Brainwash Yourself With Wisdom — Reading Proverbs 1-10 (NASB)

A young man lacking sense,Passing through the street near her corner;And he takes the way to her house,In the twilight, in the evening,In the middle of the night and in the darkness.And behold, a woman comes to meet him,Dressed as a harlot and cunning of heart.She is boisterous and rebellious,Her feet do not remain at home;She is now in the streets, now in the squares,And lurks by every corner.So she seizes him and kisses himAnd with a brazen face she says to him:“I was due to offer peace offerings;Today I have paid my vows.“Therefore I have come out to meet you,To seek your presence earnestly, and I have found you.“I have spread my couch with coverings,With colored linens of Egypt.“I have sprinkled my bedWith myrrh, aloes and cinnamon.“Come, let us drink our fill of love until morning;Let us delight ourselves with caresses.“For my husband is not at home,He has gone on a long journey;He has taken a bag of money with him,At the full moon he will come home.”With her many persuasions she entices him;With her flattering lips she seduces him.Suddenly he follows herAs 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.Proverbs 7:7-23 This is a public episode.
