Proverbs 7:6-20
I stood at the window of my house.
I looked down through it.
Among those who were childish
I saw a young man who had no sense.
He went down the street near that sinful woman’s corner.
He walked toward her house.
The sun had gone down, and the day was fading.
The darkness of night was falling.
A woman came out to meet him.
She was dressed like a prostitute and had a clever plan.
She was wild and pushy.
She never stayed at home.
Sometimes she’s in the streets. Sometimes she’s at other places.
At every corner she waits.
She took hold of the young man and kissed him.
With a bold face she spoke to him. She said,
“Today I offered what I promised I would.
At home I have meat left over from my fellowship offering.
So I came out to meet you.
I looked for you and have found you!
I have covered my bed
with colored sheets from Egypt.
I’ve perfumed my bed with spices.
I used myrrh, aloes and cinnamon.
Come, let’s drink our fill of love until morning.
Let’s enjoy ourselves by sleeping together!
My husband isn’t home.
He’s gone on a long journey.
He took his bag full of money.
He won’t be home for several days.”
