Commentary on Proverbs 5:5
Her feet go down to death, her steps take hold on hell (sheol - grave, death, underworld). The path of adultery leads inexorably to destruction - not merely risk but certainty. The vivid imagery of descending to sheol emphasizes sexual sin's deadly trajectory. While applied specifically to adultery, the principle extends to all sin - persistent evil leads to death, spiritual and eternal. Only repentance can reverse this downward trajectory.
