	LAMSA Lamsa Bible	ESV English Standard Version	NIV New International Version
14	A foolish woman is enticing; she does not know what shame is; she sits at the door of her home on a high seat,	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	She calls those who pass by, who go right on their ways;	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	She says, He who is simple, let him come to me; and as for him who lacks understanding, she says to him,	“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 bread eaten in secret is pleasant.	“Stolen water is sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.”	“Stolen water is sweet; food eaten in secret is delicious!”
