Proverbs
Chapters 9:12-18
New International Version Anglicized
12If you are wise, your wisdom will reward you;if you are a mocker, you alone will suffer.
13Folly is an unruly woman;she is simple and knows nothing.
14She sits at the door of her house,on a seat at the highest point of the city,
15calling out to those who pass by,who go straight on their way,
16 ‘Let all who are simple come to my house!’To those who have no sense she says,
17 ‘Stolen water is sweet;food eaten in secret is delicious!’
18But little do they know that the dead are there,that her guests are deep in the realm of the dead.
