Proverbs

¹²Now in the streets, now in the marketplaces, she sets her ambush at every corner. ¹³So she caught him and kissed him and with impudent face she said to him, ¹⁴Sacrifices of peace offerings were due from me; this day I paid my vows. ¹⁵So I came forth to meet you [that you might share with me the feast from my offering]; diligently I sought your face, and I have found you. ¹⁶I have spread my couch with rugs and cushions of tapestry, with striped sheets of fine linen of Egypt. ¹⁷I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. ¹⁸Come, let us take our fill of love until morning; let us console and delight ourselves with love.
