Proverbs 7:9-19

9 in the evening after it was dark.
10 And then she met him; she was dressed like a prostitute and was making plans.
11 She was a bold and shameless woman who always walked the streets
12 or stood waiting at a corner, sometimes in the streets, sometimes in the marketplace.
13 She threw her arms around the young man, kissed him, looked him straight in the eye, and said,
14 "I made my offerings today and have the meat from the sacrifices.
15 So I came out looking for you. I wanted to find you, and here you are!
16 I've covered my bed with sheets of colored linen from Egypt.
17 I've perfumed it with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
18 Come on! Let's make love all night long. We'll be happy in each other's arms.
19 My husband isn't at home. He's on a long trip.
