Proverbs 9:16-18

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁶ “You who are simple, turn in here!”
    And to those without sense she says,
¹⁷ “Stolen water is sweet,
    and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.”
¹⁸ But they do not know that the dead^[a] are there,
    that her guests are in the depths of Sheol.
