Proverbs 7:13-15

"She seizes him and kisses him, and with impudent face she says to him: "I had to offer sacrifices, and today I have paid my vows; so now I have come out to meet you, to seek you eagerly, and I have found you!" (Proverbs 7:13-15 NASB). Once the mind is caught, the body soon follows (cf. Proverbs 7:5-12, James 1:13-15). She seizes him and kisses him. This would have been unheard of in this culture—a brazen and shameless act. Her lack of shame is further seen in the double life she lives. She has offered peace offerings (which are designed to increase fellowship between God and man), but she cares nothing about the ways of God. She is just like a wolf in sheep's clothing. She has the public appearance of a religious woman, but this is not her reality. Religion is something she has to do, but what she enjoys is seducing men. Her conscience has become so calloused she can immediately plan and seek to sin after communing with God (cf. Ephesians 4:19). If he doesn't change his ways, this is the future of the young man Solomon is observing. He will become just like her living the life of a shameless hypocrite
