Proverbs 7:15-21
New King James Version
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 [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 (B)her enticing speech she caused him to yield,
(C)With her flattering lips she [e]seduced him.
