2keep my commandments and live,
3bind them on your fingers,
4Say to wisdom, You are my sister,
5that they may keep you from the loose
7and I saw among the simple ones,
8passing along the street near her corner,
9in the twilight, in the evening,
11She is loud and wayward;
12now in the street, now in the squares,
13She seizes him and kisses him,
14I had to offer sacrifices,
15so now I have come out to meet you,
16I have decked my couch with coverings,
17I have perfumed my bed with myrrh,
18Come, let us take our fill of love until morning;
19For my husband is not at home;
20He took a bag of money with him;
22Right away he follows her,
or bounds like a stag toward the trap
23until an arrow pierces its entrails.
He is like a bird rushing into a snare,
25Do not let your hearts turn aside to her ways;
26for many are those she has laid low,
27Her house is the way to Sheol,

13I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life.
14And this is the boldness we have in him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. 15And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have obtained the requests made of him. 16If you see your brother or sister committing what is not a mortal sin, you will ask, and God will give life to such a oneto those whose sin is not mortal. There is sin that is mortal; I do not say that you should pray about that. 17All wrongdoing is sin, but there is sin that is not mortal.
18We know that those who are born of God do not sin, but the one who was born of God protects them, and the evil one does not touch them. 19We know that we are Gods children, and that the whole world lies under the power of the evil one. 20And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding so that we may know him who is true; and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life. 21Little children, keep yourselves from idols.
