Proverbs 7:18-27

MSTC(i) 18 Come, let us lie together, and take our pleasure till it be daylight. 19 For the goodman is not at home, he is gone far off. 20 He hath taken the bag of money with him: who can tell when he cometh home?" 21 Thus with many sweet words she overcame him, and with her flattering lips she enticed him 22 suddenly to follow her - as it were an ox to the slaughter, and like as it were a fool that laugheth when he goeth to the stocks to be punished - 23 so long till she hath wounded his liver with her dart: like as if a bird hasted to the snare, not knowing that the peril of his life lieth thereupon. 24 Hear me now therefore, O my son, and mark the words of my mouth. 25 Let not thine heart wander in her ways, and be thou not deceived in her paths. 26 For many a one hath she wounded and cast down, yea many a strong man hath she slain. 27 Her houses are the way to hell, where men go down into the chambers of death.
