Proverbs 7:27
KJV
Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death.
NIV
Her house is a highway to the grave, leading down to the chambers of death.
The KJV emphasizes the severity of adultery, listing “whoremongers” among those who will face judgment (Rev. 21:8). In contrast, some modern versions downplay this by using the word “grave”. The KJV’s use of “Hell” conveys a stronger sense of consequence, making it more relatable to readers than the obscure term “Sheol”.
