²⁷ Her house is a highway to the grave,
    leading down to the chambers of death.^(A)

¹⁸ But little do they know that the dead are there,
    that her guests are deep in the realm of the dead.^(A)

²⁶ I find more bitter than death
    the woman who is a snare,^(A)
whose heart is a trap
    and whose hands are chains.
The man who pleases God will escape her,
    but the sinner she will ensnare.^(B)

¹⁸ Surely her house leads down to death
    and her paths to the spirits of the dead.^(A)
19 None who go to her return
    or attain the paths of life.^(B)
