Proverbs 7:15-21 English Standard Version (ESV)

15. so now I have come out to meet you,to seek you eagerly, and I have found you.

16. I have spread my couch with coverings,colored linens from Egyptian linen;

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

18. Come, let us take our fill of love till morning;let us delight ourselves with love.

19. For my husband is not at home;he has gone on a long journey;

20. he took a bag of money with him;at full moon he will come home.”

21. With much seductive speech she persuades him;with her smooth talk she compels him.
