Proverbs 9:13-18

Christian Standard Bible

¹³ Folly is a rowdy woman;^(A)
she is gullible and knows nothing.^(B)
14 She sits by the doorway of her house,
on a seat at the highest point of the city,
¹⁵ calling to those who pass by,
who go straight ahead on their paths:^(C)
16 “Whoever is inexperienced, enter here!”
To the one who lacks sense, she says,
¹⁷ “Stolen water is sweet,
and bread eaten secretly is tasty!” ^(D)
18 But he doesn’t know that the departed spirits are there,^(E)
that her guests are in the depths of Sheol.^(F)
