Proverbs 7:13-23

EJ2000(i) 13 So she caught him and kissed him and with an impudent face said unto him, 14 I had promised sacrifices of peace; today I have payed my vows. 15 Therefore I came forth to meet thee, diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee. 16 I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with carved works, with fine linen of Egypt. 17 I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. 18 Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning; let us solace ourselves with loves. 19 For the husband is not at home; he is gone a long journey: 20 He has taken a bag of money with him and will come home at the appointed feast day. 21 With her much fair speech she caused him to yield; with the flattering of her lips she persuaded him. 22 He went after her straightway, as an ox goes to the slaughter or as a fool to the correction of the stocks, 23 until the arrow pierces through his liver. He is as a bird struggling in the snare and not knowing that it is against his own life.
