Condemnation of Fornication and Adultery.
V. 24. Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend to the words of my mouth, this exhortation receiving added weight on account of the story to which it is attached. V. 25. Let not thine heart decline to her ways, those of the harlot, go not astray in her paths. V. 26. For she hath cast down many wounded, many are those who have fallen victims to her wiles; yea, many strong men have been slain by her, both in body and soul. V. 27. Her house is the way to hell, literally, “ways of hell her house,” going down to the chambers of death.
That is the inevitable consequence of an immoral life: eternal destruction in the abyss of hell.
