Context of Proverbs 7:25
23Then an arrow will go straight into its body and kill it! The young man was like a bird that is flying into a trap. He did not know that his life was in danger. 24So listen to me, my sons. Listen carefully to what I am saying. Do not let that kind of woman spoil your mind. Do not let her lead you away from what is right. 26She has caused many men to fall. Because of her, too many men have thrown away their lives. 27If you go to her house, you are on the road to death. You will soon be in your grave.
