Advertencia contra la mujer adúltera
7 Hijo mío, guarda mis palabras
y atesora mis mandamientos.
2 Cumple con mis mandamientos, y vivirás;
cuida mis enseñanzas como a la niña de tus ojos.
3 Llévalos atados en los dedos;
anótalos en la tabla de tu corazón.
4 Di a la sabiduría: «Tú eres mi hermana»,
y a la inteligencia: «Eres de mi sangre».
5 Ellas te librarán de la mujer ajena,
de la adúltera y de sus palabras seductoras.
6 Desde la ventana de mi casa
miré a través de la celosía.
7 Vi a los inexpertos,
y, entre los jóvenes, observé
a uno de ellos falto de juicio.[a]
8 Cruzó la calle, llegó a la esquina
y se encaminó hacia la casa de esa mujer.
9 Caía la tarde. Llegaba el día a su fin.
Avanzaban las sombras de la noche.
10 De pronto la mujer salió a su encuentro,
con toda la apariencia de una prostituta
y con solapadas intenciones.
11 Ella es escandalosa y descarada;
sus pies nunca hallan reposo en su casa.
12 Unas veces por las calles, otras veces por las plazas,
siempre está al acecho en cada esquina.
13 Se prendió de su cuello, lo besó
y, con todo descaro, dijo:
14 «Tengo en mi casa sacrificios de comunión,
pues hoy he cumplido mis promesas.
15 Por eso he venido a tu encuentro;
te buscaba, ¡y ya te he encontrado!
16 Sobre la cama he tendido
linos egipcios multicolores.
17 He perfumado mi lecho
con aroma de mirra, áloe y canela.
18 Ven, bebamos hasta el fondo la copa del amor;
¡disfrutemos del amor hasta el amanecer!
19 Mi esposo no está en casa,
pues ha emprendido un largo viaje.
20 Se ha llevado consigo la bolsa del dinero
y no regresará hasta el día de luna llena».
21 Con palabras persuasivas lo convenció;
con halagos de sus labios lo sedujo.
22 Y él enseguida fue tras ella,
como el buey que va camino al matadero;
como el ciervo[b] que cae en la trampa,[c]
23 hasta que una flecha le abre las entrañas;
como el ave que se lanza contra la red,
sin saber que en ello le va la vida.
24 Así que, hijo mío, escúchame;
presta[d] atención a mis palabras.
25 No desvíes tu corazón hacia sus sendas
ni te extravíes por sus caminos,
26 pues muchos han muerto por su causa;
sus víctimas han sido innumerables.
27 Su casa lleva derecho al sepulcro;[e]
conduce a las habitaciones de la muerte.

Proverbs 7
21st Century King James Version
Proverbs 7
21st Century King James Version
7 My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee.
2 Keep my commandments and live, and my law as the apple of thine eye.
3 Bind them upon thy fingers; write them upon the tablet of thine heart.
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 harlot who flattereth with her words.
6 For at the window of my house I looked through my casement,
7 and I beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youth, a young man void of understanding,
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.
10 And behold, there met him a woman with the attire of a harlot and subtle of heart.
11 (She is loud and stubborn, her feet abide not in her house;
12 now is she outside, 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 paid my vows.
15 Therefore came I forth to meet thee, diligently seeking 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.
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 love.
19 For the master is not at home; he is gone on 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.
22 He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks,
23 until a dart strike through his liver, as a bird hasteneth to the snare and knoweth not that it is for his life.
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.
27 Her house is the way to hell, leading down to the chambers of death.

Warning Against the Adulterous Woman
7 My son,(A) keep my words
and store up my commands within you.
2 Keep my commands and you will live;(B)
guard my teachings as the apple of your eye.
3 Bind them on your fingers;
write them on the tablet of your heart.(C)
4 Say to wisdom, “You are my sister,”
and to insight, “You are my relative.”
5 They will keep you from the adulterous woman,
from the wayward woman with her seductive words.(D)
6 At the window of my house
I looked down through the lattice.
7 I saw among the simple,
I noticed among the young men,
a youth who had no sense.(E)
8 He was going down the street near her corner,
walking along in the direction of her house
9 at twilight,(F) as the day was fading,
as the dark of night set in.
10 Then out came a woman to meet him,
dressed like a prostitute and with crafty intent.
11 (She is unruly(G) and defiant,
her feet never stay at home;
12 now in the street, now in the squares,
at every corner she lurks.)(H)
13 She took hold of him(I) and kissed him
and with a brazen face she said:(J)
14 “Today I fulfilled my vows,
and I have food from my fellowship offering(K) at home.
15 So I came out to meet you;
I looked for you and have found you!
16 I have covered my bed
with colored linens from Egypt.
17 I have perfumed my bed(L)
with myrrh,(M) aloes and cinnamon.
18 Come, let’s drink deeply of love till morning;
let’s enjoy ourselves with love!(N)
19 My husband is not at home;
he has gone on a long journey.
20 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.(O)
22 All at once he followed her
like an ox going to the slaughter,
like a deer[a] stepping into a noose[b](P)
23 till an arrow pierces(Q) his liver,
like a bird darting into a snare,
little knowing it will cost him his life.(R)
