Proverbs 9:12-17

¹²If thou art wise, thou shalt be wise to thyself, and to thy neighbours. Forsooth if thou art a scorner, thou alone shalt bear evil.

¹³A fond or foolish woman, and full of cry, and full of unleaveful lusts, and that knoweth nothing utterly,

¹⁴sitteth in the doors of her house, on a seat, in an high place of the city;

¹⁵to call men passing by the way, and men going in their journey.

¹⁶Who is a little man in wit; bow he to me. And she spake to a coward or to the sorry-hearted,

¹⁷Waters of theft be sweeter, and bread hid is sweeter. Stolen waters be sweeter, and hid bread more sweet.
