Context of Proverbs 7:10
8Passing through the street near her corner; And he went the way to her house, 9In the twilight, in the evening of the day, In the middle of the night and in the darkness. And, behold, there met him a woman With the attire of a harlot, and wily of heart. 11(She is clamorous and wilful; Her feet abide not in her house: 12Now she is in the streets, now in the broad places, And lieth in wait at every corner.)
