Proverbs 9:10-18 - Foolishness' Banquet

¹⁰ The fear of the Lord is the start of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One gives a wise mind ¹¹ For by me your days will be increased, and the years of your life will be long. ¹² If you are wise, you are wise for yourself; if your heart is full of pride, you only will have the pain of it. ¹³ The foolish woman is full of noise; she has no sense at all. ¹⁴ Seated at the door of her house, in the high places of the town, ¹⁵ Crying out to those who go by, going straight on their way, she says: ¹⁶ Whoever is simple, let him come in here: and to him who is without sense, she says: ¹⁷ Drink taken without right is sweet, and food in secret is pleasing. ¹⁸ But he does not see that the dead are there, that her guests are in the deep places of the underworld.
