New American Standard Bible NAS
New International Version NIV
13 The woman of folly is boisterous, She is naive and knows nothing .
13
Folly is an unruly woman; she is simple and knows nothing.
14 She sits at the doorway of her house, On a seat by the high places of the city,
14
She sits at the door of her house, on a seat at the highest point of the city,
15 Calling to those who pass by, Who are making their paths straight:
15
calling out to those who pass by, who go straight on their way,
16 "Whoever is naive, let him turn in here," And to him who lacks understanding she says,
16
“Let all who are simple come to my house!” To those who have no sense she says,
17 "Stolen water is sweet; And bread eaten in secret is pleasant."
17
“Stolen water is sweet; food eaten in secret is delicious!”
18 But he does not know that the dead are there, That her guests are in the depths of Sheol.
18
But little do they know that the dead are there, that her guests are deep in the realm of the dead.
