Proverbs 7:8-16

⁸that passeth by the streets, beside the corner, (or who passeth along the street, beside the corner); and he goeth nigh the way of her house,

⁹in dark time, when the day draweth to night, in the darkness and mist in the night.

¹⁰And lo! a woman, made ready with (the) ornament of an whore to deceive souls, meeteth him,

¹¹and she is a jangler, and going about, and unpatient of rest, and may not stand in the house with her feet; (and she is a gossip, who goeth about restlessly, yea, who cannot stand still in her own house;)

¹²and now withoutforth, now in the streets, now beside the corners, she ambusheth (him).

¹³And she taketh (hold of), and kisseth the young man; and flattereth (him) with wooing cheer, that is, unrestful (ly), and without shame, and saith,

¹⁴I owed sacrifices for health (or I have paid my offerings for my deliverance); today I have yielded my vows.

¹⁵Therefore I went out into thy meeting, and I desired to see thee; and I have found thee.

¹⁶I have made (ready) my bed with cords, I have arrayed it with tapets painted of Egypt; (I have prepared my bed, yea, I have arrayed it with coloured tapestries from Egypt;)
