Proverbs 7:6-17 Young's Literal Translation Of The Holy Bible (YLT98)

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) - -

13. And she laid hold on him, and kissed him, She hath hardened her face, and saith to him,

14. `Sacrifices of peace-offerings [are] by me, To-day I have completed my vows.

15. Therefore I have come forth to meet thee, To seek earnestly thy face, and I find thee.

16. [With] ornamental coverings I decked my couch, Carved works--cotton of Egypt.

17. I sprinkled my bed--myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
