14 Siéntase en una silla á la puerta de su casa, en lo alto de la ciudad,
15 Para llamar á los que pasan por el camino, que van por sus caminos derechos.
16 Cualquiera simple, [dice], venga acá. A los faltos de cordura dijo:
17 Las aguas hurtadas son dulces, y el pan [comido] en oculto es suave.
18 Y no saben que allí están los muertos; que sus convidados están en los profundos de la sepultura.
