18 Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning; Let us solace ourselves with loves. 19 For my husband is not at home, He is gone a long journey; 20 He hath taken the bag of money with him; He will come home at the full moon.' 21 With her much fair speech she causeth him to yield, With the blandishment of her lips she enticeth him away. 22 He goeth after her straightway, As an ox that goeth to the slaughter, Or as one in fetters to the correction of the fool; 23 Till an arrow strike through his liver; As a bird hasteneth to the snare-- And knoweth not that it is at the cost of his life. Proverbs 7:18-23, JPS Tanakh 1917. Public domain.
