Proverbs 5:8
Remove thy way far from her, And come not nigh the door of her house:
In context
5 Her feet go down to death; Her steps take hold on hell. 6 Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, Her ways are moveable, that thou canst not know them.
7 Hear me now therefore, O ye children, And depart not from the words of my mouth. 8 Remove thy way far from her, And come not nigh the door of her house: 9 Lest thou give thine honour unto others, And thy years unto the cruel: 10 Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; And thy labours be in the house of a stranger; 11 And thou mourn at the last, When thy flesh and thy body are consumed,
