“Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: and as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,”
Proverbs 9:16 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 9:16
Whoever is simple, let him turn in here. Identically to Wisdom's invitation (9:4), Folly addresses the simple. The Hebrew 'pethiy' (simple/naive) describes the undecided, gullible, easily swayed. Both wisdom and folly target the same audience - those not yet committed. The simple must choose between competing invitations. Neutrality isn't option; passivity defaults to folly. Active choice for wisdom is required.
