Proverbs 7:6
|

|

Proverbs 7:7

Proverbs 7:8

Passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house,
|
|
Proverbs 7:9
|
In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night:
|
|
Proverbs 7:10
|
And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart.
