For (A)at the window of my house
I looked out (B)through my lattice,
And I saw among the (C)naive,
And discerned among the [a]youths
A young man (D)lacking [b]sense,
Passing through the street near (E)her corner;
And he walks along the way to (F)her house,
In the (G)twilight, in the [c]evening,
In the [d]middle of the night and the darkness.
10 And behold, a woman comes to meet him,
(H)Dressed as a prostitute and cunning of heart.
