For my husband isn’t at home.
He has gone on a long journey.
For my husband isn’t at home.
He has gone on a long journey.
Proverbs 7:16–22
I have spread my couch with carpets of tapestry,
with striped cloths of the yarn of Egypt.
Come, let’s take our fill of loving until the morning.
Let’s solace ourselves with loving.
For my husband isn’t at home.
He has gone on a long journey.
He has taken a bag of money with him.
He will come home at the full moon.”
With persuasive words, she led him astray.
With the flattering of her lips, she seduced him.
He followed her immediately,
as an ox goes to the slaughter,
as a fool stepping into a noose.
