10 Et voici, il fut abordé par une femme Ayant la mise d’une prostituée et la ruse dans le cœur.

11 Elle était bruyante et rétive; Ses pieds ne restaient point dans sa maison;

12 Tantôt dans la rue, tantôt sur les places, Et près de tous les angles, elle était aux aguets.

13 Elle le saisit et l’embrassa, Et d’un air effronté lui dit:

14 Je devais un sacrifice d’actions de grâces, Aujourd’hui j’ai accompli mes vœux.
