May 27【每日活水】亲近智慧，远离罪恶

1 我儿，你要遵守我的言语，将我的命令存记在心。

2 遵守我的命令就得存活；保守我的法则，好像保守眼中的瞳人，

3 系在你指头上，刻在你心版上。

4 对智慧说：你是我的姊妹，称呼聪明为你的亲人，

5 她就保你远离淫妇，远离说谄媚话的外女。

淫乱的妇人

6 我曾在我房屋的窗户内，从我窗棂之间往外观看：

7 见愚蒙人内，少年人中，分明有一个无知的少年人，

8 从街上经过，走近淫妇的巷口，直往通她家的路去，

9 在黄昏，或晚上，或半夜，或黑暗之中。

10 看哪，有一个妇人来迎接他，是妓女的打扮，有诡诈的心思。

11 这妇人喧嚷，不守约束，在家里停不住脚，

12 有时在街市上，有时在宽阔处，或在各巷口蹲伏，

13 拉住那少年人，与他亲嘴，脸无羞耻对他说：

14 平安祭在我这里，今日才还了我所许的愿。

15 因此，我出来迎接你，恳切求见你的面，恰巧遇见了你。

16 我已经用绣花毯子和埃及线织的花纹布铺了我的床。

17 我又用没药、沉香、桂皮薰了我的榻。

18 你来，我们可以饱享爱情，直到早晨；我们可以彼此亲爱欢乐。

19 因为我丈夫不在家，出门行远路；

20 他手拿银囊，必到月望才回家。

21 淫妇用许多巧言诱他随从，用谄媚的嘴逼他同行。

22 少年人立刻跟随她，好像牛往宰杀之地；又像愚昧人带锁链去受刑罚，

23 直等箭穿他的肝；如同雀鸟急入网罗，却不知是自丧己命。

24 众子啊，现在要听从我，留心听我口中的话。

25 你的心不可偏向淫妇的道，不要入她的迷途。

26 因为，被她伤害仆倒的不少；被她杀戮的而且甚多。

27 她的家是在阴间之路，下到死亡之宫。    

Warning Against the Adulterous Woman

1 My son, keep my words and store up my commands within you.

2 Keep my commands and you will live; guard my teachings 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 to insight, “You are my relative.”

5 They will keep you from the adulterous woman, from the wayward woman with her seductive words.

6 At the window of my house I looked down through the lattice.

7 I saw among the simple, I noticed among the young men, a youth who had no sense.

8 He was going down the street near her corner, walking along in the direction of her house

9 at twilight, as the day was fading, as the dark of night set in.

10 Then out came a woman to meet him, dressed like a prostitute and with crafty intent.

11 (She is unruly and defiant, her feet never stay at home;

12 now in the street, now in the squares, at every corner she lurks.)

13 She took hold of him and kissed him and with a brazen face she said:

14 “Today I fulfilled my vows, and I have food from my fellowship offering at home.

15 So I came out to meet you; I looked for you and have found you!

16 I have covered my bed with colored linens from Egypt.

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

18 Come, let’s drink deeply of love till morning; let’s enjoy ourselves with love!

19 My husband is not at home; he has gone on a long journey.

20 He took his purse filled with money and will not be home till full moon.”

21 With persuasive words she led him astray; she seduced him with her smooth talk.

22 All at once he followed her like an ox going to the slaughter, like a deer stepping into a noose

23 till an arrow pierces his liver, like a bird darting into a snare, little knowing it will cost him his life.

24 Now then, my sons, listen to me; pay attention to what I say.

25 Do not let your heart turn to her ways or stray into her paths.

26 Many are the victims she has brought down; her slain are a mighty throng.

27 Her house is a highway to the grave, leading down to the chamb.
