Proverbs 7:16-20

16 I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with carved works, with fine linen of Egypt.
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.
 
Now the story continues with her describing the bed to show that there is wealth in this house because of the fine linen and the spices for an awesome aroma. This woman had planned this night before she ever knew who would be coming down the street. This is a lifestyle for her, she was planning ahead of time to sin.This is why we need the wisdom and knowledge of God to know how to resist the the temptations of the world. We have already seen how bold she is by kissing him and now she outright ask spend the night with her. She puts the final nail in coffin when she assures him they have nothing to worry about because her husband has left with a large amount of money and will not be back for several days at an appointed time. May I say this is just how Satan does us, paints the prettiest picture and assures us no one will ever know when we accept the sin he has placed in front of us. No one may know, but God will. Next the conclusion of this saga.
