"I have fresh meat at home; today I have fulfilled my vows! That is why I came out to meet you, to look for you, and I found you! I have spread my bed with elegant coverings, with richly colored fabric from Egypt. I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. Come, let's drink deeply of lovemaking until morning, let's delight ourselves with sexual intercourse. For my husband is not at home; he has gone on a journey of some distance. He has taken a bag of money with him; he will not return until the end of the month." She persuaded him with persuasive words; with her smooth talk she compelled him. Suddenly he went after her like an ox that goes to the slaughter, like a stag prancing into a trapper's snare till an arrow pierces his liver -- like a bird hurrying into a trap, and he does not know that it will cost him his life. So now, sons, listen to me, and pay attention to the words I speak. Do not let your heart turn aside to her ways -- do not wander into her pathways; for she has brought down many fatally wounded, and all those she has slain are many. Her house is the way to the grave, going down to the chambers of death.

The underworld is naked before God; the place of destruction lies uncovered.



The wicked are turned back and sent to Sheol; this is the destiny of all the nations that ignore God,

The ropes of death tightened around me, the snares of Sheol confronted me. I was confronted with trouble and sorrow.

Death and Destruction are before the Lord -- how much more the hearts of humans!

As Death and Destruction are never satisfied, so the eyes of a person are never satisfied.

The ropes of Sheol tightened around me; the snares of death trapped me.

It is higher than the heavens -- what can you do? It is deeper than Sheol -- what can you know?

The ropes of Sheol tightened around me, the snares of death trapped me.



But they do not realize that the dead are there, that her guests are in the depths of the grave.

The path of life is upward for the wise person, to keep him from going downward to Sheol.



But they do not realize that the dead are there, that her guests are in the depths of the grave.
