Proverbs 9:16-18

Legacy Standard Bible

¹⁶ “^(A)Whoever is simple, let him turn in here,”
And to him who lacks a heart of wisdom she says,
¹⁷ “Stolen water is sweet;
And ^(B)bread eaten in secret is pleasant.”
¹⁸ But he does not know that the ^[a]dead are there,
That those she called are in the ^(C)depths of Sheol.
