Proverbs

¹⁵and I still have plenty of food left. So I came out to find you, and here you are! ¹⁶I have clean sheets on my bed—special ones from Egypt. ¹⁷My bed smells wonderful with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. ¹⁸Come, let’s enjoy ourselves all night. We can make love until dawn. ¹⁹My husband has gone on a business trip. ²⁰He took enough money for a long trip and won’t be home for two weeks.” ²¹This is what the woman said to tempt the young man, and her smooth words tricked him.
