Now is she without, now in the streets, and lieth in wait at every corner.)

I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with carved works, with fine linen of Egypt.

He hath taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at the day appointed.
20 of 27
With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him.
21 of 27
He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks;
22 of 27
Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life.
23 of 27
Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend to the words of my mouth.
24 of 27
Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths.
25 of 27
For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her.
26 of 27
Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death.

IMPORTANT: All Scripture text has context and background. Scripture should never be read literally or in isolation. Always seek clarification from religious scholars and teachers. In general, Scripture adheres to four principles: (1) Literal Meaning - What the Scripture says (2) Historical Setting - The story events; how the Scripture was understood in its time (3) Grammar - The surrounding sentence and paragraph; textual context (4) Synthesis - A comparison with similar Scripture to give a better contextual understanding
