Proverbs 7:13

¹¹ She is loud and defiant; her feet do not remain at home.

¹² Now in the street, now in the squares, she lurks at every corner.

She seizes him and kisses him; she brazenly says to him:

¹⁴ “I have made my peace offerings; today I have paid my vows.

¹⁵ So I came out to meet you; I sought you, and I have found you.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
