7:19 For the goodman is not at home, he is gone a long journey:
Voice Reading
7:20 He hath taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at the day appointed.
Voice Reading
7:21 With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him.
Voice Reading
7:22 He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks;
Voice Reading
7:23 Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life.
Voice Reading
7:24 Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend to the words of my mouth.
Voice Reading
7:25 Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths.
Voice Reading
7:26 For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her.
Voice Reading
7:27 Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death.

Voice Reading
8:2 She standeth in the top of high places, by the way in the places of the paths.
Voice Reading

Voice Reading
8:12 I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions.
Voice Reading

Voice Reading
8:15 By me kings reign, and princes decree justice.
