6 For aat the window of my house
I looked out bthrough my lattice,
7 And I saw among the asimple,
And discerned among the sons
A young man blacking a heart of wisdom,
8 Passing through the street near aher corner;
And he strides along the way to bher house,
9 In the atwilight, in the evening of that day,
In the middle of the night, and in the thick darkness.
10 And behold, a woman comes to meet him,
aDressed as a harlot and cunning of heart.
11 She is aboisterous and rebellious,
Her bfeet do not dwell at home;
12 Stepping in the streets, stepping ain the squares,
And near every corner she blies in wait.
13 So she seizes him and kisses him
And with a abrazen face she says to him:
14 “The sacrifices of apeace offerings are with me;
Today I bpaid my vows.
15 Therefore I have come out to meet you,
To seek your face earnestly, and I have found you.
16 I have spread my couch with acoverings,
With colored blinens of Egypt.
17 I have sprinkled my bed
With amyrrh, aloes, and bcinnamon.
18 Come, then, let us drink our fill as lovers until morning;
Let us delight ourselves with the pleasures of love.
19 For my husband is not at home,
He has gone on a journey far away;
20 He took a abag of silver in his hand,
On the day of the full moon he will come home.”
21 With her abundant persuasions she entices him;
With her aflattering lips she drives him to herself.
