24 And now, O sons, listen to me, and be attentive to the words of my mouth.
25 Let not your heart turn aside to her ways; do not stray into her paths,
26 for many a victim has she laid low, and all her slain are a mighty throng.
27 Her house is the way to Sheol, going down to the chambers of death.
The closing is just like the opening, the closing of this story suggests the best way to avoid giving into temptation is to avoid the places where you are tempted. Even the strong fall victim to temptation. This is why Jesus had to die. Avoid temptation, embrace Jesus, avoid the abyss.
