Proverbs 5
Young's Literal Translation (YLT)
3 Ref For the lips of a strange woman drop honey, And smoother than oil `is' her mouth,
4 Ref And her latter end `is' bitter as wormwood, Sharp as a sword `with' mouths.
5 Ref Her feet are going down to death, Sheol do her steps take hold of.
6 Ref The path of life -- lest thou ponder, Moved have her paths -- thou knowest not.
7 Ref And now, ye sons, hearken to me, And turn not from sayings of my mouth.
8 Ref Keep far from off her thy way, And come not near unto the opening of her house,
9 Ref Lest thou give to others thy honour, And thy years to the fierce,
10 Ref Lest strangers be filled `with' thy power, And thy labours in the house of a stranger,

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,
