- At the window of my house I looked out through the lattice.
- I saw among the simple, I noticed among the young men, a youth who lacked judgment.
- He was going down the street near her corner, walking along in the direction of her house
- at twilight, as the day was fading, as the dark of night set in.
- Then out came a woman to meet him, dressed like a prostitute and with crafty intent.

- For at the window of my house I looked out through my lattice,
- And I saw among the naive, And discerned among the youths A young man lacking sense,
- Passing through the street near her corner; And he takes the way to her house,
- In the twilight, in the evening, In the middle of the night and in the darkness.
- And behold, a woman comes to meet him, Dressed as a harlot and cunning of heart.
