14. “I have peace offerings with me;Today I have paid my vows.
15. So I came out to meet you,Diligently to seek your face,And I have found you.
16. I have spread my bed with tapestry,Colored coverings of Egyptian linen.
17. I have perfumed my bedWith myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
18. Come, let us take our fill of love until morning;Let us delight ourselves with love.
19. For my husband is not at home;He has gone on a long journey;
20. He has taken a bag of money with him,And will come home on the appointed day.”
21. With her enticing speech she caused him to yield,With her flattering lips she seduced him.
22. Immediately he went after her, as an ox goes to the slaughter,Or as a fool to the correction of the stocks,
