Proverbs 9:15-18d

¹⁵Calling to passers by, And to those that are going right on their ways;

¹⁶saying, Whoso is most senseless of you, let him turn aside to me; And I exhort those that want prudence, saying,

¹⁷Take and enjoy secret bread, And the sweet water of theft.

¹⁸But he knows that mighty men die by her, And he falls in with a snare of hell.

^18aBut hasten away, delay not in the place, Neither fix thine eye upon her:

^18bFor thus shalt thou go through strange water;

^18cBut do thou abstain from strange water, And drink not of a strange fountain,

^18dThat thou mayest live long, And years of life may be added to thee.
