	[kjv]	Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye.
	[bbe]	Keep my rules and you will have life; let my teaching be to you as the light of your eyes;
7:3	[hb5]	繫在你指頭上、刻在你心版上。
	[kjv]	Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thine heart.
	[bbe]	Let them be fixed to your fingers, and recorded in your heart.
7:4	[hb5]	對智慧說、你是我的姊妹．稱呼聰明為你的親人．

	[bbe]	So that they may keep you from the strange woman, even from her whose words are smooth.
7:6	[hb5]	我曾在我房屋的窗戶內、從我窗櫺之間、往外觀看．
	[kjv]	For at the window of my house I looked through my casement,
	[bbe]	Looking out from my house, and watching through the window,

	[bbe]	Walking in the street near the turn of her road, going on the way to her house,
7:9	[hb5]	在黃昏、或晚上、或半夜、或黑暗之中、

	[bbe]	At nightfall, in the evening of the day, in the black dark of the night.
7:10	[hb5]	看哪、有一個婦人來迎接他、是妓女的打扮、有詭詐的心思。
	[kjv]	And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart.
	[bbe]	And the woman came out to him, in the dress of a loose woman, with a designing heart;
7:11	[hb5]	這婦人喧嚷不守約束、在家裡停不住腳．
	[kjv]	(She is loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house:
	[bbe]	She is full of noise and uncontrolled; her feet keep not in her house.
7:12	[hb5]	有時在街市上、有時在寬闊處、或在各巷口蹲伏．
	[kjv]	Now is she without, now in the streets, and lieth in wait at every corner.)
	[bbe]	Now she is in the street, now in the open spaces, waiting at every turning of the road.
7:13	[hb5]	拉住那少年人、與他親嘴、臉無羞恥對他說、
	[kjv]	So she caught him, and kissed him, and with an impudent face said unto him,
	[bbe]	So she took him by his hand, kissing him, and without a sign of shame she said to him:

	[kjv]	For the goodman is not at home, he is gone a long journey:

	[bbe]	With her fair words she overcame him, forcing him with her smooth lips.
7:22	[hb5]	少年人立刻跟隨他、好像牛往宰殺之地、又像愚昧人帶鎖鍊、去受刑罰．
	[kjv]	He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks;
	[bbe]	The simple man goes after her, like an ox going to its death, like a roe pulled by a cord;
7:23	[hb5]	直等箭穿他的肝、如同雀鳥急入網羅、卻不知是自喪己命。
	[kjv]	Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life.
	[bbe]	Like a bird falling into a net; with no thought that his life is in danger, till an arrow goes into his side.
7:24	[hb5]	眾子阿、現在要聽從我、留心聽我口中的話。

	[bbe]	So now, my sons, give ear to me; give attention to the sayings of my mouth;
7:25	[hb5]	你的心、不可偏向淫婦的道．不要入他的迷途。
	[kjv]	Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths.
	[bbe]	Let not your heart be turned to her ways, do not go wandering in her footsteps.
7:26	[hb5]	因為被他傷害仆倒的不少．被他殺戮的而且甚多。
	[kjv]	For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her.

	[kjv]	Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death.
	[bbe]	Her house is the way to the underworld, going down to the rooms of death.
