Warnings against the Adulteress:
“Keep away from the adulteress who is loud and defiant. With persuasive words she seduced a simple man with her smooth talk. He who follows her is like an ox going to the slaughter, like a deer stepping into a noose till an arrow pierces his liver, like a bird carting into a snare, little knowing it will cost him his life. Do not let your heart turn to her ways or stray into her paths. Many are the victims she has brought down; her slain are a mighty throng. Her house is a highway to the grave, leading down to the chambers of death. leading him down to the chamber of death. (vs. 6-27)[:]
