And behold, the woman meets him, dressed as a prostitute, wily of heart.She is loud and wayward; her feet do not stay at home;now in the street, now in the market, and at every corner she lies in wait.She seizes him and kisses him, and with bold face she says to him,“ I had to offer sacrifices, and today I have paid my vows;so now I have come out to meet you, to seek you eagerly, and I have found you.I have spread my couch with coverings, colored linens from Egyptian linen;I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.Come, let us take our fill of love till morning; let us delight ourselves with love.For my husband is not at home; he has gone on a long journey;he took a bag of money with him; at full moon he will come home.”With much seductive speech she persuades him; with her smooth talk she compels him.
