Proverbs

⁶For at the window of my house I looked out through my lattice. ⁷And among the simple (empty-headed and emptyhearted) ones, I perceived among the youths a young man void of good sense, ⁸Sauntering through the street near the [loose woman's] corner; and he went the way to her house ⁹In the twilight, in the evening; night black and dense was falling [over the young man's life]. ¹⁰And behold, there met him a woman, dressed as a harlot and sly and cunning of heart. ¹¹She is turbulent and willful; her feet stay not in her house; ¹²Now in the streets, now in the marketplaces, she sets her ambush at every corner.
