14 And she sitteth at the door of her house, On a seat in the high places of the city,

15 To call to them that pass by, Who go right on their ways:

16 Whoso is thoughtless, let him turn in hither'; And as for him that lacketh understanding, she saith to him:

17 Stolen waters are sweet, And bread eaten in secret is pleasant.'

18 But he knoweth not that the shades are there; That her guests are in the depths of the nether-world.
