Proverbs 9:13-18

131A woman of foolishness is 2boisterous, She has a lack of understanding and 3knows nothing.14She sits at the doorway of her house, On a seat by 4the high places of the city,15Calling to those who pass by, Who are going straight on their paths:16“5Whoever is naive, let him turn in here,” And to him who lacks 6understanding she says,17“Stolen water is sweet; And 7bread eaten in secret is pleasant.”18But he does not know that the 8dead are there, That her guests are in the 9depths of Sheol.
