Proverbs 9:16-18
New Century Version

16 She says to those who are uneducated,
    “Come in here, you foolish people!
17 Stolen water is sweeter,
    and food eaten in secret tastes better.”
18 But these people don’t know that everyone who goes there dies,
    that her guests end up deep in the grave.
