A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, and knoweth nothing.

Verse 13 is found in chapter 9 of Proverbs. The chapter contrasts the response of the wise person and the scoffer to correction. The wise accept rebuke because they desire to learn, while the fool turns correction into hostility. Then the foolish woman appears, offering another invitation, but her banquet leads to death. These two final invitations summarize Proverbs’ great literary choice: wisdom or folly.

Es ist aber ein törichtes, wildes Weib, voll Schwätzens, und weiß nichts;
La mujer loca es alborotadora; Es simple e ignorante.
La insensatez es una mujer bulliciosa; es ingenua y no sabe nada.
La folie est une femme bruyante, Stupide et ne sachant rien.
La donna stolta, strepitosa, Scempia, e che non ha alcuno intendimento,
A mulher louca é alvoroçadora; é simples e nada sabe.
愚昧的女子喧嚷, 她是愚蒙,一無所知。
