Proverbs 9:16 in Context (Verses 13–18 KJV)

¶ A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, and knoweth nothing.

For she sitteth at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city,

To call passengers who go right on their ways:

Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: and as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,

Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.^*

But he knoweth not that the dead are there; and that her guests are in the depths of hell.
