18 “Come, let us drink our fill of love until morning; Let us delight ourselves with caresses. 19 “For the man is not at home, He has gone on a long journey; 20 He has taken a bag of money with him, At full moon he will come home.” 21 With her many persuasions she entices him; With her flattering lips she seduces him. 22 Suddenly he follows her, As an ox goes to the slaughter, Or as one in fetters to the discipline of a fool, 23 Until an arrow pierces through his liver; As a bird hastens to the snare, So he does not know that it will cost him his life.
