18 Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning; let us delight ourselves with loves! 19 For the husband is not in his house; he has gone far away on a road. 20 A bag of silver he has taken with him; on the day of the full moon he will enter his house.” 21 She turns him aside with the abundance of her speech; with the smoothness of her lips she compels him. 22 Going after her suddenly, he goes in like an ox to the slaughter, like a deer bounding into a trap, 23 until an arrow splits his liver, like the hurrying of a bird to the snare, and he did not know that it was for his soul! 24 And now, sons, listen to me, and attend to the words of my mouth. 25 Do not let your heart turn aside to her ways, do not stray into her paths. 26 For many wounded ones she has made fall; and numerous are all her slain ones. 27 Her house is the way to Sheol, going down to the chambers of death.
