Surely her house leads down to death. Her paths lead to the spirits of the dead.

她的家陷入死地；她的路偏向阴间。

她的家陷入死亡，她的路偏向阴魂。

她的家陷入死亡，她的路偏向阴魂。

她的家通向死亡，她的路直达阴间。

她的家陷入死地，她的路径下落阴间。

她的家必陷入死亡，她的路径必归入阴魂之地；

她的家陷入死地；她的路偏向陰間。

她的家陷入死亡，她的路偏向陰魂。

她的家陷入死亡，她的路偏向陰魂。

她的家通向死亡，她的路直達陰間。

她的家陷入死地，她的路徑下落陰間。

她的家陷入死地，她的轍跡偏向陰魂之處；

她的家必陷入死亡，她的路徑必歸入陰魂之地；

其室陷於死域、其途歸於幽魂、

人造其家、若履死域、若歸陰府。

其家下臨死域、往彼之徑、即奔陰靈之徑、

Surely her house leads down to death and her paths to the spirits of the dead.

for her house sinks down to death, and her paths to the departed;

Entering her house leads to death; it is the road to the grave.

for her house sinks down to death and her ways to the land of the departed spirits.

For her house sinks down to death, And her tracks lead to the dead;

For her house leads down to death, And her paths to the dead;

For her house inclineth unto death, And her paths unto the dead;

for her house sinks down to death and her ways to the land of the departed spirits.

For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead.

For her house sinks down to death, and her paths lead to the place of the departed spirits.

for her house leads down to death, her paths to the departed spirits.

Here is what you can be sure of. Those who give themselves over to sexual sins are lost. So are people whose lives are impure. The same is true of those who always want more and more. People who do these things might as well worship statues of gods. No one who does them will receive a share in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

But they don’t know that dead people are there. They don’t know that her guests are deep in the place of the dead.

Don’t you know that people who do wrong will not receive God’s kingdom? Don’t be fooled. Those who commit sexual sins will not receive the kingdom. Neither will those who worship statues of gods or commit adultery. Neither will men who sleep with other men.Neither will thieves or those who always want more and more. Neither will those who are often drunk or tell lies or cheat. People who live like that will not receive God’s kingdom.Some of you used to do those things. But your sins were washed away. You were made holy. You were made right with God. All of this was done in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. It was also done by the Spirit of our God.

But others will be thrown into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur. Those who are afraid and those who do not believe will be there. Murderers and those who make themselves impure will join them. Those who commit sexual sins and those who practice witchcraft will go there. Those who worship statues of gods and all who tell lies will be there too. The lake of fire is the second death.”

The result of sin’s control in our lives is clear. It includes sexual sins, impure acts and wild living.It includes worshiping statues of gods and worshiping evil powers. It also includes hatred and fighting, jealousy and fits of anger. Sinful desire is interested only in getting ahead. It stirs up trouble. It separates people into their own little groups.It wants what others have. It gets drunk and takes part in wild parties. It does many things of that kind. I warn you now as I did before. People who live like this will not receive God’s kingdom.

Outside the city are those who are impure. These people include those who practice witchcraft. Outside are also those who commit sexual sins and murder. Outside are those who worship statues of gods. And outside is everyone who loves and does what is false.

A prostitute can be bought for only a loaf of bread. But another man’s wife hunts your very life.You can’t shovel fire into your lap without burning your clothes.You can’t walk on hot coals without burning your feet.It’s the same for anyone who has sex with another man’s wife. Anyone who touches her will be punished.People don’t hate a thief who steals to fill his empty stomach.But when he is caught, he must pay seven times as much as he stole. It may even cost him everything he has.A man who commits adultery has no sense. Anyone who does it destroys himself.He will be beaten up and dishonored. His shame will never be wiped away.Jealousy stirs up a husband’s anger. He will show no mercy when he gets even.He won’t accept any payment. He won’t take any money, no matter how much he is offered.

All at once he followed her. He was like an ox going to be killed. He was like a deer stepping into a trapuntil an arrow struck its liver. He was like a bird rushing into a trap. Little did he know it would cost him his life!My sons, listen to me. Pay attention to what I say.Don’t let your hearts turn to her ways. Don’t step onto her paths.She has brought down a lot of men. She has killed a huge crowd.Her house is a road to the grave. It leads down to the place of the dead.

But in the end she is like bitter poison. She cuts like a sword that has two edges.Her feet go down to death. Her steps lead straight to the grave.She doesn’t give any thought to her way of life. Her paths have no direction, but she doesn’t realize it.My sons, listen to me. Don’t turn away from what I say.Stay on a path far away from that evil woman. Don’t even go near the door of her house.If you do, you will lose your honor to other people. You will give your self- respect to someone who is mean.Strangers will use up all your wealth. Your hard work will make someone else rich.At the end of your life you will groan. Your skin and your body will be worn out.You will say,“ How I hated to take advice! How my heart refused to be corrected!I would not obey my teachers. I wouldn’t listen to those who taught me.I was soon in deep trouble. It happened right in front of the whole assembly of God’s people.”
