Proverbs 5
American Standard-ASV1901 (ASV)
3 Ref For the lips of a strange woman drop honey, And her mouth is smoother than oil:
4 Ref But in the end she is bitter as wormwood, Sharp as a two-edged sword.
5 Ref Her feet go down to death; Her steps take hold on Sheol;
6 Ref So that she findeth not the level path of life: Her ways are unstable, `and' she knoweth `it' not.
7 Ref Now therefore, `my' sons, hearken unto me, And depart not from the words of my mouth.
8 Ref Remove thy way far from her, And come not nigh the door of her house;
9 Ref Lest thou give thine honor unto others, And thy years unto the cruel;
10 Ref Lest strangers be filled with thy strength, And thy labors `be' in the house of an alien,
King James Version (KJV)
3 Ref For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil:
4 Ref But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword.
5 Ref Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.
6 Ref Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, that thou canst not know them.
7 Ref Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth.
8 Ref Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house:
9 Ref Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel:
10 Ref Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours be in the house of a stranger;
