Proverbs 9:13-18
Legacy Standard Bible
13 The woman of [a]foolishness is (A)boisterous,
A woman of simplicity, and (B)does not know anything.
14 She sits at the doorway of her house,
On a seat by (C)the high places of the city,
15 To call to those who pass by that way,
Who are making their paths straight:
16 “(D)Whoever is simple, let him turn in here,”
And to him who lacks a heart of wisdom she says,
17 “Stolen water is sweet;
And (E)bread eaten in secret is pleasant.”
18 But he does not know that the [b]dead are there,
That those she called are in the (F)depths of Sheol.

Proverbs 9:13-18
New American Standard Bible 1995
13 The [a]woman of folly is (A)boisterous,
She is [b]naive and (B)knows nothing.
14 She sits at the doorway of her house,
On a seat by (C)the high places of the city,
15 Calling to those who pass by,
Who are making their paths straight:
16 “(D)Whoever is [c]naive, let him turn in here,”
And to him who lacks [d]understanding she says,
17 “Stolen water is sweet;
And (E)bread eaten in secret is pleasant.”
18 But he does not know that the [e]dead are there,
That her guests are in the (F)depths of Sheol.
