Proverbs 7:3-22

³Binde them vpon thy fingers, and write them vpon the table of thine heart.

⁴Say vnto wisedome, Thou art my sister: and call vnderstanding thy kinswoman,

⁵That they may keepe thee from the strange woman, euen from the stranger that is smoothe in her wordes.

⁶As I was in the window of mine house, I looked through my windowe,

⁷And I sawe among the fooles, and considered among the children a yong man destitute of vnderstanding,

⁸Who passed through the streete by her corner, and went toward her house,

⁹In the twilight in the euening, when the night began to be blacke and darke.

¹⁰And beholde, there met him a woman with an harlots behauiour, and subtill in heart.

¹¹(She is babling and loud: whose feete can not abide in her house.

¹²Nowe she is without, nowe in the streetes, and lyeth in waite at euery corner)

¹³So she caught him and kissed him and with an impudent face said vnto him,

¹⁴I haue peace offerings: this day haue I payed my vowes.

¹⁵Therefore came I forth to meete thee, that I might seeke thy face: and I haue found thee.

¹⁶I haue deckt my bed with ornaments, carpets and laces of Egypt.

¹⁷I haue perfumed my bedde with myrrhe, aloes, and cynamom.

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,
