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.

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:

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. 

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.

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.

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.

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.

7 And I saw among the naive,

And discerned among the youths

A young man lacking sense,

8 Passing through the street near her corner;

And he takes the way to her house,

9 In the twilight, in the evening,

In the middle of the night and in the darkness.
