A Story of Seduction

6At the window of my house I looked through my lattice.H2474H1004H8259H822 7I saw among the inexperienced, I noticed among the youths, a young man lacking sense.H7200H6612H995H1121H5288H2638H3820 8Crossing the street near her corner, he strolled down the road to her houseH5674H7784H681H6434H6805H1870H1004 9at twilight, in the evening, in the dark of the night.H5399H3117H6153H380H653H3915 10A woman came to meet him, dressed like a prostitute, having a hidden agenda.H7125H802H7897H2181H5341H3820 11She is loud and defiant; her feet do not stay at home.H1993H5637H7272H7931H1004 12Now in the street, now in the squares, she lurks at every corner.H6471H2351H6471H7339H693H681H6438 13She grabs him and kisses him; she brazenly says to him,H2388H5401H5810H6440H559 14"I've made fellowship offerings; today I've fulfilled my vows.H8002H2077H3117H7999H5088 15So I came out to meet you, to search for you, and I've found you.H3318H7125H7836H6440H4672 16I've spread coverings on my bed— richly colored linen from Egypt.H7234H6210H4765H2405H330H4714 17I've perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.H5130H4904H4753H174H7076 18Come, let's drink deeply of lovemaking until morning. Let's feast on each other's love!H3212H7301H1730H1242H5965H159 19My husband isn't home; he went on a long journey.H376H1004H1980H7350H1870 20He took a bag of money with him and will come home at the time of the full moon."H3947H6872H3701H3027H935H1004H3117H3677 21She seduces him with her persistent pleading; she lures with her flattering talk.H7230H3948H5186H2506H8193H5080 22He follows her impulsively like an ox going to the slaughter, like a deer bounding toward a trapH1980H310H6597H7794H935H2874H191H4148H5914 23until an arrow pierces its liver, like a bird darting into a snare— he doesn't know it will cost him his life.H2671H6398H3516H6833H4116H6341H3045H5315 24Now, [my] sons, listen to me, and pay attention to the words of my mouth.H8085H1121H7181H561H6310 25Don't let your heart turn aside to her ways; don't stray onto her paths.H3820H7847H1870H8582H5410 26For she has brought many down to death; her victims are countless.H5307H7227H2491H6099H2026 27Her house is the road to Sheol, descending to the chambers of death.H1004H1870H7585H3381H2315H4194
