Proverbs 7:13-27
New King James Version
13 So she caught him and kissed him;
With an [a]impudent face she said to him:
14 “I have peace offerings with me;
Today I have paid my vows.
15 So I came out to meet you,
Diligently to seek your face,
And I have found you.
16 I have spread my bed with tapestry,
Colored coverings of (A)Egyptian linen.
17 I have perfumed my bed
With myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
18 Come, let us take our fill of love until morning;
Let us delight ourselves with love.
19 For [b]my husband is not at home;
He has gone on a long journey;
20 He has taken a bag of money [c]with him,
And will come home [d]on the appointed day.”
21 [e]With (B)her enticing speech she caused him to yield,
(C)With her flattering lips she [f]seduced him.
22 Immediately he went after her, as an ox goes to the slaughter,
Or [g]as a fool to the correction of the [h]stocks,
23 Till an arrow struck his liver.
(D)As a bird hastens to the snare,
He did not know it [i]would cost his life.
24 Now therefore, listen to me, my children;
Pay attention to the words of my mouth:
25 Do not let your heart turn aside to her ways,
Do not stray into her paths;
26 For she has cast down many wounded,
And (E)all who were slain by her were strong men.
27 (F)Her house is the way to [j]hell,
Descending to the chambers of death.
