What does Proverbs 9:14 mean?

The symbol of foolishness, imagined as a woman, Folly, is meant to be a mirror image of godly Wisdom (Proverbs 9:1–6). She sits at the door of her house waiting for some foolish man she can lure into ruin and destruction. While Wisdom's house was depicted as a noble estate, hosting a feast, the home of Folly is more likely to be something like a brothel (Proverbs 7:7–27). This is the kind of place that any man with common sense should know is dangerous.

However, Folly is not content to simply wait for a client. She aggressively searches for one. She goes through the town and sits like a queen on the town's highest places, where she can be easily seen and heard. It is not hard to find evil today; it displays itself prominently on TV, on the Internet, in our streets, in our back alleys and parks, in our schools, and even in our halls of government. Evil lures far too many people into illicit sex, drugs, smoking, crime, and excessive drinking. Scandal overtakes more than a few notable politicians and many celebrities. The embodiment of godless ignorance, Folly, is as active today as she was in the time of Solomon.
