THE HOLY BIBLE Authorized King James

Proverbs (Author Solomon)

2:16To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words;

7:11(She is loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house:

7:12Now is she without, now in the streets, and lieth in wait at every corner.)

7:13So she caught him, and kissed him, and with an impudent face said unto him,

7:14I have peace offerings with me; this day have I payed my vows.

7:15Therefore came I forth to meet thee, diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee.

7:16I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with carved works, with fine linen of Egypt.

7:17I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.

7:18Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning: let us solace ourselves with loves.

7:19For the goodman is not at home, he is gone a long journey:

7:20He hath taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at the day appointed.

7:21With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him.

7:22He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks;

7:23Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life.

7:24Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend to the words of my mouth.

7:25Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths.

7:26For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her.

7:27Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death.

9:13A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, and knoweth nothing.

9:14For she sitteth at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city,

9:15To call passengers who go right on their ways:

9:16Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: and as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,

9:17Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.

9:18But he knoweth not that the dead are there; and that her guests are in the depths of hell.
