The Audacity of a Professional Thief.
Solomon, who was the wisest man in his own day and generation, left words of wisdom that will be invaluable to all the generations to come if they are heeded. Solomon was emphatic in his denunciations of the "strange woman" and her tempting wiles. In the seventh chapter of Proverbs, he exhorts young men to beware of such dangerous females who flatter with their tongues. "For," he says, “at the window of my house I looked through my casement, and beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding, passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house, in the twilight or the evening, In the black and dark night; and, behold, there met him a woman with the attire or a harlot, and subtle of heart."
“So she caught him, and kissed him, and with an impudent face said unto him, 'I have peace offerings with me; this day have I paid my vows; therefore came I forth to meet thee, diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee.'
‘I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with carved works, with fine linen of Egypt.'
'I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.'
'Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning; let on solace ourselves with loves; for the good man is not at home, he is gone on a long journey.’"
“He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction or the stocks; till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it Is for his life."
"Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death."
The police of any of our cities will testify that the panel woman, and her tempting wiles, is the same treacherous and deceitful creature she was when Solomon reigned; that she spares neither the young middle-aged or even the old men she can draw up her winding stairs, and that the "good man gone on a long Journey" is liable to return unexpectedly and gather up much spoil from the deluded victim.
