| 8 | Passing in the street near her corner; and he will step the way of her house, | passing along the street near her corner, taking the road to her house | He was going down the street near her corner, walking along in the direction of her house | |
| 9 | In the twilight, in the evening of the day, in the middle of the night, in the thick darkness: | in the twilight, in the evening, at the time of night and darkness. | at twilight, as the day was fading, as the dark of night set in. | |
| 10 | And behold, a woman to his meeting, the attire of a harlot, and hidden of heart. | And behold, the woman meets him, dressed as a prostitute, wily of heart. | Then out came a woman to meet him, dressed like a prostitute and with crafty intent. | |
| 11 | She being noisy and perverse; her feet will not dwell in her house: | She is loud and wayward; her feet do not stay at home; | (She is unruly and defiant, her feet never stay at home; | |
| 12 | One time without, one time in the broad ways; and she will lie in wait near every corner. | now in the street, now in the market, and at every corner she lies in wait. | now in the street, now in the squares, at every corner she lurks.) | |
