Proverbs 7:7 - Proverbs 7:17

7 And beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths a young man void of understanding,

8 Passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house.

9 In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night;

10 And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of a harlot, and subtile of heart.

11 (She is loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house;

12 Now is she without, now in the streets, and lieth in wait at every corner.)

13 So she caught him, and kissed him, and with an impudent face said unto him,

14 I have peace offerings with me; this day have I paid my vows.

15 Therefore came I forth to meet thee, diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee.

16 I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with carved works, with fine linen of Egypt.

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