12. She walked the streets, always looking for someone to trap.
13. She grabbed the young man and kissed him. Without shame, she looked him in the eye and said,
14. “I offered a fellowship offering today. I gave what I promised to give,
15. and I still have plenty of food left. So I came out to find you, and here you are!
16. I have clean sheets on my bed—special ones from Egypt.
17. My bed smells wonderful with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
18. Come, let’s enjoy ourselves all night. We can make love until dawn.
19. My husband has gone on a business trip.
20. He took enough money for a long trip and won’t be home for two weeks.”
21. This is what the woman said to tempt the young man, and her smooth words tricked him.
22. He followed her, like a bull being led to the slaughter. He was like a deer walking into a trap,
23. where a hunter waits to shoot an arrow through its heart. The boy was like a bird flying into a net, never seeing the danger he was in.
