Proverbs 7 — Context

She is boisterous and rebellious, Her feet do not remain at home;

She is now in the streets, now in the squares, And lurks by every corner.

So she seizes him and kisses him And with a brazen face she says to him:

"I was due to offer peace offerings; Today I have paid my vows.

"Therefore I have come out to meet you, To seek your presence earnestly, and I have found you.

"I have spread my couch with coverings, With colored linens of Egypt.

"I have sprinkled my bed With myrrh, aloes and cinnamon.
