19. because my husband’s not home.He has gone on a long trip.
20. He took lots of money with him.He won’t be home for a couple of weeks.”
21. With all her seductive charms, she persuades him.With her smooth lips, she makes him give in.
22. He immediately follows herlike a steer on its way to be slaughtered,like a ram hobbling into captivity
23. until an arrow pierces his heart,like a bird darting into a trap.He does not realize that it will cost him his life.
