Proverbs 9:16-18

Modern English Version

¹⁶ “Whoever is simple, let him turn in here.”
    And as for him who lacks understanding, she says to him,
¹⁷ “Stolen waters are sweet,
    and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.”
¹⁸ But he does not know that the dead are there,
    and that her guests are in the depths of the grave.
