Chapter 7: More warnings against an evil woman.She is loud and
wayward,she lies in wait at every street corner,grabs a man
and kisses him,saying; Let us take our fill of love until
morning,for my husband is away. It is sad to see the word love
abused as it is here.To love is to will good to another for
the other's sake.In adultery neither is doing that,each one
just looks for sensory pleasure for self,and they are putting
each other into a state which could lead to death and even
eternal misery.

Then he follows her like an ox going to the slaughter,
like a bird going into a snare. The house of the adulteress is
the way to Sheol, to death if the husband happens to catch
them.
