A Story of Seduction

6At the window of my house I looked through my lattice.H2474H1004H8259H8227I saw among the inexperienced, I noticed among the youths, a young man lacking sense.H7200H6612H995H1121H5288H2638H38208Crossing the street near her corner, he strolled down the road to her houseH5674H7784H681H6434H6805H1870H10049at twilight, in the evening, in the dark of the night.H5399H3117H6153H380H653H391510A woman came to meet him, dressed like a prostitute, having a hidden agenda.H7125H802H7897H2181H5341H382011She is loud and defiant; her feet do not stay at home.H1993H5637H7272H7931H100412Now in the street, now in the squares, she lurks at every corner.H6471H2351H6471H7339H693H681H643813She grabs him and kisses him; she brazenly says to him,H2388H5401H5810H6440H55914"I've made fellowship offerings; today I've fulfilled my vows.H8002H2077H3117H7999H508815So I came out to meet you, to search for you, and I've found you.H3318H7125H7836H6440H467216I've spread coverings on my bed— richly colored linen from Egypt.H7234H6210H4765H2405H330H471417I've perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.H5130H4904H4753H174H707618Come, let's drink deeply of lovemaking until morning. Let's feast on each other's love!H3212H7301H1730H1242H5965H15919My husband isn't home; he went on a long journey.H376H1004H1980H7350H187020He took a bag of money with him and will come home at the time of the full moon."H3947H6872H3701H3027H935H1004H3117H367721She seduces him with her persistent pleading; she lures with her flattering talk.H7230H3948H5186H2506H8193H508022He follows her impulsively like an ox going to the slaughter, like a deer bounding toward a trapH1980H310H6597H7794H935H2874H191H4148H591423until an arrow pierces its liver, like a bird darting into a snare— he doesn't know it will cost him his life.H2671H6398H3516H6833H4116H6341H3045H531524Now, [my] sons, listen to me, and pay attention to the words of my mouth.H8085H1121H7181H561H631025Don't let your heart turn aside to her ways; don't stray onto her paths.H3820H7847H1870H8582H541026For she has brought many down to death; her victims are countless.H5307H7227H2491H6099H202627Her house is the road to Sheol, descending to the chambers of death.H1004H1870H7585H3381H2315H4194
