Proverbs 7:26

Compare all

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 ^aall who were slain by her were strong men.

27 ^aHer house is the way to¹ hell,
Descending to the chambers of death.

Proverbs 7:26

For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her - That is, such like women have been the ruin of many. chalalim , which we render wounded, also signifies solsliers or men of war; and atsumim , which we render strong men, may be translated heroes. Many of those who have distinguished themselves in the field and in the cabinet have been overcome and destroyed by their mistresses. History is full of such examples.
