New Testament

Proverbs 7:2-15 God's Word Translation (GW)

2. Obey my commands so that you may live.Follow my teachings just as you protect the pupil of your eye.

3. Tie them on your fingers.Write them on the tablet of your heart.

4. Say to wisdom, “You are my sister.”Give the name “my relative” to understanding

5. in order to guard yourself from an adulterous woman,from a loose woman with her smooth talk.

6. From a window in my house I looked through my screen.

7. I was looking at gullible peoplewhen I saw a young man without much sense among youths.

8. He was crossing a street near her cornerand walking toward her house

9. in the twilight,in the evening,in the dark hours of the night.

10. A woman with an ulterior motive meets him.She is dressed as a prostitute.

11. She is loud and rebellious.Her feet will not stay at home.

12. One moment she is out on the street,the next she is at the curb,on the prowl at every corner.

13. She grabs him and kisses him and brazenly says to him,

14. “I have some sacrificial meat.Today I kept my vows.

15. That’s why I came to meet you.Eagerly, I looked for you,and I’ve found you.
