| 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!” | |
| 18 | But he does not know that the mighty men perish with her and that her guests are in the depths of Sheol. Now rise up, and do not abide in that place; do not cast your eye at her; thus pass by the waters of strangers; cross over a strange river, and turn away from the waters of strangers; you shall not drink of the waters of strangers. For in doing so a multitude of days and years of life shall be added to you. | 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. | |
