Proverbs 7:4-12 Young's Literal Translation Of The Holy Bible (YLT98)

4. Say to wisdom, `My sister Thou [art].' And cry to understanding, `Kinswoman!'

5. To preserve thee from a strange woman, From a stranger who hath made smooth her sayings.

6. For, at a window of my house, Through my casement I have looked out,

7. And I do see among the simple ones, I discern among the sons, A young man lacking understanding,

8. Passing on in the street, near her corner, And the way [to] her house he doth step,

9. In the twilight--in the evening of day, In the darkness of night and blackness.

10. And, lo, a woman to meet him--(A harlot's dress, and watchful of heart,

11. Noisy she [is], and stubborn, In her house her feet rest not.

12. Now in an out-place, now in broad places, And near every corner she lieth in wait) - -
