Proverbs 9:15

Temptation

13 The woman named Folly is loud; she is naive and knows nothing.

14 She sits at the door of her house, on a seat in the heights of the city,

calling out to those who pass by, who make their paths straight.

16 “Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!” she says to him who lacks judgment.

17 “Stolen water is sweet, and bread eaten in secret is tasty!”

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
