Just then, a woman met him—

she’d been lying in wait for him, dressed to seduce him.

Brazen and brash she was,

restless and roaming, never at home,

Walking the streets, loitering in the mall,

hanging out at every corner in town.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

And behold, the woman meets him,

dressed as a prostitute, wily of heart.

She is loud and wayward;

her feet do not stay at home;

now in the street, now in the market,

and at every corner she lies in wait.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

Then out came a woman to meet him,

dressed like a prostitute and with crafty intent.

(She is unruly and defiant,

her feet never stay at home;

now in the street, now in the squares,

at every corner she lurks.)

CSBChristian Standard Bible

dressed like a prostitute,

having a hidden agenda.

She is loud and defiant;

her feet do not stay at home.

Now in the street, now in the squares,

she lurks at every corner.

NLTNew Living Translation

The woman approached him,

seductively dressed and sly of heart.

She was the brash, rebellious type,

never content to stay at home.

She is often in the streets and markets,

soliciting at every corner.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

Then behold! A woman comes to meet him

with the garment of a prostitute and a secret heart.

She is loud and stubborn;

her feet do not stay at her house.

Now in the street, now in the square,

at every corner she lies in wait.

KJV 1900King James Version

And, behold, there met him a woman

With the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart.

(She is loud and stubborn;

Her feet abide not in her house:

Now is she without, now in the streets,

And lieth in wait at every corner.)
