The short sapiential poem known as 4QWiles of the Wicked Woman (4Q184) describes the body of an unnamed female who ensnares the righteous into sin and ultimately death. This poetic description of a body has sometimes been compared to the Waṣf, a type of poem which provides a thick description of the body, listing and describing body parts in a movement descending from head to toe. In this essay, I explore the description of the woman’s body in 4Q184 in light of the genre of the Waṣf. By playing with the characteristic structure of the Waṣf, 4Q184 highlights certain aspects of the woman’s body in order to say something specific about her role and activities. In so doing, I uncover an image of the woman which is more erotic than commentators have previously allowed.

简短的智慧诗作，被称为《邪恶的女人的4QWiles（4Q184）》，描述了一位未具名女性的尸体，该女性将义人陷入罪恶并最终导致死亡。有时将这种对身体的诗意描述与Waṣf进行比较，Wa providesf是一首诗，它对身体进行了厚实的描述，列出并描述了从头到脚的运动中的身体部位。在本文中，我将根据Waṣf的体裁探索4Q184年女性身体的描述。通过发挥Waṣf的特征结构，4Q184着重强调了女性身体的某些方面，以便说出有关女性角色和活动的具体信息。这样一来，我发现该女性的照片比评论员以前允许的色情得多。
