A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, and knoweth nothing.
The clamorous and ignorant figure of folly belongs to the closing part of the chapter, which condemns particular sins and warns the reader away from them. Her portrayal is not isolated moral description but part of that final warning against those condemned sins. Although cast in the form of a foolish woman, the instruction is to take hold upon both men and women alike.
