18 Come, let's drink deeply of lovemaking until morning, let's delight ourselves with sexual intercourse. 19 For my husband is not at home; he has gone on a journey of some distance. 20 He has taken a bag of money with him; he will not return until the end of the month.| 21 She persuaded him with persuasive words; with her smooth talk she compelled him. 22 Suddenly he went after her like an ox that goes to the slaughter, like a stag prancing into a trapper's snare 23 till an arrow pierces his liver--like a bird hurrying into a trap, and he does not know that it will cost him his life.
