Proverbs 7:25

25 ne abstrahatur in viis illius mens tua neque decipiaris semitis eius

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 donec transfigat sagitta iecur eius velut si avis festinet ad laqueum et nescit quia de periculo animae illius agitur
24 nunc ergo fili audi me et adtende verba oris mei
25 ne abstrahatur in viis illius mens tua neque decipiaris semitis eius
26 multos enim vulneratos deiecit et fortissimi quique interfecti sunt ab ea
27 viae inferi domus eius penetrantes interiora mortis
