M. Do Not Commit Adultery........................ 6:20-7:27
Pro 6:20
My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother:Pro 6:21
Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck.Pro 6:22
When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.Pro 6:23
For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:Pro 6:24
To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.Pro 6:25
Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.Pro 6:26
For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life.Pro 6:27
Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?Pro 6:28
Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned?Pro 6:29
So he that goeth in to his neighbour's wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent.Pro 6:30
Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry;Pro 6:31
But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house.Pro 6:32
But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul.Pro 6:33
A wound and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away.Pro 6:34
For jealousy is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance.Pro 6:35
He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts.
Pro 7:1
My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee.Pro 7:2
Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye.Pro 7:3
Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thine heart.Pro 7:4
Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister; and call understanding thy kinswoman:Pro 7:5
That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger which flattereth with her words.Pro 7:6
For at the window of my house I looked through my casement,Pro 7:7
And beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding,Pro 7:8
Passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house,Pro 7:9
In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night:Pro 7:10
And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart.Pro 7:11
(She is loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house:Pro 7:12
Now is she without, now in the streets, and lieth in wait at every corner.)Pro 7:13
So she caught him, and kissed him, and with an impudent face said unto him,Pro 7:14
I have peace offerings with me; this day have I payed my vows.Pro 7:15
Therefore came I forth to meet thee, diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee.Pro 7:16
I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with carved works, with fine linen of Egypt.Pro 7:17
I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.Pro 7:18
Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning: let us solace ourselves with loves.Pro 7:19
For the goodman is not at home, he is gone a long journey:Pro 7:20
He hath taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at the day appointed.Pro 7:21
With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him.Pro 7:22
He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks;Pro 7:23
Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life.Pro 7:24
Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend to the words of my mouth.Pro 7:25
Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths.Pro 7:26
For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her.Pro 7:27
Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death.
