11(She is noisy and ungovernable; in her house her feet never rest;
12At one time she is in the street, at another in the open places, and near every corner doth she lurk,)
13And she caught hold of him, and kissed him, and with an impudent face she said to him,
14“I had bound myself to bring peace-offerings; this day have I paid my vows:
15Therefore am I come forth to meet thee, to seek thy presence diligently, and I have found thee.
16With tapestry coverings have I decked my bed, with embroidered coverlids of the fine linen of Egypt.
17I have sprinkled my couch with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
18Come, let us indulge in love until the morning: let us delight ourselves with dalliances.
19For the man is not in his house, he is gone on a journey a great way off:
20The bag of money hath he taken with him, by the day of the new-moon festival only will he come home.”
21She seduced him by the abundance of her reasoning: by the flattery of her lips she misguided him.
