20:007:016 I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with carved
           works, with fine linen of Egypt.

20:007:017 I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.

20:007:018 Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning:  let us
           solace ourselves with loves.

20:007:019 For the goodman is not at home, he is gone a long journey: 

20:007:020 He hath taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at
           the day appointed.

20:007:021 With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the
           flattering of her lips she forced him.

20:007:022 He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the
           slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks;

20:007:023 Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the
           snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life.

20:007:024 Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend to
           the words of my mouth.

20:007:025 Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her
           paths.

20:007:026 For she hath cast down many wounded:  yea, many strong men have
           been slain by her.

20:007:027 Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of
           death.

20:008:001 Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice?

20:008:002 She standeth in the top of high places, by the way in the
           places of the paths.

20:008:003 She crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the
           coming in at the doors.

20:008:004 Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice is to the sons of man.

20:008:005 O ye simple, understand wisdom:  and, ye fools, be ye of an
           understanding heart.

20:008:006 Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of
           my lips shall be right things.

20:008:007 For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness is an
           abomination to my lips.

20:008:008 All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is
           nothing froward or perverse in them.

20:008:009 They are all plain to him that understandeth, and right to
           them that find knowledge.

20:008:010 Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather
           than choice gold.

20:008:011 For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may
           be desired are not to be compared to it.

20:008:012 I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty
           inventions.

20:008:013 The fear of the lord is to hate evil:  pride, and arrogancy,
           and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.

20:008:014 Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom:  I am understanding; I have
           strength.
