- 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.
|
- The woman Folly is loud; she is undisciplined and without knowledge.
- She sits at the door of her house, on a seat at the highest point of the city,
- calling out to those who pass by, who go straight on their way.
- "Let all who are simple come in here!" she says to those who lack judgment.
- "Stolen water is sweet; food eaten in secret is delicious!"
