Proverbs 7:15-24
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 7
15
Therefore I have come out to meet you,
To seek your presence diligently, and I have found you.
16
I have spread my couch with coverings,
With colored linens of Egypt.
17
I have sprinkled my bed
With myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
18
Come, let’s drink our fill of love until morning;
Let’s delight ourselves with caresses.
19
For my husband is not at home;
He has gone on a long journey.
20
He has taken a bag of money with him.
At the full moon he will come home.'
21
With her many persuasions she entices him;
With her flattering lips she seduces him.
22
Suddenly he follows her
As an ox goes to the slaughter,
Or as
one
walks in ankle bracelets to the discipline of a fool,
23
Until an arrow pierces through his liver;
As a bird hurries to the snare,
So he does not know that it
will cost him
his life.
24
Now therefore,
my
sons, listen to me,
And pay attention to the words of my mouth.
King James Version
Chapter 7
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.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 7
15
So I came out to meet you,
to search for you, and I’ve found you.
16
I’ve spread coverings on my bed —
richly colored linen from Egypt.
17
I’ve perfumed my bed
with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
18
Come, let’s drink deeply of lovemaking until morning.
Let’s feast on each other’s love!
19
My husband isn’t home;
he went on a long journey.
20
He took a bag of silver with him
and will come home at the time of the full moon."
21
She seduces him with her persistent pleading;
she lures with her flattering talk.
22
He follows her impulsively
like an ox going to the slaughter,
like a deer bounding toward a trap
23
until an arrow pierces its liver,
like a bird darting into a snare —
he doesn’t know it will cost him his life.
24
Now, sons, listen to me,
and pay attention to the words from my mouth.
New Living Translation
Chapter 7
15
You’re the one I was looking for!
I came out to find you, and here you are!
16
My bed is spread with beautiful blankets,
with colored sheets of Egyptian linen.
17
I’ve perfumed my bed
with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
18
Come, let’s drink our fill of love until morning.
Let’s enjoy each other’s caresses,
19
for my husband is not home.
He’s away on a long trip.
20
He has taken a wallet full of money with him
and won’t return until later this month. '
21
So she seduced him with her pretty speech
and enticed him with her flattery.
22
He followed her at once,
like an ox going to the slaughter.
He was like a stag caught in a trap,
23
awaiting the arrow that would pierce its heart.
He was like a bird flying into a snare,
little knowing it would cost him his life.
24
So listen to me, my sons,
and pay attention to my words.
English Standard Version
Chapter 7
15
so now I have come out to meet you,
to seek you eagerly, and I have found you.
16
I have spread my couch with coverings,
colored linens from Egyptian linen;
17
I have perfumed my bed with myrrh,
aloes, and cinnamon.
18
Come, let us take our fill of love till morning;
let us delight ourselves with love.
19
For my husband is not at home;
he has gone on a long journey;
20
he took a bag of money with him;
at full moon he will come home."
21
With much seductive speech she persuades him;
with her smooth talk she compels him.
22
All at once he follows her,
as an ox goes to the slaughter,
or as a stag is caught fast
23
till an arrow pierces its liver;
as a bird rushes into a snare;
he does not know that it will cost him his life.
24
And now, O sons, listen to me,
and be attentive to the words of my mouth.
New International Version
Chapter 7
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
with myrrh, aloes and cinnamon.
18
Come, let’s drink deeply of love till morning;
let’s enjoy ourselves with love!
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.
22
All at once he followed her
like an ox going to the slaughter,
like a deer stepping into a noose
23
till an arrow pierces his liver,
like a bird darting into a snare,
little knowing it will cost him his life.
24
Now then, my sons, listen to me;
pay attention to what I say.
New King James Version
Chapter 7
15
So I came out to meet you,
Diligently to seek your face,
And I have found you.
16
I have spread my bed with tapestry,
Colored coverings of Egyptian linen.
17
I have perfumed my bed
With myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
18
Come, let us take our fill of love until morning;
Let us delight ourselves with love.
19
For my husband
is
not at home;
He has gone on a long journey;
20
He has taken a bag of money with him,
And
will come home on the appointed day.”
21
With her enticing speech she caused him to yield,
With her flattering lips she seduced him.
22
Immediately he went after her, as an ox goes to the slaughter,
Or as a fool to the correction of the stocks,
23
Till an arrow struck his liver.
As a bird hastens to the snare,
He did not know it
would cost
his life.
24
Now therefore, listen to me,
my
children;
Pay attention to the words of my mouth:
