Proverbs 7:24-27

Warning Against the Adulteress

24 And i now, O sons, listen to me,
and be attentive to the words of my mouth.
25 Let not your heart turn aside to her ways;
do not stray into her paths,
26 for many a victim has she laid low,
and all her slain are j a mighty throng.
27 Her house is k the way to Sheol,
going down to the chambers of death.
