"13She threw her arms around him and kissed him,
and with a brazen look she said,
14'I've just made my peace offerings
and fulfilled my vows.
15You're the one I was looking for!
I came out to find you, and here you are!
16My bed is spread with beautiful blankets,
with colored sheets of Egyptian linen.
17I've perfumed my bed
with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
18Come, let's drink our fill of love until morning.
Let's enjoy each other's caresses,
19for my husband is not home.
He's away on a long trip.
20He has taken a wallet full of money with him
and won't return until later this month.'
21So she seduced him with her pretty speech
and enticed him with her flattery.
22He followed her at once,
like an ox going to the slaughter.
He was like a stag caught in a trap,
23awaiting the arrow that would pierce its heart.
He was like a bird flying into a snare,
little knowing it would cost him his life." (Proverbs 7:13‑23 NLT)
"15Drink water from your own well—
share your love only with your wife.
16Why spill the water of your springs in the streets,
having sex with just anyone?
17You should reserve it for yourselves.
Never share it with strangers.
18Let your wife be a fountain of blessing for you.
Rejoice in the wife of your youth.
19She is a loving deer, a graceful doe.
Let her breasts satisfy you always.
May you always be captivated by her love." (Proverbs 5:15‑19 NLT)
