Proverbs 9:18

American Standard Version (1901)

But he knoweth not that the dead are there; That her guests are in the depths of Sheol.

See the chapter Copy

Her house is the way to Sheol, Going down to the chambers of death.

Her feet go down to death; Her steps take hold on Sheol;

For on account of a harlot a man is brought to a piece of bread; And the adulteress hunteth for the precious life.

The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of knowledge; But the foolish despise wisdom and instruction.

They know not, neither do they understand; They walk to and fro in darkness: All the foundations of the earth are shaken.

For this they wilfully forget, that there were heavens from of old, and an earth compacted out of water and amidst water, by the word of God;

For she hath cast down many wounded: Yea, all her slain are a mighty host.

For the backsliding of the simple shall slay them, And the careless ease of fools shall destroy them.
