וְֽיָשְׁבָה לְפֶתַח בֵּיתָהּ עַל־כִּסֵּא מְרֹמֵי קָֽרֶת
And she sitteth at the door of her house, On a seat in the high places of the city,
לִקְרֹא לְעֹֽבְרֵי־דָרֶךְ הַֽמְיַשְּׁרִים אֹֽרְחוֹתָֽם
To call to them that pass by, Who go right on their ways:
מִי־פֶתִי יָסֻר הֵנָּה וַחֲסַר־לֵב וְאָמְרָה לּֽוֹ
’Whoso is thoughtless, let him turn in hither’; And as for him that lacketh understanding, she saith to him:
מַֽיִם־גְּנוּבִים יִמְתָּקוּ וְלֶחֶם סְתָרִים יִנְעָֽם
’Stolen waters are sweet, And bread eaten in secret is pleasant.’
וְֽלֹא־יָדַע כִּֽי־רְפָאִים שָׁם בְּעִמְקֵי שְׁאוֹל קְרֻאֶֽיהָ
But he knoweth not that the shades are there; that her guests are in the depths of the nether-world.
