Proverbs 7:7-15
New King James Version
7 And saw among the simple,
I perceived among the [a]youths,
A young man (A)devoid[b] of understanding,
8 Passing along the street near her corner;
And he took the path to her house
9 (B)In the twilight, in the evening,
In the black and dark night.
10 And there a woman met him,
With the attire of a harlot, and a crafty heart.
11 (C)She was loud and rebellious,
(D)Her feet would not stay at home.
12 At times she was outside, at times in the open square,
Lurking at every corner.
13 So she caught him and kissed him;
With an [c]impudent face she said to him:
14 “I have peace offerings with me;
Today I have paid my vows.
15 So I came out to meet you,
Diligently to seek your face,
And I have found you.
