as (B)a bird rushes into a snare;
he does not know that it will cost him his life.
24 And (C)now, O sons, listen to me,
and be attentive to the words of my mouth.
25 Let not your heart turn aside to her ways;
do not stray into her paths,
26 for many a victim has she laid low,
and all her slain are (D)a mighty throng.
27 Her house is (E)the way to Sheol,
going down to the chambers of death.
