Proverbs 7:10-21
10
Then out came a woman to meet him,
dressed like a prostitute and with crafty intent.
11
(She is loud and defiant,
her feet never stay at home;
12
now in the street, now in the squares,
at every corner she lurks.)
13
She took hold of him and kissed him
and with a brazen face she said:
14
“I have fellowship offerings at home;
today I fulfilled my vows.
15
So I came out to meet you;
I looked for you and have found you!
16
I have covered my bed
with colored linens from Egypt.
17
I have perfumed my bed
with myrrh, aloes and cinnamon.
18
Come, let’s drink deep of love till morning;
let’s enjoy ourselves with love!
19
My husband is not at home;
he has gone on a long journey.
20
He took his purse filled with money
and will not be home till full moon.”
21
With persuasive words she led him astray;
she seduced him with her smooth talk.
