Proverbs 7:13-27
English Standard Version
13 She seizes him and kisses him,
and with (A)bold face she says to him,
14 “I had to (B)offer sacrifices,[a]
and today I have (C)paid my vows;
15 so now I have come out to meet you,
to seek you eagerly, and I have found you.
16 I have spread my couch with (D)coverings,
colored linens from (E)Egyptian linen;
17 I have perfumed my bed with (F)myrrh,
aloes, and (G)cinnamon.
18 Come, let us take our fill of love till morning;
let us delight ourselves with love.
19 For (H)my husband is not at home;
he has gone on a long journey;
20 he took a bag of money with him;
at full moon he will come home.”
21 With much seductive speech she persuades him;
with (I)her smooth talk she compels him.
22 All at once he follows her,
as an ox goes to the slaughter,
or as a stag is caught fast[b]
23 till an arrow pierces its liver;
as (J)a bird rushes into a snare;
he does not know that it will cost him his life.
24 And (K)now, O sons, listen to me,
and be attentive to the words of my mouth.
25 Let not your heart turn aside to her ways;
do not stray into her paths,
26 for many a victim has she laid low,
and all her slain are (L)a mighty throng.
27 Her house is (M)the way to Sheol,
going down to the chambers of death.
