на лоно своє, і одіж її не згорить? 28 Чи буде людина ходити по вугіллю розпаленому, і не попаляться ноги її? 29 Так і той, хто вчащає до жінки свого ближнього: не буде некараним кожен, хто доторкнеться до неї! 30 Не погорджують злодієм, якщо він украде, щоб рятувати життя своє, коли він голодує, 31 та як буде він знайдений, всемеро він відшкодує, віддасть все майно свого дому! 32 Хто чинить перелюб, не має той розуму, він знищує душу свою, 33 побої та сором він знайде, а ганьба його не зітреться, 34 бо заздрощі лютість мужчини, і не змилосердиться він у день помсти: 35 він не зверне уваги на жоден твій викуп, і не схоче, коли ти гостинця прибільшиш!7 1 Сину мій, бережи ти слова мої, мої ж заповіді заховай при собі, 2 бережи мої заповіді та й живи, а наука моя немов в очах твоїх та зіниця, 3 прив'яжи їх на пальцях своїх, напиши на таблиці тій серця свого! 4 На мудрість скажи: Ти сестра моя! а розум назви: Мій довірений! 5 щоб тебе стерегти від блудниці, від чужинки, що мовить м'якенькі слова. 6 Бо я визирав був в вікно свого дому, через ґрати мого вікна, 7 і приглядавсь до невіж, розглядався між молоддю. І юнак ось, позбавлений розуму, 8 проходив по ринку при розі його, і ступив по дорозі до дому її, 9 коли вітерець повівав був увечорі дня, у темряві ночі та мороку. 10 Аж ось жінка в убранні блудниці назустріч йому, із серцем підступним, 11 галаслива та непогамована, її ноги у домі своїм не бувають: 12 раз на вулиці, раз на майданах, і при кожному розі чатує вона... 13 І вхопила вона його міцно та й поцілувала його, безсоромним зробила обличчя своє та й сказала йому: 14 У мене тепер мирні жертви, виповнила я сьогодні обіти свої! 15 Тому то я вийшла назустріч тобі, пошукати обличчя твого, і знайшла я тебе! 16 Килимами я вистелила своє ложе, тканинами різних кольорів з єгипетського полотна, 17 постелю свою я посипала миррою, алоєм та цинамоном... 18 Ходи ж, аж до ранку впиватися будем коханням, любов'ю натішимось ми! 19 Бо вдома нема чоловіка, пішов у далеку дорогу: 20 вузлик срібла він узяв в свою руку, хіба на день повні поверне до дому свого... 21 Прихилила його велемовством своїм, облесливістю своїх губ його звабила, 22 він раптом за нею пішов, немов віл, до зарізу проваджений, і немов пес, що ведуть його на ланцюгу до ув'язнення, 23 як той птах, поспішає до сітки, і не знає, що це на життя його пастка... 24 А тепер, мої діти, мене ви послухайте, і на слова моїх уст уважайте: 25 Хай не збочує серце твоє на дороги її, не блукай ти стежками її, 26 бо вона багатьох уже трупами кинула, і численні всі, нею забиті! 27 Її дім до шеолу дороги, що провадять до смертних кімнат...
