Proverbs 7
Reading Proverbs chapter 7 in the Webster's Bible, public-domain text from 1833.
Verses 1–10
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.
