Her house is the way to Sheol,
Descending to the chambers of death.
Does not wisdom call,
And understanding lift up her voice?
On top of the heights beside the way,
Where the paths meet, she takes her stand;
— Proverbs 7:27 - 8:2

With her many persuasions she entices him;
With her flattering lips she seduces him.
Suddenly he follows her
As an ox goes to the slaughter,
Or as one in fetters to the discipline of a fool,
Until an arrow pierces through his liver;
As a bird hastens to the snare,
So he does not know that it will cost him his life.
Now therefore, my sons, listen to me,
And pay attention to the words of my mouth.
Do not let your heart turn aside to her ways,
Do not stray into her paths.
For many are the victims she has cast down,
And numerous are all her slain.
— Proverbs 7:21-26
“I have sprinkled my bed
With myrrh, aloes and cinnamon.
— Proverbs 7:17
“Therefore I have come out to meet you,
To seek your presence earnestly, and I have found you.
— Proverbs 7:15
So she seizes him and kisses him
And with a brazen face she says to him:
— Proverbs 7:13
She is now in the streets, now in the squares,
And lurks by every corner.
— Proverbs 7:12
In the twilight, in the evening,
In the middle of the night and in the darkness.
— Proverbs 7:9
For at the window of my house
I looked out through my lattice,
And I saw among the naive,
And discerned among the youths
A young man lacking sense,
— Proverbs 7:6-7
That they may keep you from an adulteress,
From the foreigner who flatters with her words.
— Proverbs 7:5
Keep my commandments and live,
And my teaching as the apple of your eye.
— Proverbs 7:2
