3 For the lips of an adulteress drip honey, And smoother than oil is her speech;

4 But in the end she is bitter as wormwood, Sharp as a two-edged sword.

5 Her feet go down to death, Her steps lay hold of Sheol.

6 She does not ponder the path of life; Her ways are unstable, she does not know it.

7 Now then, my sons, listen to me, And do not depart from the words of my mouth.

8 Keep your way far from her, And do not go near the door of her house,
