Proverbs 9:18

New King James Version

But he does not know that the dead are there, That her guests are in the depths of hell.

See the chapter Copy

Her house is the way to hell, Descending to the chambers of death.

Her feet go down to death, Her steps lay hold of hell.

For by means of a harlot A man is reduced to a crust of bread; And an adulteress will prey upon his precious life.

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, But fools despise wisdom and instruction.

They do not know, nor do they understand; They walk about in darkness; All the foundations of the earth are unstable.

For this they willfully forget: that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of water and in the water,

For she has cast down many wounded, And all who were slain by her were strong men.

For the turning away of the simple will slay them, And the complacency of fools will destroy them;
