Thoughts for today:
| 1 | My son, keep my words, |
| And treasure my commands within you. | |
| 2 | Keep my commands and live, |
| And my law as the apple of your eye. | |
| 3 | Bind them on your fingers; |
| Write them on the tablet of your heart. | |
| 4 | Say to wisdom, "You are my sister," |
| And call understanding your nearest kin, | |
| 5 | That they may keep you from the immoral woman, |
| From the seductress who flatters with her words. | |
| 6 | For at the window of my house |
| I looked through my lattice, | |
| 7 | And saw among the simple, |
| I perceived among the youths, | |
| A young man devoid of understanding, | |
| 8 | Passing along the street near her corner; |
| And he took the path to her house | |
| 9 | In the twilight, in the evening, |
| In the black and dark night. | |
| 10 | And there a woman met him, |
| With the attire of a harlot, and a crafty heart. | |
| 11 | She was loud and rebellious, |
| Her feet would not stay at home. | |
| 12 | At times she was outside, at times in the open square, |
| Lurking at every corner. | |
| 13 | So she caught him and kissed him; |
| With an impudent face she said to him: | |
| 14 | "I have peace offerings with me; |
| Today I have paid my vows. | |
| 15 | So I came out to meet you, |
| Diligently to seek your face, | |
| And I have found you. | |
| 16 | I have spread my bed with tapestry, |
| Colored coverings of Egyptian linen. | |
| 17 | I have perfumed my bed |
| With myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. | |
| 18 | Come, let us take our fill of love until morning; |
| Let us delight ourselves with love. | |
| 19 | For my husband is not at home; |
| He has gone on a long journey; | |
| 20 | He has taken a bag of money with him, |
| And will come home on the appointed day." | |
| 21 | With her enticing speech she caused him to yield, |
| With her flattering lips she seduced him. | |
| 22 | Immediately he went after her, as an ox goes to the slaughter, |
| Or as a fool to the correction of the stocks, | |
| 23 | Till an arrow struck his liver. |
| As a bird hastens to the snare, | |
| He did not know it would cost his life. | |
| 24 | Now therefore, listen to me, my children; |
| Pay attention to the words of my mouth: | |
| 25 | Do not let your heart turn aside to her ways, |
| Do not stray into her paths; | |
| 26 | For she has cast down many wounded, |
| And all who were slain by her were strong men. | |
| 27 | Her house is the way to hell, |
| Descending to the chambers of death. |
| Reason's last step is the recognition that there are an infinite number of things which are beyond it. |
