The Way of Folly

Proverbs 9

¹³ The woman named Folly is brash.
She is ignorant and doesn’t know it.
¹⁴ She sits in her doorway
on the heights overlooking the city.
¹⁵ She calls out to men going by
who are minding their own business.
¹⁶ “Come in with me,” she urges the simple.
To those who lack good judgment, she says,
¹⁷ “Stolen water is refreshing;
food eaten in secret tastes the best!”
¹⁸ But little do they know that the dead are there.
Her guests are in the depths of the grave. ₁
