12. One moment she is out on the street,the next she is at the curb,on the prowl at every corner.
13. She grabs him and kisses him and brazenly says to him,
14. “I have some sacrificial meat.Today I kept my vows.
15. That’s why I came to meet you.Eagerly, I looked for you,and I’ve found you.
16. I’ve made my bed,with colored sheets of Egyptian linen.
17. I’ve sprinkled my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
18. Come, let’s drink our fill of love until morning.Let’s enjoy making love,
19. because my husband’s not home.He has gone on a long trip.
20. He took lots of money with him.He won’t be home for a couple of weeks.”
21. With all her seductive charms, she persuades him.With her smooth lips, she makes him give in.
