15. So I came looking for you,and here you are!
16. The sheets on my bedare bright-coloured clothfrom Egypt.
17. And I have covered itwith perfume made of myrrh,aloes, and cinnamon.
18. “Let's go thereand make love all night.
19. My husband is travelling,and he's far away.
20. He took a lot of money along,and he won't be back homebefore the middleof the month.”
21. And so, she tricked himwith all her sweet talkand her flattery.
22. Straight away he followed herlike an ox on the wayto be slaughtered,or like a fool on the wayto be punished
23. and killed with arrows.He was no more than a birdrushing into a trap,without knowingit would cost him his life.
24. My son, pay close attentionto what I have said.
25. Don't even think aboutthat kind of womanor let yourself be misledby someone like her.
26. Such a woman has causedthe downfall and destructionof a lot of men.
27. Her house is a one-way streetleading straight downto the world of the dead.
