Proverbs 7:14-22

¹⁴'Sacrifices of peace-offerings are by me, To-day I have completed my vows.

¹⁶With ornamental coverings I decked my couch, Carved works — cotton of Egypt.

¹⁷I sprinkled my bed — myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.

¹⁸Come, we are filled with loves till the morning, We delight ourselves in loves.

¹⁹For the man is not in his house, He hath gone on a long journey.

²⁰A bag of money he hath taken in his hand, At the day of the new moon he cometh to his house.'

²¹She turneth him aside with the abundance of her speech, With the flattery of her lips she forceth him.

²²He is going after her straightway, As an ox unto the slaughter he cometh, And as a fetter unto the chastisement of a fool,
