Husbands, Wives and Adultery
Proverbs 7:7-10
7 And saw among the simple, I perceived
among the youths, A young man devoid of
understanding,
8 Passing along the street near her corner;
And he took the path to her house
9 In the twilight, in the evening, In the black
and dark night.
10 And there a woman met him, With the attire
of a harlot, and a crafty heart.
