Proverbs 7:20
He hath taken a bag of money with him, And will come home at the day appointed.
In context
17 I have perfumed my bed With myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. 18 Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning: Let us solace ourselves with loves.
19 For the goodman is not at home, He is gone a long journey: 20 He hath taken a bag of money with him, And will come home at the day appointed. 21 With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, With the flattering of her lips she forced him. 22 He goeth after her straightway, As an ox goeth to the slaughter, Or as a fool to the correction of the stocks; 23 Till a dart strike through his liver; As a bird hasteth to the snare, And knoweth not that it is for his life.
