18 Come, let’s make love until morning.Let’s enjoy each other’s love.
19 My husband is not home;he has gone on a long trip.
20 He took a lot of money with himand won’t be home for weeks.”
21 By her clever words she made him give in;by her pleasing words she led him into doing wrong.
22 All at once he followed her,like an ox led to the butcher,like a deer caught in a trap
23 and shot through the liver with an arrow.Like a bird caught in a trap,he didn’t know what he did would kill him.
24 Now, my sons, listen to me;pay attention to what I say.
