Proverbs Chapter 7

 

1 My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee.

Prov 2:1  My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;

2 Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye.

Lev 18:5  Ye shall therefore keep my statutes, and my judgments: which if a man do, he shall live in them: I am the LORD.

Prov 4:4  He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live.

Duet 32:10  He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye.

3 Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thine heart.

Duet
6:8  And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.
11:18  Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes.

Prov
3:3  Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:
8:21  That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures.

4 Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister; and call understanding thy kinswoman:

5 That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger which flattereth with her words.

Prov
2:16  To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words;
5:3  For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil:
6:24  To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.

6 For at the window of my house I looked through my casement,

7 And beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding,

Prov
6:32  But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul.
9:4  Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,
9:16  Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: and as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,

8 Passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house,

9 In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night:

Job 24:15  The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, saying, No eye shall see me: and disguiseth his face.

10 And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart.

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

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

1 Tim 5:13  And withal they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not.

Titus 2:5  To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.

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

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

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

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

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

Isaiah 19:9  Moreover they that work in fine flax, and they that weave networks, shall be confounded.

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

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

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

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

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

Prov 5:3  For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil:

Psalms 12:2  They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.

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

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

Eccl 9:12  For man also knoweth not his time: as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare; so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them.

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

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

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

Neh 13:26  Did not Solomon king of Israel sin by these things? yet among many nations was there no king like him, who was beloved of his God, and God made him king over all Israel: nevertheless even him did outlandish women cause to sin.

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

Prov
2:18  For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead.
5:5  Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.
9:18  But he knoweth not that the dead are there; and that her guests are in the depths of hell.
