New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
Folly’s Invitation and Promise
13 The foolish woman is loud;
she is ignorant and knows nothing.(A)
14 She sits at the door of her house,
on a seat at the high places of the town,
15 calling to those who pass by,
who are going straight on their way,
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.”(B)
18 But they do not know that the dead[a] are there,
that her guests are in the depths of Sheol.(C)

Proverbs 7:10-27
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
10 Then a woman comes toward him
decked out like a prostitute, with hidden intent.
11 She is loud and wayward;
her feet do not stay at home;(A)
12 now in the street, now in the squares,
and at every corner she lies in wait.(B)
13 She seizes him and kisses him,
and with impudent face she says to him:
14 “I had to offer sacrifices,
and today I have paid my vows;(C)
15 so now I have come out to meet you,
to seek you eagerly, and I have found you!
16 I have decked my couch with coverings,
colored spreads of Egyptian linen;(D)
17 I have perfumed my bed with myrrh,
aloes, and cinnamon.
18 Come, let us take our fill of love until morning;
let us delight ourselves with love.
19 For my husband is not at home;
he has gone on a long journey.
20 He took a bag of money with him;
he will not come home until full moon.”
21 With much seductive speech she persuades him;
with her smooth talk she compels him.(E)
22 Right away he follows her
and goes like an ox to the slaughter
or bounds like a stag toward the trap[a]
23 until an arrow pierces its entrails.
He is like a bird rushing into a snare,
not knowing that it will cost him his life.(F)
24 And now, my children, listen to me,
and be attentive to the words of my mouth.(G)
25 Do not let your hearts turn aside to her ways;
do not stray into her paths.(H)
26 For many are those she has laid low,
and numerous are her victims.(I)
27 Her house is the way to Sheol,
going down to the chambers of death.(J)

Proverbs 5:3-13
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
3 For the lips of a loose woman[a] drip honey,
and her speech is smoother than oil,(A)
4 but in the end she is bitter as wormwood,
sharp as a two-edged sword.(B)
5 Her feet go down to death;
her steps follow the path to Sheol.
6 She does not keep straight to the path of life;
her ways wander, and she does not know it.
7 And now, my child,[b] listen to me,
and do not depart from the words of my mouth.(C)
8 Keep your way far from her,
and do not go near the door of her house,(D)
9 lest you give your honor to others
and your years to the merciless,
10 and strangers take their fill of your wealth,
and your labors go to the house of an alien,
11 and at the end of your life you groan,
when your flesh and body are consumed,
12 and you say, “Oh, how I hated discipline,
and my heart despised reproof!(E)
13 I did not listen to the voice of my teachers
or incline my ear to my instructors.
Proverbs 2:16-19
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
16 You will be saved from the loose woman,[a]
from the adulteress[b] with her smooth words,(A)
17 who forsakes the partner of her youth
and forgets her sacred covenant,
18 for her way[c] leads down to death
and her paths to the shades;(B)
19 those who go to her never come back,
nor do they regain the paths of life.
