When I went out to the city gate and secured my seat in the public square,

beside the gates opening into the city, at the entrance of the doorways she cries out:

She has sent out her female servants; she calls out on the highest places of the city.

So she sits at the door of her house, on a seat at the highest point of the city,

A city is exalted by the blessing provided from the upright, but it is destroyed by the counsel of the wicked.
