Proverbs 7:25 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 7:25

Let not thine heart decline to her ways
Or turn not aside from the right way, the path of truth and holiness, to those of the whorish woman, that lead to ruin and destruction; do not so much as think of going out of the one into the other; let there not be the least wandering thought, affection, or disposition of the mind thereunto; stop and check the first motion of the heart, which leads to a compliance with her, and seems to be directed to her ways, or to betray any love and liking of them; go not astray in her paths;
for whoever walks in her paths goes astray from God and his law; from Christ and his Gospel; and from the true church of God; and from the right paths of faith, duty and worship.

Proverbs 7:25 In-Context

23 where an arrow would pierce its heart. He was like a bird going into a net - he did not know that his life was in danger.
24 Now then, sons, listen to me. Pay attention to what I say.
25 Do not let such a woman win your heart; don't go wandering after her.
26 She has been the ruin of many men and caused the death of too many to count.
27 If you go to her house, you are on the way to the world of the dead. It is a shortcut to death.
