²² “How long, O ^(A)simple ones, will you love being simple?
How long will ^(B)scoffers delight in their scoffing
    and fools ^(C)hate knowledge?

³² For the simple are killed by ^(A)their turning away,
    and ^(B)the complacency of fools destroys them;

⁵ O ^(A)simple ones, learn ^(B)prudence;
    O ^(C)fools, learn sense.

^13 (A)The woman Folly is ^(B)loud;
    she is seductive^[a] and ^(C)knows nothing.
¹⁴ She sits at the door of her house;
    she takes a seat on ^(D)the highest places of the town,
¹⁵ calling to those who pass by,
    who are ^(E)going straight on their way,
^16 (F)“Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!”
    And to him who lacks sense she says,
^17 (G)“Stolen water is sweet,
    and ^(H)bread eaten in secret is pleasant.”
¹⁸ But he does not know ^(I)that the dead^[b] are there,
    that her guests are in the depths of Sheol.

^8 (A)The wise of heart will receive commandments,
    but a babbling fool will come to ruin.

¹⁸ The one who conceals hatred has lying lips,
    and whoever utters slander is a fool.

²³ Doing wrong is ^(A)like a joke to a fool,
    but ^(B)wisdom is pleasure to a man of understanding.

²⁹ Whoever ^(A)troubles his own household will ^(B)inherit the wind,
    and the fool will be servant to the wise of heart.
