She has also set her table;
Prov.|9:3|-|She has sent forth her maidens;She calls from the highest places of the city:

Prov.|9:15|-|To call to those who pass by,Who go straight on their ways:
Prov.|9:16|-|Whoever is simple, let him turn in here;And as for him who lacks sense, she says to him,
Prov.|9:17|-|Stolen waters are sweet,And bread gotten in secret is pleasant.
Prov.|9:18|-|But he does not know that the dead are there,That her guests are in the depths of Sheol.
