3	For the lips of the adulterous woman drip honey, and her seductive words are smoother than olive oil,	For the lips of a forbidden woman drip honey, and her speech is smoother than oil,	For the lips of the adulterous woman drip honey, and her speech is smoother than oil;
4	but in the end she is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword.	but in the end she is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword.	but in the end she is bitter as gall, sharp as a double-edged sword.
5	Her feet go down to death; her steps lead straight to the grave.	Her feet go down to death; her steps follow the path to Sheol;	Her feet go down to death; her steps lead straight to the grave.
6	Lest she should make level the path leading to life, her paths are unstable but she does not know it.	she does not ponder the path of life; her ways wander, and she does not know it.	She gives no thought to the way of life; her paths wander aimlessly, but she does not know it.
