'Streets' in the Bible

Should your springs (children) be dispersed,As streams of water in the streets?

At times she was in the streets, at times in the market places,Lurking and setting her ambush at every corner.

The lazy one [manufactures excuses and] says, “There is a lion outside!I will be killed in the streets [if I go out to work]!”

The lazy person [who is self-indulgent and relies on lame excuses] says, “There is a lion in the road!A lion is in the open square [and if I go outside to work I will be killed]!”
