13 The woman of [a]foolishness is (A)boisterous,
A woman of simplicity, and (B)does not know anything.

On a seat by (C)the high places of the city,
15 To call to those who pass by that way,
Who are making their paths straight:
16 “(D)Whoever is simple, let him turn in here,”
And to him who lacks a heart of wisdom she says,
17 “Stolen water is sweet;
And (E)bread eaten in secret is pleasant.”

That those she called are in the (F)depths of Sheol.
