Proverbs 7:19
Compare all
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. 
24 Now therefore, listen to me, my children;
Pay attention to the words of my mouth:
25 Do not let your heart turn aside to her ways,
Do not stray into her paths;
