6 At the window of my house

I looked down through the lattice.

7 I saw among the simple,

I noticed among the young men,

a youth who had no sense.

8 He was going down the street near her corner,

walking along in the direction of her house

9 at twilight, as the day was fading,

as the dark of night set in.

10 Then out came a woman to meet him,

dressed like a prostitute and with crafty intent.

6 For at the window of my house

I have looked out through my lattice,

7 and I have seen among the simple,

I have perceived among the youths,

a young man lacking sense,

8 passing along the street near her corner,

taking the road to her house

9 in the twilight, in the evening,

at the time of night and darkness.

10 And behold, the woman meets him,

dressed as a prostitute, wily of heart.

6 For at the window of my house I looked through my casement, 7 And beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, A young man void of understanding, 8 Passing through the street near her corner; And he went the way to her house, 9 In the twilight, in the evening, In the black and dark night: 10 And, behold, there met him a woman With the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart.

6 While I was at the window of my house,

looking through the curtain,

7 I saw some naive young men,

and one in particular who lacked common sense.

8 He was crossing the street near the house of an immoral woman,

strolling down the path by her house.

9 It was at twilight, in the evening,

as deep darkness fell.

10 The woman approached him,

seductively dressed and sly of heart.

6 For at the window of my house

I looked through my lattice,

7 And saw among the simple,

I perceived among the youths,

A young man devoid of understanding,

8 Passing along the street near her corner;

And he took the path to her house

9 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.

6 Once while I was at the window of my house

I looked out through the shutters

7 and saw some foolish, young men.

I noticed one of them had no wisdom.

8 He was walking down the street near the corner

on the road leading to her house.

9 It was the twilight of the evening;

the darkness of the night was just beginning.

10 Then the woman approached him,

dressed like a prostitute

and planning to trick him.

6 For at the window of my house

I looked forth through my lattice;

7 And I beheld among the simple ones,

I discerned among the youths,

A young man void of understanding,

8 Passing through the street near her corner;

And he went the way to her house,

9 In the twilight, in the evening of the day,

In the middle of the night and in the darkness.

10 And, behold, there met him a woman

With the attire of a harlot, and wily of heart.

6 For at the window of my house, I looked forth through my lattice, 7 and I beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the sons, a young man void of understanding, 8 passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house, 9 in the twilight, in the evening of the day, in the blackness of night and the darkness. 10 And behold, there met him a woman in the attire of a harlot, and subtle of heart.

6 From a window in my house I looked through my screen. 

7 I was looking at gullible people 

when I saw a young man without much sense among youths 

8 He was crossing a street near her corner 

and walking toward her house 

9 in the twilight, 

in the evening, 

in the dark hours of the night. 

10 A woman with an ulterior motive meets him. 

She is dressed as a prostitute. 

6 At the window of my house

I looked through my lattice.

7 I saw among the inexperienced,

I noticed among the youths,

a young man lacking sense.

8 Crossing the street near her corner,

he strolled down the road to her house

9 at twilight, in the evening,

in the dark of the night.

10 A woman came to meet him

dressed like a prostitute,

having a hidden agenda.

6 For at the window of my house

I looked out through my lattice,

7 and I saw among the simple ones,

I observed among the youths,

a young man without sense,

8 passing along the street near her corner,

taking the road to her house

9 in the twilight, in the evening,

at the time of night and darkness.

10 Then a woman comes toward him,

decked out like a prostitute, wily of heart.

6 For at the window of my house,

through my lattice, I looked down.

7 And I saw among the simple,

I observed among the youth,

a young man lacking sense,

8 passing on the street at her corner,

and he takes the road to her house,

9 at twilight, at the day’s evening,

in the midst of night and the darkness.

10 Then behold! A woman comes to meet him

with the garment of a prostitute and a secret heart.

6 I stood at the window of my house.

I looked out through it.

7 Among those who were childish

I saw a young man who had no sense.

8 He went down the street near that sinful woman’s corner.

He walked toward her house.

9 The sun had gone down. Day was fading.

The darkness of night was falling.

10 A woman came out to meet him.

She was dressed like a prostitute and had a clever plan.
