Proverbs 9:12-17 Modern English Version (MEV)

12. If you are wise, you will be wise for yourself,but if you scorn, you alone will bear it.

13. A foolish woman is clamorous;she is simple, and knows nothing.

14. For she sits at the door of her house,on a seat in the high places of the city,

15. to call those who pass bywho go right on their way:

16. “Whoever is simple, let him turn in here.”And as for him who lacks understanding, she says to him,

17. “Stolen waters are sweet,and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.”
