In context
14 So she sitteth at the entrance of her house, upon a seat, in the heights of the city;
15 To invite them who pass by the way, who are going straight on in their paths:
16 Whoso is simple, let him turn aside hither, and, as for him that lacketh sense, she saith to him:
17 Stolen waters, will be sweet,—and a secret meal, will be pleasant;
18 But he knoweth not, that the shades are there; In the depths of hades, are her guests.
