Proverbs 5:3-13

JuliaSmith(i) 3 For the lips of the strange woman will drop droppings of the honeycomb, and her palate is smooth above oil: 4 And her latter state being bitter as wormwood; sharp as a two-mouthed sword. 5 Her feet go down to death; her steps will hold fast to hades. 6 Lest thou shalt make level the path of life, her tracks wavered; thou wilt not know. 7 And now, ye sons, hear to me, and ye shall not depart from the words of my mouth. 8 Remove far off from her thy way, and thou shalt not draw near to the door of her house: 9 Lest thou shalt give thy strength to others, and thy years to the cruel: 10 Lest strangers shall be filled with thy strength, and thy labors in the house of strangers; 11 And thou didst lament in thy latter state, in the consuming of thy flesh and thy fulness, 12 And thou saidst, How did I hate instruction, and my heart despise reproofs 13 And I heard not to the voice of him teaching me, and I inclined not mine ear to him instructing me.
