- 1My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee.בְּ֭נִי שְׁמֹ֣ר אֲמָרָ֑י וּ֝מִצְוֺתַ֗י תִּצְפֹּ֥ן אִתָּֽךְ
- 2Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye.שְׁמֹ֣ר מִצְוֺתַ֣י וֶחְיֵ֑ה וְ֝תוֹרָתִ֗י כְּאִישׁ֥וֹן עֵינֶֽיךָ
- 3Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thine heart.קָשְׁרֵ֥ם עַל אֶצְבְּעֹתֶ֑יךָ כָּ֝תְבֵ֗ם עַל ל֥וּחַ לִבֶּֽךָ
- 4Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister; and call understanding thy kinswoman:אֱמֹ֣ר לַֽ֭חָכְמָה אֲחֹ֣תִי אָ֑תְּ וּ֝מֹדָ֗ע לַבִּינָ֥ה תִקְרָֽא
- 5That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger which flattereth with her words.לִ֭שְׁמָרְךָ מֵאִשָּׁ֣ה זָרָ֑ה מִ֝נָּכְרִיָּ֗ה אֲמָרֶ֥יהָ הֶחֱלִֽיקָה
- 6For at the window of my house I looked through my casement,כִּ֭י בְּחַלּ֣וֹן בֵּיתִ֑י בְּעַ֖ד אֶשְׁנַבִּ֣י נִשְׁקָֽפְתִּי
- 7And beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding,וָאֵ֤רֶא בַפְּתָאיִ֗ם אָ֘בִ֤ינָה בַבָּנִ֗ים נַ֣עַר חֲסַר לֵֽב
- 8Passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house,עֹבֵ֣ר בַּ֭שּׁוּק אֵ֣צֶל פִּנָּ֑הּ וְדֶ֖רֶךְ בֵּיתָ֣הּ יִצְעָֽד
- 9In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night:בְּנֶֽשֶׁף בְּעֶ֥רֶב י֑וֹם בְּאִישׁ֥וֹן לַ֝֗יְלָה וַאֲפֵלָֽה
- 10And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart.וְהִנֵּ֣ה אִ֭שָּׁה לִקְרָאת֑וֹ שִׁ֥ית ז֝וֹנָ֗ה וּנְצֻ֥רַת לֵֽב
- 11(She is loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house:הֹמִיָּ֣ה הִ֣יא וְסֹרָ֑רֶת בְּ֝בֵיתָ֗הּ לֹא יִשְׁכְּנ֥וּ רַגְלֶֽיהָ
- 12Now is she without, now in the streets, and lieth in wait at every corner.)פַּ֤עַם בַּח֗וּץ פַּ֥עַם בָּרְחֹב֑וֹת וְאֵ֖צֶל כָּל פִּנָּ֣ה תֶאֱרֹֽב
- 13So she caught him, and kissed him, and with an impudent face said unto him,וְהֶחֱזִ֣יקָה וְנָ֣שְׁקָה הֵעֵ֥זָה פָ֝נֶ֗יהָ וַתֹּ֣אמַר
- 14I have peace offerings with me; this day have I payed my vows.זִבְחֵ֣י שְׁלָמִ֣ים עָלָ֑י הַ֝יּ֗וֹם שִׁלַּ֥מְתִּי נְדָרָֽי
- 15Therefore came I forth to meet thee, diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee.עַל כֵּ֭ן יָצָ֣אתִי לִקְרָאתֶ֑ךָ לְשַׁחֵ֥ר פָּ֝נֶ֗יךָ וָאֶמְצָאֶֽךָּ
- 16I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with carved works, with fine linen of Egypt.מַ֭רְבַדִּים רָבַ֣דְתִּי עַרְשִׂ֑י חֲ֝טֻב֗וֹת אֵט֥וּן מִצְרָֽיִם
- 17I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.נַ֥פְתִּי מִשְׁכָּבִ֑י מֹ֥ר אֲ֝הָלִ֗ים וְקִנָּמֽוֹן
- 18Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning: let us solace ourselves with loves.לְכָ֤ה נִרְוֶ֣ה דֹ֭דִים עַד הַבֹּ֑קֶר נִ֝תְעַלְּסָ֗ה בָּאֳהָבִֽים
- 19For the goodman is not at home, he is gone a long journey:כִּ֤י אֵ֣ין הָאִ֣ישׁ בְּבֵית֑וֹ הָ֝לַ֗ךְ בְּדֶ֣רֶךְ מֵרָחֽוֹק
- 20He hath taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at the day appointed.צְֽרוֹר הַ֭כֶּסֶף לָקַ֣ח בְּיָד֑וֹ לְי֥וֹם הַ֝כֵּ֗סֶא יָבֹ֥א בֵיתֽוֹ
- 21With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him.הִ֭טַּתּוּ בְּרֹ֣ב לִקְחָ֑הּ בְּחֵ֥לֶק שְׂ֝פָתֶ֗יהָ תַּדִּיחֶֽנּוּ
- 22He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks;ה֤וֹלֵ֥ךְ אַחֲרֶ֗יהָ פִּ֫תְאֹ֥ם כְּ֭שׁוֹר אֶל טָ֣בַח יָב֑וֹא וּ֝כְעֶ֗כֶס אֶל מוּסַ֥ר אֱוִֽיל
- 23Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life.עַ֤ד יְפַלַּ֪ח חֵ֡ץ כְּֽבֵד֗וֹ כְּמַהֵ֣ר צִפּ֣וֹר אֶל פָּ֑ח וְלֹֽא יָ֝דַ֗ע כִּֽי בְנַפְשׁ֥וֹ הֽוּא
- 24Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend to the words of my mouth.וְעַתָּ֣ה בָ֭נִים שִׁמְעוּ וְ֝הַקְשִׁ֗יבוּ לְאִמְרֵי פִֽי
- 25Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths.אַל יֵ֣שְׂטְ אֶל דְּרָכֶ֣יהָ לִבֶּ֑ךָ אַל תֵּ֝תַע בִּנְתִיבוֹתֶֽיהָ
- 26For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her.כִּֽי רַבִּ֣ים חֲלָלִ֣ים הִפִּ֑ילָה וַ֝עֲצֻמִ֗ים כָּל הֲרֻגֶֽיהָ
- 27Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death.דַּרְכֵ֣י שְׁא֣וֹל בֵּיתָ֑הּ יֹ֝רְד֗וֹת אֶל חַדְרֵי מָֽוֶת

Hebrew verse gematria
YHWSA calculates these totals directly from every consonant in the tagged Hebrew source line using the Carlo Suarès letter-number system; vowel points and cantillation marks do not add values. The totals are not reverse-mapped from English. A matching number is a comparison to investigate, not proof that two passages mean the same thing.
Lexical definitions describe possible word ranges, not automatic interpretations of a verse. See the concordance guide, gematria method, and source policy.
