Proverbs 7:11-22 New International Version (NIV)

11. (She is unruly and defiant, her feet never stay at home;

12. now in the street, now in the squares, at every corner she lurks.)

13. She took hold of him and kissed him and with a brazen face she said:

14. “Today I fulfilled my vows, and I have food from my fellowship offering at home.

15. So I came out to meet you; I looked for you and have found you!

16. I have covered my bed with colored linens from Egypt.

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

18. Come, let’s drink deeply of love till morning; let’s enjoy ourselves with love!

19. My husband is not at home; he has gone on a long journey.

20. He took his purse filled with money and will not be home till full moon.”

21. With persuasive words she led him astray; she seduced him with her smooth talk.

22. All at once he followed her like an ox going to the slaughter, like a deer stepping into a noose
