Verse 12 is found in chapter 7 of Proverbs. The young man lacking understanding is observed as he approaches the house of an adulterous woman. She uses religious language, promises of pleasure, and apparent security to conceal the danger. The young man is finally compared to an animal led to slaughter, a deliberately strong image showing that temptation can present sin as an opportunity while leading the individual toward his own destruction.

Jetzt ist sie draußen, jetzt auf der Gasse, und lauert an allen Ecken.
Unas veces de fuera, o bien por las plazas, Acechando por todas las esquinas.
Tantôt dans la rue, tantôt sur les places, Et près de tous les angles, elle était aux aguets.
Essendo ora fuori, or per le piazze; E stando agli agguati presso ad ogni cantone.
Foi para fora, depois pelas ruas, e ia espreitando por todos os cantos;
有時在街市,有時在廣場, 或在各巷口等候。
