Proverbs 7:10-21 New English Translation (NET)

10. Suddenly a woman came out to meet him!She was dressed like a prostitute and with secret intent.

11. (She is loud and rebellious,she does not remain at home –

12. at one time outside, at another in the wide plazas,and by every corner she lies in wait.)

13. So she grabbed him and kissed him,and with a bold expression she said to him,

14. “I have fresh meat at home;today I have fulfilled my vows!

15. That is why I came out to meet you,to look for you, and I found you!

16. I have spread my bed with elegant coverings,with richly colored fabric from Egypt.

17. I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.

18. Come, let’s drink deeply of lovemaking until morning,let’s delight ourselves with sexual intercourse.

19. For my husband is not at home; he has gone on a journey of some distance.

20. He has taken a bag of money with him;he will not return until the end of the month.”

21. She persuaded him with persuasive words;with her smooth talk she compelled him.
