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,^(A)
8 passing along the street near her corner,
    taking the road to her house^(B)
9 in the twilight, in the evening,
    at the time of night and darkness.^(C)

¹⁰ Then a woman comes toward him
    decked out like a prostitute, with hidden intent.

²¹ With much seductive speech she persuades him;
    with her smooth talk she compels him.^(A)
