Bible in Basic English
"Let not your heart be turned to her ways, do not go wandering in her footsteps."
— Proverbs 7:25, Bible in Basic English
“Don't let your heart turn to her ways. Don't go astray in her paths,”
The simple man goes after her, like an ox going to its death, like a roe pulled by a cord;
Like a bird falling into a net; with no thought that his life is in danger, till an arrow goes into his side.
So now, my sons, give ear to me; give attention to the sayings of my mouth;
Let not your heart be turned to her ways, do not go wandering in her footsteps.
For those wounded and made low by her are great in number; and all those who have come to their death through her are a great army.
Her house is the way to the underworld, going down to the rooms of death.
