משלי, פרק ז׳, פסוק י״ב

A restless predator stalks the public spaces of the city, constantly seeking her next victim. The seductive woman operates as a relentless hunter, wandering everywhere to find adventure and trap the unsuspecting in her net.

She moves constantly between different areas of the city. Her hunting grounds range from the quiet spaces just behind houses [מלבי״ם] to the bustling public streets [מלבי״ם] and open city squares [ביאור שטיינזלץ]. However, she does not merely walk out in the open to chase after lovers [מצודת דוד]. Instead, she carefully positions herself in ambush [מצודת דוד], hiding near every corner and angle of the streets [רלב״ג]. From these concealed spots, she lies in wait to hunt people who are simply walking along the edges of the roads [מלבי״ם].

Her ultimate goal is to suddenly present herself to passersby, causing them to stumble [אמרי דעת]. She waits with calculated patience for someone to pass her specific corner [מצודת דוד], refusing to give up until she successfully captures a senseless fool [אבן עזרא] or a willing adulterer in her snare [רלב״ג]. Even though her actions are brazen and entirely visible to anyone watching, she continues to successfully draw people into the traps she lays throughout the city streets [אלשיך].
