Proverbs 9:13-18 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

13. Woman Folly is raucous,utterly foolish; she knows nothing.

14. She sits at the door of her houseupon a seat on the city heights,

15. Calling to passersbyas they go on their way straight ahead:

16. “Let those who are naive turn in here,to those who lack sense I say,

17. Stolen water is sweet,and bread taken secretly is pleasing!”

18. Little do they know that the shades are there,that her guests are in the depths of Sheol!
