SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 7:1–27: Tenth lesson: Here is an example of a young man who was seduced by a married woman

This lesson is another warning to avoid adultery. It begins with an appeal that the son pay attention to his father’s advice. This advice will protect him from being seduced by an adulteress (7:1–5). The main part of the lesson has the form of a first person narrative. The narrator tells how he observed a young man being seduced (7:6–23). First the story focuses on the young man (7:6–9), then it describes the adulteress (7:10–12) and her enticing words (7:13–20). Finally it tells how the young man yielded to the temptation (7:21–23). The lesson concludes with an appeal that the son follow his father’s advice rather than be seduced by the adulteress, because involvement with her will lead to death (7:24–27).

Some other headings for this section are:

Warning Against the Adulteress (NIV)

The story about an adulteress who tempted a young man

Paragraph 7:13–20

This paragraph tells how the woman seduced the young man. After first kissing him (7:13), she then used words in order to seduce him. She told about the favorable circumstances (7:14), used flattery (7:15), appealed to his anticipation of physical pleasure (7:16–18), and reassured him of her husband’s absence (7:19–20).

7:17

I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, with aloes, and with cinnamon.

I have sprinkled/put myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon in my bed so that it smells good/fragrant.
And I have made my bed smell sweet by putting in it imported perfumes called myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.

I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, with aloes, and with cinnamon: The word that the BSB translates as perfumed is literally “sprinkled” (NJB). The word perfumed expresses the function of the three sweet-smelling spices listed here. All of these were imported from other countries and were very expensive.

In languages that do not have words for myrrh, aloes, or cinnamon, you may:

Use loan words along with a general term. For example:
I have made my bed smell sweet with perfumes called myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
Use a more general description. For example:
I have used expensive perfumes so that my bed will smell good.

uW Translation Notes:

myrrh aloes and,cinnamon

This mixture of myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon consisted of pleasant-smelling substances that were mixed together and used like perfume. If your readers would not be familiar with these substances, you could use a general expression. Alternate translation: “with pleasant-smelling substances”
