Proverbs 7:4-15 New Living Translation (NLT)

4. Love wisdom like a sister;make insight a beloved member of your family.

5. Let them protect you from an affair with an immoral woman,from listening to the flattery of a promiscuous woman.

6. While I was at the window of my house,looking through the curtain,

7. I saw some naive young men,and one in particular who lacked common sense.

8. He was crossing the street near the house of an immoral woman,strolling down the path by her house.

9. It was at twilight, in the evening,as deep darkness fell.

10. The woman approached him,seductively dressed and sly of heart.

11. She was the brash, rebellious type,never content to stay at home.

12. She is often in the streets and markets,soliciting at every corner.

13. She threw her arms around him and kissed him,and with a brazen look she said,

14. “I’ve just made my peace offeringsand fulfilled my vows.

15. You’re the one I was looking for!I came out to find you, and here you are!
