Proverbs 9:13-18

The Way of Folly

13  a The woman Folly is b loud;
she is seductive
Or full of simpleness
and d knows nothing.
14 She sits at the door of her house;
she takes a seat on e the highest places of the town,
15 calling to those who pass by,
who are f going straight on their way,
16  g Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!”
And to him who lacks sense she says,
17  h Stolen water is sweet,
and i bread eaten in secret is pleasant.”
18 But he does not know j that the dead
Hebrew Rephaim
are there,
that her guests are in the depths of Sheol.
