New Testament

Proverbs 9:12-17 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

12. If you are wise, your wisdom will reward you. If you make fun of others, you alone will suffer."

13. The woman called Foolishness is loud. She doesn't control herself. She doesn't know anything.

14. She sits at the door of her house. She sits at the highest point of the city.

15. She calls out to those who pass by. She calls out to those who go straight on their way.

16. She says, "Let all who are childish come in here!" She speaks to those who have no sense.

17. She says, "Stolen water is sweet. Food eaten in secret tastes good!"
