For she has fixed her house near death, and guided her wheels near Hades with the giants.

None that go by her shall return, neither shall they take hold of right paths, for they have not apprehended of the years of life.

For the feet of folly lead those who deal with her down to the grave with death, and her steps are not established.

But he knows that mighty men die by her, and he falls in with a snare of hell. [ 9:18A] But hasten away, do not delay in the place, neither fix your eye upon her; [ 9:18B] for thus shall you go through strange water; [ 9:18C] but abstain from strange water, and do not drink from a strange fountain, [ 9:18D] that you may live long, and years of life may be added to you.

And I find her [to be], and I will pronounce [to be] more bitter than death, the woman which is a snare, and her heart nets, [who has] a band in her hands. [He that is] good in the sight of God shall be delivered from her; but the sinner shall be caught by her.
