4 Say to wisdom, “You are my sister,” And call understanding a close friend,
5 To guard you against the strange woman, Against the foreigner who flatters with her words.
6 For at the window of my house I looked through my lattice,
7 And I saw among the simple, I perceived among the youths, A young man lacking heart,
8 Passing through the street near her corner; And he went the way to her house
9 In the twilight, in the evening, In the black and dark night.
10 And look, a woman met him, Dressed like a whore, With a hidden heart.
