>>23366805A seductive woman is a trap more bitter than death: the woman whose heart is snares and nets, and whose hands are chains. He who pleases God escapes her, but the sinner is taken by her.
Because they thought it was worthless to embrace the true knowledge of God, God gave them over to a worthless mindset.
The foolish woman is loud; she is seductive, immodest, and knows nothing. She sits at the door of her house; she takes a seat high above the city, calling to those who pass by, who are going straight on their way,
“Whoever is naive, let him turn in here!”
And to him who lacks sense she says,
"Stolen water is sweet, and food eaten in secret is delicious.”
But he does not realize the dead are there, that her guests are in the depths of hell.
And with all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false, in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.
