4. Say to wisdom, “You are my sister,”And call understanding your nearest kin,
5. That they may keep you from the immoral woman,From the seductress who flatters with her words.
6. For at the window of my houseI 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.
