Proverbs 7:3-15 Modern English Version (MEV)

3. Bind them on your fingers;write them on the tablet of your heart.

4. Say to wisdom, “You are my sister,”and call understanding your kinswoman,

5. that they may keep you from the immoral woman,from the seductress who flatters with her words.

6. For at the window of my houseI looked through my casement,

7. and saw 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 there a woman met him,with the attire of a harlot, and subtle of heart.

11. She is loud and stubborn;her feet do not abide in her house.

12. Now she is without, now in the streets,and lies in wait at every corner.

13. So she caught him, and kissed him;and with an impudent face said to him:

14. “I have peace offerings with me;this day have I paid my vows.

15. Therefore I came out to meet you,diligently to seek your face, and I have found you.
