Proverbs 9:13-15
Proverbs 9:13-18 The Message (MSG)
Then there’s this other woman, Madame Prostitute— brazen, empty-headed, frivolous. She sits on the front porch of her house on Main Street, And as people walk by minding their own business, calls out, “Are you confused about life, don’t know what’s going on? Steal off with me, I’ll show you a good time! No one will ever know—I’ll give you the time of your life.” But they don’t know about all the skeletons in her closet, that all her guests end up in hell.
Proverbs 9:13-15 King James Version (KJV)
A foolish woman is clamorous: She is simple, and knoweth nothing. For she sitteth at the door of her house, On a seat in the high places of the city, To call passengers Who go right on their ways
Proverbs 9:13-15 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 (NASB1995)

Proverbs 9:13-15 New Century Version (NCV)

Proverbs 9:13-15 American Standard Version (ASV)

Proverbs 9:13-15 New International Version (NIV)
