Proverbs 7:10
Compare all
8 Passing along the street near her corner;
And he took the path to her house
9 aIn the twilight, in the evening,
In the black and dark night. 
10 And there a woman met him,
With the attire of a harlot, and a crafty heart.
11 aShe was loud and rebellious,
bHer feet would not stay at home. 
12 At times she was outside, at times in the open square,
Lurking at every corner.
13 So she caught him and kissed him;
With an1 impudent face she said to him: 
14 “I have peace offerings with me;
Today I have paid my vows.
15 So I came out to meet you,
Diligently to seek your face,
And I have found you.
16 I have spread my bed with tapestry,
Colored coverings of aEgyptian linen. 
17 I have perfumed my bed
With myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
18 Come, let us take our fill of love until morning;
Let us delight ourselves with love.
19 For1 my husband is not at home;
He has gone on a long journey; 
20 He has taken a bag of money1 with him,
And will come home1 on the appointed day.” 
21 With aher enticing speech she caused him to yield,
bWith her flattering lips she1 seduced him. 
22 Immediately he went after her, as an ox goes to the slaughter,
Or1 as a fool to the correction of the2 stocks, 
23 Till an arrow struck his liver.
aAs a bird hastens to the snare,
He did not know it1 would cost his life.
