Proverbs 9:18

Douay-Rheims version of The Bible - 1752 version

And he did not know that giants are there, and that her guests are in the depths of hell. The Parables of Solomon

See the chapter Copy

Her house is the way to hell, reaching even to the inner chambers of death.

Her feet go down into death, and her steps go in as far as hell.

For the price of a harlot is scarce one loaf: but the woman catcheth the precious soul of a man.

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Fools despise wisdom and instruction.

They have said: Come and let us destroy them, so that they be not a nation: and let the name of Israel be remembered no more.

For this they are wilfully ignorant of, that the heavens were before, and the earth out of water, and through water, consisting by the word of God.

For she hath cast down many wounded, and the strongest have been slain by her.

The turning away of little ones shall kill them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.
