Proverbs: God’s Answers for Today’s Problems
Stupidity is like a loud, ignorant, shameless woman. She sits at the door of her house or on a seat in the highest part of town, and calls out to people passing by, who are minding their own business: “Come in, ignorant people!” To the foolish she says, “Stolen water is sweeter. Stolen bread tastes better.” Her victims do not know that the people die who go to her house, that those who have already entered are now deep in the world of the dead.
Proverbs 9:13-18
