Proverbs 7:3-9 Amplified Bible (AMP)

3. Bind them on your fingers; write them on the tablet of your heart.

4. Say to skillful and godly Wisdom, You are my sister, and regard understanding or insight as your intimate friend–

5. That they may keep you from the loose woman, from the adventuress who flatters with and makes smooth her words.

6. For at the window of my house I looked out through my lattice.

7. And among the simple (empty-headed and emptyhearted) ones, I perceived among the youths a young man void of good sense,

8. Sauntering through the street near the [loose woman's] corner; and he went the way to her house

9. In the twilight, in the evening; night black and dense was falling [over the young man's life].
