Proverbs 7:26

"Don’t let your heart turn to her ways. Don’t go astray in her paths,"

Key Reflection

This verse cautions against succumbing to temptation and warns that following sinful paths will lead to harm, as it has for others before. The "ways" and "paths" refer to the allure of sin, which can wound many and bring destruction upon those who yield to it.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

The house of the harlot is now likened to a field of battle strewn with the corpses of the many slain.
