- 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!"
|
- 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."
