	GWT God's Word Translation	ESV English Standard Version	NIV New International Version
14	She sits at the doorway of her house. She is enthroned on the high ground of the city	She sits at the door of her house; she takes a seat on the highest places of the town,	She sits at the door of her house, on a seat at the highest point of the city,
15	and calls to those who pass by, those minding their own business,	calling to those who pass by, who are going straight on their way,	calling out to those who pass by, who go straight on their way,
16	\|Whoever is gullible turn in here!\| She says to a person without sense,	“Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!” And to him who lacks sense she says,	“Let all who are simple come to my house!” To those who have no sense she says,
17	\|Stolen waters are sweet, and food eaten in secret is tasty.\|	“Stolen water is sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.”	“Stolen water is sweet; food eaten in secret is delicious!”
18	But he does not know that the souls of the dead are there, that her guests are in the depths of hell.	But he does not know that the dead are there, that her guests are in the depths of Sheol.	But little do they know that the dead are there, that her guests are deep in the realm of the dead.
