Commentary on Proverbs 9:18
The simple don't know that the dead are there, her guests in death's depths. The Hebrew 'rapha' (dead/departed spirits) and 'sheowl' (grave/death/underworld) describe folly's destination. What appears attractive leads to death. The simple, lacking discernment, don't recognize danger. They see attractive invitation, miss deadly outcome. Wisdom looks beyond immediate appeal to ultimate consequence. Folly sees only present pleasure, ignoring future destruction.
