| | Pro 7:6 | For at the window of my house, I looked forth through my lattice,
| |

| |

| |
| | Pro 7:12 | now without, now in the broadways, -- and she lieth in wait at every corner.

| |
| | Pro 7:23 | till an arrow strike through his liver: as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for its life.
| |
| | Pro 7:24 | And now, ye sons, hearken unto me, and attend to the words of my mouth.
