And he went the way to her house,\nVerse 7:9: In the twilight, in the evening of the day, In the middle of the night and in the darkness.\nVerse 7:10: And, behold, there met him a woman With the attire of a harlot, and wily of heart.\nVerse 7:11: (She is clamorous and wilful; Her feet abide not in her house:\nVerse 7:12: Now she is in the streets, now in the broad places, And lieth in wait at every corner.)\nVerse 7:13: So she caught him, and kissed him, And with an impudent face she said unto him:\nVerse 7:14: Sacrifices of peace-offerings are with me; This day have I paid my vows.\nVerse 7:15: Therefore came I forth to meet thee, Diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee.\nVerse 7:16: I have spread my couch with carpets of tapestry, With striped cloths of the yarn of Egypt.\nVerse 7:17: I have perfumed my bed With myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.\nVerse 7:18: Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning; Let us solace ourselves with loves.\nVerse 7:19: For the man is not at home; He is gone a long journey:\nVerse 7:20: He hath taken a bag of money with him; He will come home at the full moon.\nVerse 7:21: With her much fair speech she causeth him to yield; With the flattering of her lips she forceth him along.\nVerse 7:22: He goeth after her straightway, As an ox goeth to the slaughter, Or as one in fetters to the correction of the fool;\nVerse 7:23: Till an arrow strike through his liver; As a bird hasteth to the snare, And knoweth not that it is for his life.\nVerse 7:24: Now therefore, my sons, hearken unto me, And attend to the words of my mouth.\nVerse 7:25: Let not thy heart decline to her ways; Go not astray in her paths.\nVerse 7:26: For she hath cast down many wounded: Yea, all her slain are a mighty host.\nVerse 7:27: Her house is the way to Sheol, Going down to the chambers of death.\n\n### Proverbs 8\n\nVerse 8:1: Doth not wisdom cry, And understanding put forth her voice?\nVerse 8:2: On the top of high places by the way, Where the paths meet, she standeth;\nVerse 8:3: Beside the gates, at the entry of the city, At the coming in at the doors, she crieth aloud:\nVerse 8:4: Unto you, O men, I call; And my voice is to the sons of men.\nVerse 8:5: O ye simple, understand prudence; And, ye fools, be of an understanding heart.\nVerse 8:6: Hear, for I will speak excellent things; And the opening of my lips shall be right things.\nVerse 8:7: For my mouth shall utter truth; And wickedness is an abomination to my lips.\nVerse 8:8: All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; There is nothing crooked or perverse in them.\nVerse 8:9: They are all plain to him that understandeth, And right to them that find knowledge.\nVerse 8:10: Receive my instruction, and not silver;

And I was daily his delight, Rejoicing always before him,\nVerse 8:31: Rejoicing in his habitable earth; And my delight was with the sons of men.\nVerse 8:32: Now therefore, my sons, hearken unto me; For blessed are they that keep my ways.\nVerse 8:33: Hear instruction, and be wise, And refuse it not.\nVerse 8:34: Blessed is the man that heareth me, Watching daily at my gates, Waiting at the posts of my doors.\nVerse 8:35: For whoso findeth me findeth life, And shall obtain favor of Jehovah.\nVerse 8:36: But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: All they that hate me love death.\n\n### Proverbs 9\n\nVerse 9:1: Wisdom hath builded her house;
