10 And behold, a woman to his meeting, the attire of a harlot, and hidden of heart. 11 She being noisy and perverse; her feet will not dwell in her house: 12 One time without, one time in the broad ways; and she will lie in wait near every corner. 13 She laid hold upon him and kissed to him; she strengthened her face, and she will say to him, 14 Sacrifices of peace upon me: today I repaid my vows. 15 For this, I shall come forth to thy meeting, to seek thy face, and I shall find thee. 16 With adornings I spread my bed, variegated with thread of Egypt. 17 I sprinkled my bed with myrrh and aloes and cinnamon. 18 Come, we will be satisfied with loves till the morning: we will rejoice ourselves with loves. 19 For the man not in the house, he went in a way far off. 20 He took a bundle of silver in his hand; he will come to his house the day of the full moon. 21 With much of her talking she caused him to turn aside; with the smoothness of her lips she will thrust him away. 22 He went after her suddenly as the ox will go to the slaughter, and as the fetter for the correction of the foolish. 23 Till an arrow shall cleave his liver; as a bird hastening to the snare, and not knowing that it is for his soul.
