Proverbs 7:5-12

1. 5 That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger which flattereth with her words.

2. 6 For at the window of my house I looked through my casement,

3. 7 And beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding,

4. 8 Passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house,

5. 9 In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night:

6. 10 And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart.

7. 11 (She is loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house:

8. 12 Now is she without, now in the streets, and lieth in wait at every corner.)
