Proverbs 7:9-16 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

9. The sun had gone down. Day was fading. The darkness of night was falling.

10. A woman came out to meet him. She was dressed like a prostitute and had a clever plan.

11. She was a loud and pushy woman. She never stayed at home.

12. Sometimes in the streets, sometimes at other places, at every corner she would wait.

13. She took hold of the young man and kissed him. With a bold face she spoke to him.

14. She said, "At home I have meat left over from my offerings. Today I offered what I had promised I would.

15. So I came out to meet you. I looked for you. And I have found you!

16. I have covered my bed with colored sheets from Egypt.
