Proverbs 7:5-7

New Catholic Bible

⁵ so that they may keep you from another’s wife,
    from the adulteress with her seductive words.
⁶ While standing at the window of my house
    I looked out through my lattice,
⁷ and as I glanced at the immature youths,
    I observed among the simple ones^[a]
    a lad with no sense.
