Proverbs 7:15-26

¹⁵Therefore I went out into thy meeting, and I desired to see thee; and I have found thee.

¹⁶I have made my bed with cords, I have arrayed it with tapets painted or with painted tapets of Egypt;

¹⁷I have besprinkled my bed with myrrh, and aloes, and canel.

¹⁸Come thou, be we filled with touching of teats, and use we embracings that be coveted; till the day begin to be clear.

¹⁹For mine husband is not in his house; he is gone a full long way.

²⁰He took with him a bag of money; he shall turn again into his house in the day of the full moon.

²¹She bound him with many words; and she drew forth him with flatterings of lips.

²²Anon he as an ox led to slain sacrifice pursueth or followeth her, and as a jolly lamb and unknowing; and the fool knoweth not, that he is drawn to bonds,

²³till an arrow pierce his maw. As if a bird hasteth to the snare; and knoweth not, that it is done of the peril of his life.

²⁴Now therefore, my son, hear thou me; and perceive the words of my mouth.

²⁵Lest thy soul be drawn away in the ways of her; neither be thou deceived in the paths of her.

²⁶For she hath cast down many wounded men; and all the strongest men were slain of her.
