she has hewn her ^wseven ^xpillars.

2  She has ^yslaughtered her beasts; she has ^zmixed her wine;

she has also ^aset her table.

3  She has ^bsent out her young women to ^ccall

from ^dthe highest places in the town,

13  ^tThe woman Folly is ^uloud;

she is seductive¹ and ^vknows nothing.

14  She sits at the door of her house;

she takes a seat on ^wthe highest places of the town,

17  ^z“Stolen water is sweet,

and ^abread eaten in secret is pleasant.”
