For by me your days will be multiplied.
The years of your life will be increased.

She sits at the door of her house,
on a seat in the high places of the city,
15
to call to those who pass by,
who go straight on their ways,
16
“Whoever is simple, let him turn in here.”
As for him who is void of understanding, she says to him,
17
“Stolen water is sweet.
Food eaten in secret is pleasant.”
