Proverbs 9:13-18
Modern English Version
The Way of Foolishness
13 A foolish woman is clamorous;
she is simple, and knows nothing.
14 For she sits at the door of her house,
on a seat in the high places of the city,
15 to call those who pass by
who go right on their way:
16 “Whoever is simple, let him turn in here.”
And as for him who lacks understanding, she says to him,
17 “Stolen waters are sweet,
and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.”
18 But he does not know that the dead are there,
and that her guests are in the depths of the grave.

17 “Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.”
18 But he knoweth not that the dead are there, and that her guests are in the depths of hell. The proverbs of Solomon:
