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!” (A)
18 But he doesn’t know that the departed spirits are there,(B)
that her guests are in the depths of Sheol.(C)

16 “Whoever(A) is [a]simple, let him turn in here”;
And as for him who lacks understanding, she says to him,

And bread eaten in secret is pleasant.”
18 But he does not know that (C)the dead are there,
That her guests are in the depths of [b]hell.
