Proverbs 9:16-18

New International Reader's Version

¹⁶ “Let all who are childish come to my house!”
    She speaks to those who have no sense.
¹⁷ She says, “Stolen water is sweet.
    Food eaten in secret tastes good!”
¹⁸ But they don’t know that dead people are there.
    They don’t know that her guests are deep in the place of the dead.
