Proverbs 9:13-17
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 9
13 A woman of foolishness is boisterous, She has a lack of understanding and knows nothing. 14She sits at the doorway of her house, On a seat by the high places of the city, 15Calling to those who pass by, Who are going straight on their paths: 16'Whoever is naive, let him turn in here,' And to him who lacks understanding she says, 17'Stolen water is sweet; And bread eaten in secret is pleasant.'King James Version
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 9
13Folly is a rowdy woman; she is gullible and knows nothing. 14She sits by the doorway of her house, on a seat at the highest point of the city, 15calling to those who pass by, who go straight ahead on their paths: 16"Whoever is inexperienced, enter here!" To the one who lacks sense, she says, 17"Stolen water is sweet, and bread eaten secretly is tasty!"New Living Translation
Chapter 9
13The woman named Folly is brash. She is ignorant and doesn’t know it. 14She sits in her doorway on the heights overlooking the city. 15She calls out to men going by who are minding their own business. 16'Come in with me,' she urges the simple. To those who lack good judgment, she says, 17'Stolen water is refreshing; food eaten in secret tastes the best!'English Standard Version

13 The woman Folly is loud; she is seductive and knows nothing. 14She sits at the door of her house; she takes a seat on the highest places of the town, 15calling to those who pass by, who are going straight on their way, 16 "Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!" And to him who lacks sense she says, 17 "Stolen water is sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant."New International Version

13Folly is an unruly woman; she is simple and knows nothing. 14She sits at the door of her house, on a seat at the highest point of the city, 15calling out to those who pass by, who go straight on their way, 16"Let all who are simple come to my house!" To those who have no sense she says, 17"Stolen water is sweet; food eaten in secret is delicious!"New King James Version
