Folly’s Invitation and Promise

¹³ The foolish woman is loud;
   she is ignorant and knows nothing.
¹⁴ She sits at the door of her house,
   on a seat at the high places of the town,
¹⁵ calling to those who pass by,
   who are going straight on their way,
¹⁶ ‘You who are simple, turn in here!’
   And to those without sense she says,
¹⁷ ‘Stolen water is sweet,
   and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.’
¹⁸ But they do not know that the dead^* are there,
   that her guests are in the depths of Sheol.
