Pastor Rob Patterson 653 A Street Galt,
Proverbs 7 (NIV)
1-3 My son, keep my words and store up my commands within you.
Keep my commands and you will live;
guard my teachings as the apple of
your eye.
Bind them on your fingers;
write them
on the tablet of your heart.
4-5 Say to wisdom, "You are my sister,"
and call
understanding your kinsman;
they will keep you
from the adulteress,
from
the wayward wife with her seductive words.
6-9 At the
window of my house I looked out through the lattice.
I saw among the simple, I noticed among the young men,
a youth who
lacked judgment.
He was going down the
street near her corner,
walking along in the direction of
her house at twilight,
as the day was fading, as the dark
of night set in.
10-12 Then out came a woman to meet him,
dressed like a
prostitute and with crafty intent.
(She is loud and
defiant, her feet never stay at home;
now in the street,
now in the squares, at every corner she lurks.)
13
She took
hold of him and kissed him and with a
brazen face she said:
14-20 "I have fellowship offerings at home; today
I fulfilled my vows.
So I came out to
meet you; I looked for you and have found you!
I have covered my bed with
colored linens from
I have perfumed my bed
with myrrh, aloes and cinnamon.
Come, let's drink deep of love till
morning;
let's enjoy
ourselves with love! My husband is not at home;
he has gone on a
long journey. He took his purse filled with
money and will not be home till full
moon."
21
With
persuasive words she led him astray;
she seduced him with her smooth talk.
22-23 All at once he followed her like
an ox going to the slaughter,
like a deer stepping
into a noose till an arrow pierces his liver,
like a bird darting
into a snare,
little
knowing it will cost him his life.
24-27 Now then, my sons, listen to me; pay attention to what I say.
Do not let your
heart turn to her ways or stray into her paths.
Many are the
victims she has brought down;
her
slain are a mighty throng.
Her house is a highway to the grave,
leading down to
the chambers of death.
