Proverbs 9:14-18
English Standard Version
14 She sits at the door of her house;
she takes a seat on (A)the highest places of the town,
15 calling to those who pass by,
who are (B)going straight on their way,
16 (C)“Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!”
And to him who lacks sense she says,
17 (D)“Stolen water is sweet,
and (E)bread eaten in secret is pleasant.”
18 But he does not know (F)that the dead[a] are there,
that her guests are in the depths of Sheol.
