8. He was walking through the marketplace and came to the corner where a certain woman lived. He then turned up the road that goes by her house.

9. The day was ending. The sun had set, and it was almost dark.

10. Suddenly, there she was in front of him, dressed like a prostitute. She had plans for him.

11. She was a wild and rebellious woman who would not stay at home.

12. She walked the streets, always looking for someone to trap.

13. She grabbed the young man and kissed him. Without shame, she looked him in the eye and said,

14. “I offered a fellowship offering today. I gave what I promised to give,

15. and I still have plenty of food left. So I came out to find you, and here you are!

16. I have clean sheets on my bed—special ones from Egypt.
