Context of Proverbs 7:11
9It was in the evening after it had become dark. 10Then the woman came out to meet him! She was wearing the clothes of a prostitute. She knew what she wanted to do. This was a woman who did not respect anyone. She was not ashamed of the bad things that she did. She never stayed at her home. 12Instead she would stand in the streets and in the market place. She would wait at the corners of the streets to find a man. 13Now she took hold of the young man and she kissed him. She looked into his eyes without any shame.
