15 To call to those passing the way, making straight their paths: 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 Who is simple, he shall turn aside here: and he wanting heart, and she said 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 will be sweet, and the bread of secrets shall be pleasant. “Stolen water is sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.” “Stolen water is sweet; food eaten in secret is delicious!”
18 And he knew not that there the shades; her called ones in the depths of hades. 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.
