Proverbs 7:6
NASB
Prov 7:6
&
For at the window of my house I looked out through my lattice,
Prov 7:7
&
And I saw among the naive, {And} discerned among the youths A young man lacking sense,
Prov 7:8
&
Passing through the street near her corner; And he takes the way to her house,
Prov 7:9
&
In the twilight, in the evening, In the middle of the night and {in} the darkness.
Prov 7:10
&
And behold, a woman {comes} to meet him, Dressed as a harlot and cunning of heart.
Prov 7:11
&
She is boisterous and rebellious, Her feet do not remain at home;
Prov 7:12
&
{She is} now in the streets, now in the squares, And lurks by every corner.
Prov 7:13
&
So she seizes him and kisses him And with a brazen face she says to him:
Prov 7:14
&
"I was due to offer peace offerings; Today I have paid my vows.
Prov 7:15
&
"Therefore I have come out to meet you, To seek your presence earnestly, and I have found you.
Prov 7:16
&
"I have spread my couch with coverings, With colored linens of Egypt.
Prov 7:17
&
"I have sprinkled my bed With myrrh, aloes and cinnamon.
Prov 7:18
&
"Come, let us drink our fill of love until morning; Let us delight ourselves with caresses.
Prov 7:19
&
"For my husband is not at home, He has gone on a long journey;
Prov 7:20
&
He has taken a bag of money with him, At the full moon he will come home."
Prov 7:21
&
With her many persuasions she entices him; With her flattering lips she seduces him.
Prov 7:22
&
Suddenly he follows her As an ox goes to the slaughter, Or as {one in} fetters to the discipline of a fool,
