Proverbs 7:3-14 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

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.
