For at the window of my house I looked through my lattice,
Proverbs:7.7
And saw among the simple, I perceived among the youths, A young man devoid of understanding,
Proverbs:7.8
Passing along the street near her corner; And he took the path to her house
Proverbs:7.9
In the twilight, in the evening, In the black and dark night.
Proverbs:7.10
And there a woman met him, [With] the attire of a harlot, and a crafty heart.
Proverbs:7.11
She [was] loud and rebellious, Her feet would not stay at home.
Proverbs:7.12
At times [she was] outside, at times in the open square, Lurking at every corner.

So she caught him and kissed him; With an impudent face she said to him:
Proverbs:7.14
“[I have] peace offerings with me; Today I have paid my vows.
Proverbs:7.15
So I came out to meet you, Diligently to seek your face, And I have found you.
Proverbs:7.16
I have spread my bed with tapestry, Colored coverings of Egyptian linen.
Proverbs:7.17
I have perfumed my bed With myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
Proverbs:7.18
Come, let us take our fill of love until morning; Let us delight ourselves with love.
Proverbs:7.19
For my husband [is] not at home; He has gone on a long journey;
Proverbs:7.20
He has taken a bag of money with him, [And] will come home on the appointed day.”
Proverbs:7.21
With her enticing speech she caused him to yield, With her flattering lips she seduced him.
Proverbs:7.22
Immediately he went after her, as an ox goes to the slaughter, Or as a fool to the correction of the stocks,
Proverbs:7.23
Till an arrow struck his liver. As a bird hastens to the snare, He did not know it [would cost] his life.
Proverbs:7.24
Now therefore, listen to me, [my] children; Pay attention to the words of my mouth:
Proverbs:7.25
Do not let your heart turn aside to her ways, Do not stray into her paths;
Proverbs:7.26
For she has cast down many wounded, And all who were slain by her were strong [men.]
Proverbs:7.27
Her house [is] the way to hell, Descending to the chambers of death.
