In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night:

at twilight, as the day was fading into the dark of the night.

in the twilight, in the evening of the day, in the middle of the night and in the darkness.

In the twilight, in the evening of the day, In the middle of the night and in the darkness.

In the twilight—in the evening of day, In the darkness of night and blackness.

6 For at the window of my house I looked through my casement,

7 And beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding,

8 Passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house,

9 In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night:

10 And, behold, there met him a woman [with] the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart.

11 (She [is] loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house:

12 Now [is she] without, now in the streets, and lieth in wait at every corner.)
