12. If you are wise, you are wise for yourself,And if you scoff, you will bear it alone.”
13. A foolish woman is clamorous;She is simple, and knows nothing.
14. For she sits at the door of her house,On a seat by the highest places of the city,
15. To call to those who pass by,Who go straight on their way:
16. “Whoever is simple, let him turn in here”;And as for him who lacks understanding, she says to him,
17. “Stolen water is sweet,And bread eaten in secret is pleasant.”
