Proverbs 7:10-16 Common English Bible (CEB)

10. All of a sudden a woman approaches him,dressed like a prostitute and with a cunning mind.

11. She is noisy and defiant;her feet don’t stay long in her own house.

12. She has one foot in the street, one foot in the public square.She lies in wait at every corner.

13. She grabs him and kisses him.Her face is brazen as she speaks to him:

14. "I’ve made a sacrifice of well-being;today I fulfilled my solemn promises.

15. So I’ve come out to meet you,seeking you, and I have found you.

16. I’ve spread my bed with luxurious covers,with colored linens from Egypt.
