9. at twilight, as the day was fading, as the dark of night set in.
10. Then out came a woman to meet him, dressed like a prostitute and with crafty intent.
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.
