Proverbs 9:12-14

Expanded Bible

¹²The wise person is rewarded by wisdom,
but ·whoever makes fun of wisdom will suffer for it [^Lmockers will bear it alone].”

¹³·Foolishness is like a loud woman [Woman Folly is boisterous/noisy];
she ·does not have wisdom or knowledge [^Lis ignorant and does not even know it].
¹⁴She sits at the door of her house
at the highest place in the city [9:3; ^Cher house is built on the highest point of the city, indicating she symbolizes false gods].
