Proverbios 7

Las artimañas de la ramera
7 Hijo mío, guarda mis razones,
Y atesora contigo mis mandamientos.
2 Guarda mis mandamientos y vivirás,
Y mi ley como las niñas de tus ojos.
3 Lígalos a tus dedos;
Escríbelos en la tabla de tu corazón.
4 Di a la sabiduría: Tú eres mi hermana,
Y a la inteligencia llama parienta;
5 Para que te guarden de la mujer ajena,
Y de la extraña que ablanda sus palabras.
6 Porque mirando yo por la ventana de mi casa,
Por mi celosía,
7 Vi entre los simples,
Consideré entre los jóvenes,
A un joven falto de entendimiento,
8 El cual pasaba por la calle, junto a la esquina,
E iba camino a la casa de ella,
9 A la tarde del día, cuando ya oscurecía,
En la oscuridad y tinieblas de la noche.
10 Cuando he aquí, una mujer le sale al encuentro,
Con atavío de ramera y astuta de corazón.
11 Alborotadora y rencillosa,
Sus pies no pueden estar en casa;
12 Unas veces está en la calle, otras veces en las plazas,
Acechando por todas las esquinas.
13 Se asió de él, y le besó.
Con semblante descarado le dijo:
14 Sacrificios de paz había prometido,
Hoy he pagado mis votos;
15 Por tanto, he salido a encontrarte,
Buscando diligentemente tu rostro, y te he hallado.
16 He adornado mi cama con colchas
Recamadas con cordoncillo de Egipto;
17 He perfumado mi cámara
Con mirra, áloes y canela.
18 Ven, embriaguémonos de amores hasta la mañana;
Alegrémonos en amores.
19 Porque el marido no está en casa;
Se ha ido a un largo viaje.
20 La bolsa de dinero llevó en su mano;
El día señalado volverá a su casa.
21 Lo rindió con la suavidad de sus muchas palabras,
Le obligó con la zalamería de sus labios.
22 Al punto se marchó tras ella,
Como va el buey al degolladero,
Y como el necio a las prisiones para ser castigado;
23 Como el ave que se apresura a la red,
Y no sabe que es contra su vida,
Hasta que la saeta traspasa su corazón.
24 Ahora pues, hijos, oídme,
Y estad atentos a las razones de mi boca.
25 No se aparte tu corazón a sus caminos;
No yerres en sus veredas.
26 Porque a muchos ha hecho caer heridos,
Y aun los más fuertes han sido muertos por ella.
27 Camino al Seol es su casa,
Que conduce a las cámaras de la muerte.

Avoid loose women
7 My son, keep my words;
store up my commands within you.
2 Keep my commands and live,
and my instruction like the pupil of your eye.
3 Bind them on your fingers;
write them on the tablet of your heart.
4 Say to wisdom, “You are my sister”;
call understanding “friend,”
5 so she might guard you against the mysterious woman,
from the foreign woman who flatters you.
6 When from the window of my house,
from behind the screen, I gazed down,
7 I looked among the naive young men
and noticed among the youth, one who had no sense.
8 He was crossing the street at her corner
and walked down the path to her house
9 in the early evening,
at the onset of night and darkness.
10 All of a sudden a woman approaches him,
dressed like a prostitute and with a cunning mind.
11 She is noisy and defiant;
her feet don’t stay long in her own house.
12 She has one foot in the street, one foot in the public square.
She lies in wait at every corner.
13 She grabs him and kisses him.
Her face is brazen as she speaks to him:
14 “I’ve made a sacrifice of well-being;
today I fulfilled my solemn promises.
15 So I’ve come out to meet you,
seeking you, and I have found you.
16 I’ve spread my bed with luxurious covers,
with colored linens from Egypt.
17 I’ve sprinkled my bed with myrrh,
aloes, and cinnamon.
18 Come, let’s drink deep of love until morning;
let’s savor our lovemaking.
19 For my husband isn’t home;
he’s gone far away.
20 He took a pouch of money with him;
he won’t come home till full moon.”
21 She seduces him with all her talk.
She entices him with her flattery.
22 He goes headlong after her,
like an ox to the slaughter,
like a deer leaping into a trap,[a]
23 until an arrow pierces his liver,
like a bird hurrying to the snare,
not aware that it will cost him his life.
24 Now children, listen to me,
and pay attention to my speech.
25 Don’t turn your heart to her ways;
don’t wander down her paths.
26 She has caused many corpses to fall;
she has killed many people.
27 Her house is a path to the grave,[b]
going down to the chambers of death.

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 table 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 stranger which flattereth with her words.
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,
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 an harlot, and subtil of heart.
11 (She is loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house:
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.
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.
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.
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, going down to the chambers of death.
