Proverbs 9:13-18

International Children’s Bible

¹³ Foolishness is like a loud woman.
    She does not have wisdom or knowledge.
¹⁴ She sits at the door of her house.
    It is at the highest place in the city.
¹⁵ She calls out to those who are passing by.
    They are minding their own business.
¹⁶ She says to those who are not wise,
    “Come in here, you foolish people!
¹⁷ Stolen water is sweeter.
    Stolen food tastes better.”
¹⁸ But these people don’t know that everyone dies who goes there.
    They don’t realize that her guests are deep in the grave.
