The woman named Folly is brash.
She is ignorant and doesn't know it.
She sits in her doorway
on the heights overlooking the city.
She calls out to men going by
who are minding their own business.
"Come in with me," she urges the simple.
To those who lack good judgement, she says,
"Stolen water is refreshing;
food eaten in secret taste the best!"
But little do they know that the dead are there.
Her guests are in the depths of the grave.
Proverbs 9:13-18
