Proverbs 9:13-18

New King James Version

^13 (A)A foolish woman is ^[a]clamorous;
She is simple, and knows nothing.
¹⁴ For she sits at the door of her house,
On a seat ^(B)by the highest places of the city,
¹⁵ To call to those who pass by,
Who go straight on their way:
¹⁶ “Whoever^(C) is ^[b]simple, let him turn in here”;
And as for him who lacks understanding, she says to him,
¹⁷ “Stolen^(D) water is sweet,
And bread eaten in secret is pleasant.”
¹⁸ But he does not know that ^(E)the dead are there,
That her guests are in the depths of ^[c]hell.
