Douay Bible - Proverbs Chapter 7

Proverbs 7:1
My son, keep my words, and lay up my precepts with thee. Son,

Proverbs 7:2
Keep my commandments, and thou shalt live: and my law as the apple of thy eye:

Proverbs 7:3
Bind it upon thy fingers, write it upon the tables of thy heart.

Proverbs 7:4
Say to wisdom: Thou art my sister: and call prudence thy friend,

Proverbs 7:5
That she may keep thee from the woman that is not thine, and from the stranger who sweeteneth her words.

Proverbs 7:6
For I look out of the window of my house through the lattice,

Proverbs 7:7
And I see little ones, I behold a foolish young man,

Proverbs 7:8
Who passeth through the street by the corner, and goeth nigh the way of her house.

Proverbs 7:9
In the dark, when it grows late, in the darkness and obscurity of the night,

Proverbs 7:10
And behold a woman meeteth him in harlot’s attire prepared to deceive souls; talkative and wandering,

Proverbs 7:11
Not bearing to be quiet, not able to abide still at home,

Proverbs 7:12
Now abroad, now in the streets, now lying in wait near the corners.

Proverbs 7:13
And catching the young man, she kisseth him, and with an impudent face, flattereth, saying:

Proverbs 7:14
I vowed victims for prosperity, this day I have paid my vows.

Proverbs 7:15
Therefore I am come out to meet thee, desirous to see thee, and I have found thee.

Proverbs 7:16
I have woven my bed with cords, I have covered it with painted tapestry, brought from Egypt.

Proverbs 7:17
I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.

Proverbs 7:18
Come, let us be inebriated with the breasts, and let us enjoy the desired embraces, till the day appear.

Proverbs 7:19
For my husband is not at home, he is gone a very long journey.

Proverbs 7:20
He took with him a bag of money: he mill return home the day of the full moon.

Proverbs 7:21
She entangled him with many words, and drew him away with the flattery of her lips.

Proverbs 7:22
Immediately he followeth her as an ox led to be a victim, and as a lamb playing the wanton, and not knowing that he is drawn like a fool to bonds,

Proverbs 7:23
Till the arrow pierce his liver: as if a bird should make haste to the snare, and knoweth not that his life is in danger.

Proverbs 7:24
Now therefore, my son, hear me, and attend to the words of my mouth.

Proverbs 7:25
Let not thy mind be drawn away in her ways: neither be thou deceived with her paths.

Proverbs 7:26
For she hath cast down many wounded, and the strongest have been slain by her.

Proverbs 7:27
Her house is the way to hell, reaching even to the inner chambers of death.

Introduction to the Douay-Rheims Bible

The Douay-Rheims Bible is an English translation of the Latin Vulgate, a 4th-century Latin translation of the Bible. It was published in the late 16th and early 17th centuries for English-speaking Catholics. The New Testament was published in 1582 and the Old Testament in 1609-10. It is considered one of the most influential English Bibles of the time. The Douay-Rheims Bible differs from other versions in several ways: Translation source: Unlike many other English Bibles that were translated from the original Greek and Hebrew texts, the Douay-Rheims was translated from the Latin Vulgate, which was the standard version of the Bible for the Catholic Church for many centuries. Language: The Douay-Rheims uses an archaic form of English, making it difficult for modern readers to understand. Theology: The Douay-Rheims reflects the theology of the Catholic Church, including its views on the authority of the Pope and the sacraments. Footnotes and commentary: The Douay-Rhe...
