13 And she laid hold on him and kissed him; she has hardened her face and said to him: 14 “Sacrifices of peace offerings are by me; this day I have paid my vows; 15 upon thus I have come out to meet you, to earnestly seek your face, and I have found you! 16 With coverings I have spread my couch, with colored linen of Egypt. 17 I have sprinkled my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. 18 Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning; let us delight ourselves with loves! 19 For the husband is not in his house; he has gone far away on a road. 20 A bag of silver he has taken with him; on the day of the full moon he will enter his house.” 21 She turns him aside with the abundance of her speech; with the smoothness of her lips she compels him. 22 Going after her suddenly, he goes in like an ox to the slaughter, like a deer bounding into a trap, 23 until an arrow splits his liver, like the hurrying of a bird to the snare, and he did not know that it was for his soul!
