Proverbs 9:16

9:16 “Whoever is simple, let him turn in here,”

she says to those who lack understanding. ¹ 

[9:16]  ¹ tn 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.
