Contextual Overview
13 A foolish woman makes much noise. She is open to sin, and knows nothing. 14 She sits at the door of her house or on a seat in the high places of the city. 15 She calls to those who pass by and are making their paths straight, 16 "Whoever is easy to fool, let him turn in here!" She says to the one without understanding, 17 "Stolen water is sweet. And bread eaten in secret is pleasing." 18 But he does not know that the dead are there, and that the ones who visit her are in the bottom of hell.
