Proverbs 7:18-22
New King James Version
18 Come, let us take our fill of love until morning;

19 For [a]my husband is not at home;
He has gone on a long journey;
20 He has taken a bag of money [b]with him,
And will come home [c]on the appointed day.”
21 [d]With (A)her enticing speech she caused him to yield,
(B)With her flattering lips she [e]seduced him.
22 Immediately he went after her, as an ox goes to the slaughter,
Or [f]as a fool to the correction of the [g]stocks,
