Mishle 7:7-17 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

7. And beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the banim, a na'ar (young man) devoid of lev [of understanding, sense],

8. Passing through the street near her corner; and he went on the derech to her bais,

9. In the twilight, at erev, in the black and dark lailah;

10. And, hinei, there met him an isha with the attire of a zonah, and crafty of lev.

11. She is loud and soreret (rebellious, defiant); her raglayim abide not in her bais;

12. Now is she without, now in the rechovot, and lurketh in wait at every pinnah (corner)--

13. So she caught hold of him, and kissed him, and with a brazen ponem said unto him,

14. I have zivkhei shelamim vowed; this yom have I payed my neder.

15. Al ken (therefore) came I forth to meet thee, diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee.

16. I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with a bedspread of fine linen of Mitzrayim.

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