15 That’s why I came to meet you.Eagerly, I looked for you,and I’ve found you.
16 I’ve made my bed,with colored sheets of Egyptian linen.
17 I’ve sprinkled my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
18 Come, let’s drink our fill of love until morning.Let’s enjoy making love,
19 because my husband’s not home.He has gone on a long trip.
20 He took lots of money with him.He won’t be home for a couple of weeks.”
21 With all her seductive charms, she persuades him.With her smooth lips, she makes him give in.
