2. Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thy eye.
3. Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thy heart.
4. Say to wisdom, Thou art my sister; and call understanding thy kinswoman:
5. That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger which flattereth with her words.
6. For at the window of my house I looked through my casement,
7. And beheld 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 behold, there met him a woman with the attire of a harlot, and subtil of heart.
11. (She is loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house:
12. Now is she without, now in the streets, and lieth 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.
