Proverbs 9:13-18

Lexham English Bible

¹³ A woman of foolishness is loud,
    simple, and does not know it.^[a]
14 She sits at the door of her house,
    upon a throne at the high places of town,
¹⁵ in order to call to those who pass by the road,
    those who go straight on their way:
¹⁶ “Whoever is simple, may he turn here!”
    As for he who lacks sense,^[b] she says to him,
¹⁷ “Stolen waters are sweet,
    and bread of secrecy is pleasant.”
¹⁸ But he does not know that the dead^[c] are there,
    in the depths of Sheol^[d] are her guests.
