Destroyeth

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

His own iniquities will capture the wicked,
And he will be held with the cords of his sin.

Suddenly he follows her

Or as one in fetters to the discipline of a fool,

“But he who sins against me injures himself;
All those who hate me love death.”

“Whoever is naive, let him turn in here,”
And to him who lacks understanding she says,

Cast away from you all your transgressions which you have committed and make yourselves a new heart and a new spirit! For why will you die, O house of Israel?

It is your destruction, O Israel,

That you are against Me, against your help.

Marriage is to be held in honor among all, and the marriage bed is to be undefiled; for fornicators and adulterers God will judge.
