Proverbs 7:6–9

⁸And it came to pass, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out at a window, and saw, and, behold, Isaac was sporting with Rebekah his wife.

²⁸The mother of Sisera looked out at a window, and cried through the lattice, Why is his chariot so long in coming? why tarry the wheels of his chariots?

¹⁶And as the ark of the Lord came into the city of David, Michal Saul’s daughter looked through a window, and saw king David leaping and dancing before the Lord; and she despised him in her heart.

³²But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul.

²²How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?

²²For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are sottish children, and they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.

¹⁶And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding?

³²For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.

⁴To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion.

¹³In the lips of him that hath understanding wisdom is found: but a rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding.

⁵O ye simple, understand wisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart.

¹⁶Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: and as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,

⁴Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,

¹³⁰The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.

¹⁸For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.

¹⁹For your obedience is come abroad unto all men. I am glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple concerning evil.

¹¹He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth vain persons is void of understanding.

¹⁵The simple believeth every word: but the prudent man looketh well to his going.

¹⁸The simple inherit folly: but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.

²Also, that the soul be without knowledge, it is not good; and he that hasteth with his feet sinneth.

²⁵Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware: and reprove one that hath understanding, and he will understand knowledge.

³A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished.

³⁰I went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding;

¹²A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and are punished.

⁷The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.

¹⁸Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.

²¶ And it came to pass in an eveningtide, that David arose from off his bed, and walked upon the roof of the king’s house: and from the roof he saw a woman washing herself; and the woman was very beautiful to look upon.

³And David sent and inquired after the woman. And one said, Is not this Bath-sheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?

²²Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

²³And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.

¹THEN went Samson to Gaza, and saw there an harlot, and went in unto her.

¹⁴¶ Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men.

¹⁵Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away.

⁸Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house:

¹²Now is she without, now in the streets, and lieth in wait at every corner.)

¹³They are of those that rebel against the light; they know not the ways thereof, nor abide in the paths thereof.

¹⁴The murderer rising with the light killeth the poor and needy, and in the night is as a thief.

¹⁵The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, saying, No eye shall see me: and disguiseth his face.

¹²The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.

¹³Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.

¹⁴But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

¹¹And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.

¹¹And it came to pass about this time, that Joseph went into the house to do his business; and there was none of the men of the house there within.

⁶And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening.
