Expanded Bible

12 The wise person is rewarded by wisdom,
    but ·whoever makes fun of wisdom will suffer for it [L mockers will bear it alone].”

13 ·Foolishness is like a loud woman [Woman Folly is boisterous/noisy];
    she ·does not have wisdom or knowledge [L is ignorant and does not even know it].
14 She sits at the door of her house
    at the highest place in the city [9:3; C her house is built on the highest point of the city, indicating she symbolizes false gods].
