Proverbs 9:13-18
Living Bible
13 A prostitute is loud and brash and never has enough of lust and shame. 14 She sits at the door of her house or stands at the street corners of the city, 15 whispering to men going by and to those minding their own business. 16 “Come home with me,” she urges simpletons. 17 “Stolen melons[a] are the sweetest; stolen apples taste the best!” 18 But they don’t realize that her former guests are now citizens of hell.
