Selected passage

7:9In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night:

7:10And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart.

7:11(She is loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house:

7:12Now is she without, now in the streets, and lieth in wait at every corner.)

7:13So she caught him, and kissed him, and with an impudent face said unto him,

7:14I have peace offerings with me; this day have I payed my vows.

7:15Therefore came I forth to meet thee, diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee.

7:16I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with carved works, with fine linen of Egypt.

7:17I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.

7:20He hath taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at the day appointed.

7:21With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him.

7:22He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks;

7:23Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life.
