Contextual Overview
13 The woman called Folly is brash, she is naive and does not know anything. 14 So she sits at the door of her house, on a seat at the highest point of the city, 15 calling out to those who are passing by her in the way, who go straight on their way. 16 "Whoever is simple, let him turn in here," she says to those who lack understanding. 17 "Stolen waters are sweet, and food obtained in secret is pleasant!" 18 But they do not realize that the dead are there, that her guests are in the depths of the grave.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
