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.”
