Context of Proverbs 7:25

23until an arrow pierces his liver, like a bird darting into a snare— not knowing it will cost him his life. 24Now, my sons, listen to me, and attend to the words of my mouth. Do not let your heart turn aside to her ways; do not stray into her paths. 26For she has brought many down to death; her slain are many in number. 27Her house is the road to Sheol, descending to the chambers of death.
