7:13 So she grabbed him and kissed him,
and with a bold expression
7:14 “I have
today I have fulfilled my vows!
7:15 That is why I came out to meet you,
to look for you,
7:16 I have spread my bed with elegant coverings,
with richly colored fabric
7:17 I have perfumed my bed
with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.

like a stag prancing into a trapper’s snare

like a bird hurrying into a trap,
and he does not know that it will cost him his life.

her heart is like a hunter’s net and her hands are like prison chains.
The man who pleases God escapes her,
but the sinner is captured by her.

16:31 When you built your chamber at the head of every street and put up your pavilion in every public square, you were not like a prostitute, because you scoffed at payment.
