Proverbs 9:16

16 “Whoever is simple, let him turn in here,”
she says to those who lack understanding. ^{▼▼ This expression is almost identical to v. 4, with the exception of the addition of conjunctions in the second colon: “and the lacking of understanding and she says to him.” The parallel is deliberate, of course, showing the competing appeals for those passing by.}
