9“If my heart has been enticed by a woman,

or if I have lurked at my neighbor’s door,

9¶“If my heart has been enticed by a woman,

Or I have lurked at my neighbor’s doorway,

9¶“If my heart has been enticed and I was made a fool by a woman,

Or if I have [covetously] lurked at my neighbor’s door [until his departure],

9If my heart has been enticed by my neighbor’s wife,

or I have lurked at his door,

9If my heart hath been enticed unto a woman,

And I have laid wait at my neighbor’s door;

9If mine heart hath bene deceiued by a woman, or if I haue layde wayte at the doore of my neighbour,

9“If my heart has been enticed to a woman,

and I have laid wait at my neighbor’s door,

9“Suppose my heart has been tempted by a woman.

Or suppose I’ve prowled around my neighbor’s home.

9I have not wanted to love any woman

except my wife.

I have not hidden outside my friend's house

to wait for his wife to be alone.

9If my heart has been enticed by a woman, || And I laid wait by the opening of my neighbor,
