Proverbs

²²He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as fetters to the correction of the fool; ²³Till an arrow strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life. ²⁴Now therefore, my sons, hearken unto me, and attend to the words of my mouth. ²⁵Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths. ²⁶For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, all her slain are a mighty host. ²⁷Her house is the way to Sheol, going down to the chambers of death.
