rsv Proverbs:5:3-11 SEEK
Seeker Overlay ON
*
For the lips of a loose woman drip honey ,
and her speech is smoother than oil ;
*
but in the end she is bitter as wormwood ,
sharp as a two-edged sword .
*
Her feet go down to death ;
her steps follow the path to Sheol ;
*
she does not take heed to the path of life ;
her ways wander ,
and she does not know it .
*
And now ,
O sons ,
listen to me ,
and do not depart from the words of my mouth .
*
Keep your way far from her ,
and do not go near the door of her house ;
*
lest you give your honor to others and your years to the merciless ;
*
lest strangers take their fill of your strength ,
and your labors go to the house of an alien ;
*
and at the end of your life you groan ,
when your flesh and body are consumed ,
