If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: but [if] thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear [it].
A foolish woman [is] clamorous: [she is] simple, and knoweth nothing.
For she sitteth at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city,
To call passengers who go right on their ways:
Whoso [is] simple, let him turn in hither: and [as for] him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,
Stolen waters are sweet, and bread [eaten] in secret is pleasant.
But he knoweth not that the dead [are] there; [and that] her guests [are] in the depths of hell.
The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish son [is] the heaviness of his mother.
Treasures of wickedness profit nothing: but righteousness delivereth from death.
