Proverbs 7:18-25

¹⁸Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning; let us solace ourselves with loves.

¹⁹For my husband is not at home, he is gone a long journey;

²⁰He hath taken the bag of money with him; he will come home at the full moon.'

²¹With her much fair speech she causeth him to yield, with the blandishment of her lips she enticeth him away.

²²He goeth after her straightway, as an ox that goeth to the slaughter, or as one in fetters to the correction of the fool;

²³Till an arrow strike through his liver; as a bird hasteneth to the snare — and knoweth not that it is at the cost of his life.

²⁴Now therefore, O ye children, hearken unto me, and attend to the words of my mouth.

²⁵Let not thy heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths.
