(English Standard Version)

切换到福音影视网-新版圣经

  • 1 My son, keep my words and treasure up my commandments with you;
  • 2 keep my commandments and live; keep my teaching as the apple of your eye;
  • 3 bind them on your fingers; write them on the tablet of your heart.
  • 4 Say to wisdom, "You are my sister," and call insight your intimate friend,
  • 5 to keep you from the forbidden woman, from the adulteress with her smooth words.
  • 6 For at the window of my house I have looked out through my lattice,
  • 7 and I have seen among the simple, I have perceived among the youths, a young man lacking sense,
  • 8 passing along the street near her corner, taking the road to her house
  • 9 in the twilight, in the evening, at the time of night and darkness.
  • 10 And behold, the woman meets him, dressed as a prostitute, wily of heart.
  • 11 She is loud and wayward; her feet do not stay at home;
  • 12 now in the street, now in the market, and at every corner she lies in wait.
  • 13 She seizes him and kisses him, and with bold face she says to him,
  • 14 "I had to offer sacrifices, and today I have paid my vows;
  • 15 so now I have come out to meet you, to seek you eagerly, and I have found you.
  • 16 I have spread my couch with coverings, colored linens from Egyptian linen;
  • 17 I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
  • 18 Come, let us take our fill of love till morning; let us delight ourselves with love.
  • 19 For my husband is not at home; he has gone on a long journey;
  • 20 he took a bag of money with him; at full moon he will come home."
  • 21 With much seductive speech she persuades him; with her smooth talk she compels him.
  • 22 All at once he follows her, as an ox goes to the slaughter, or as a stag is caught fast
  • 23 till an arrow pierces its liver; as a bird rushes into a snare; he does not know that it will cost him his life.
  • 24 And now, O sons, listen to me, and be attentive to the words of my mouth.
  • 25 Let not your heart turn aside to her ways; do not stray into her paths,
  • 26 for many a victim has she laid low, and all her slain are a mighty throng.
  • 27 Her house is the way to Sheol, going down to the chambers of death.
