The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.

For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:

For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead.

None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life.

Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.

For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life.

Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death.
