Folly Calls for a Hearing
13 The woman named Folly is brash.
She is ignorant and doesn’t know it.
14 She sits in her doorway
on the heights overlooking the city.
15 She calls out to men going by
who are minding their own business.
16 “Come in with me,” she urges the simple.
To those who lack good judgment, she says,
17 “Stolen water is refreshing;
food eaten in secret tastes the best!”
18 But little do they know that the dead are there.
Her guests are in the depths of the grave.

Proverbs, Chapter 9
1 Wisdom has built her house;
she has carved its seven columns.
2 She has prepared a great banquet,
mixed the wines, and set the table.
3 She has sent her servants to invite everyone to come.
She calls out from the heights overlooking the city.
4 “Come in with me,” she urges the simple.
To those who lack good judgment, she says,
5 “Come, eat my food,
and drink the wine I have mixed.
6 Leave your simple ways behind, and begin to live;
learn to use good judgment.”

7 Anyone who rebukes a mocker will get an insult in return.
Anyone who corrects the wicked will get hurt.
8 So don’t bother correcting mockers;
they will only hate you.
But correct the wise,
and they will love you.

Wisdom continues to speak
32“Now therefore, O sons, listen to me,
For blessed are they who keep my ways.
33“Heed instruction and be wise,
And do not neglect it.
34“Blessed is the man who listens to me,
Watching daily at my gates,
Waiting at my doorposts.
35“For he who finds me finds life
And obtains favor from the LORD.
36“But he who sins against me injures himself;
All those who hate me love death.”

so the waters would not overstep his command,
and when he marked out the foundations of the earth.
