Proverbs 7:25

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths.

Do not enter the path of the wicked or walk in the way of those who are evil.

Keep yourself far from her, and do not go near the door of her house,

Do not lust in your heart for her beauty, and do not let her captivate you with her alluring eyes;

Do not look on the wine when it is red, when it sparkles in the cup, when it goes down smoothly.

But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to desire her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

He will die because there was no discipline; because of the greatness of his folly he will reel.

I have wandered off like a lost sheep. Come looking for your servant, for I do not forget your commands.

All of us had wandered off like sheep; each of us had strayed off on his own path, but the Lord caused the sin of all of us to attack him.

For her house sinks down to death, and her paths lead to the place of the departed spirits.

calling out to those who are passing by her in the way, who go straight on their way.
