3
For the lips of an adulteress drip honey. Her mouth is smoother than oil,
4
But in the end she is as bitter as wormwood, And as sharp as a two-edged sword.
5
Her feet go down to death. Her steps lead straight to Sheol.
6
She gives no thought to the way of life. Her ways are crooked, and she doesn`t know it.
7
Now therefore, my sons, listen to me. Don`t depart from the words of my mouth.
8
Remove your way far from her. Don`t come near the door of her house,
9
Lest you give your honor to others, And your years to the cruel one;
10
Lest strangers feast on your wealth, And your labors enrich another man`s house.
11
You will groan at your latter end, When your flesh and your body are consumed,
12
And say, "How I have hated instruction, And my heart despised reproof;
13
Neither have I obeyed the voice of my teachers, Nor turned my ear to those who instructed me!
14
I have come to the brink of utter ruin, In the midst of the gathered assembly."
