Proverbs 9:13-18

Common English Bible

¹³ Woman Folly is noisy;
    she’s stupid and doesn’t even know it.
¹⁴ She sits at the doorway of her house,
    on a seat at the city heights.
¹⁵ She invites those who pass by on the path,
    those going straight on their way.
¹⁶ “Whoever is naive, come in here,”
    she says to those who lack sense.
¹⁷ “Stolen water is sweet;
    food eaten in secret is pleasant.”
¹⁸ But they don’t know that the dead are there;
    her guests are in the depths of the grave.^[a]
