- 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 of folly is boisterous, She is naive and knows nothing.
- She sits at the doorway of her house, On a seat by the high places of the city,
- Calling to those who pass by, Who are making their paths straight:
- "Whoever is naive, let him turn in here," And to him who lacks understanding she says,
- "Stolen water is sweet; And bread eaten in secret is pleasant."
