Folly

Proverbs 9

"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!

But little do they know that the dead are there,

that her guests are in the depths of the grave"
