24 Now then, my sons, listen(A) to me;
    pay attention to what I say.
25 Do not let your heart turn to her ways
    or stray into her paths.(B)
26 Many are the victims she has brought down;
    her slain are a mighty throng.
27 Her house is a highway to the grave,
    leading down to the chambers of death.(C)

24 Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend to the words of my mouth.

25 Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths.

26 For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her.

27 Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death.

24 Now therefore, listen to me, my children;
Pay attention to the words of my mouth:
25 Do not let your heart turn aside to her ways,
Do not stray into her paths;
26 For she has cast down many wounded,
And (A)all who were slain by her were strong men.
27 (B)Her house is the way to [a]hell,
Descending to the chambers of death.
