Proverbs 7:18-27

¹⁸Come, let vs take our fill of loue vntill the morning: let vs take our pleasure in daliance.

¹⁹For mine husband is not at home: he is gone a iourney farre off.

²⁰He hath taken with him a bagge of siluer, and will come home at the day appointed.

²¹Thus with her great craft she caused him to yeelde, and with her flattering lips she entised him.

²²And he followed her straight wayes, as an oxe that goeth to the slaughter, and as a foole to the stockes for correction,

²³Till a dart strike through his liuer, as a bird hasteth to the snare, not knowing that he is in danger.

²⁴Heare me now therefore, O children, and hearken to the wordes of my mouth.

²⁵Let not thine heart decline to her wayes: wander thou not in her paths.

²⁶For shee hath caused many to fall downe wounded, and the strong men are all slaine by her.

²⁷Her house is the way vnto ye graue, which goeth downe to the chambers of death.
