23 Till the arrow pierce his liver: as if a bird should make haste to the snare, and knoweth not that his life is in danger. till an arrow pierces its liver; as a bird rushes into a snare; he does not know that it will cost him his life. till an arrow pierces his liver, like a bird darting into a snare, little knowing it will cost him his life.

25 Let not thy mind be drawn away in her ways: neither be thou deceived with her paths. Let not your heart turn aside to her ways; do not stray into her paths, Do not let your heart turn to her ways or stray into her paths.

27 Her house is the way to hell, reaching even to the inner chambers of death. Her house is the way to Sheol, going down to the chambers of death. Her house is a highway to the grave, leading down to the chambers of death.
