	SEP Brenton Septuagint Translation	ESV English Standard Version	NIV New International Version
3	for honey drops from the lips of a harlot, who for a season pleases thy palate:	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 afterwards thou wilt find her more bitter than gall, and sharper than 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	For the feet of folly lead those who deal with her down to the grave with death; and her steps are not established.	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	For she goes not upon the paths of life; but her ways are slippery, and not easily known.	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.
7	Now then, my son, hear me, and make not my words of none effect.	And now, O sons, listen to me, and do not depart from the words of my mouth.	Now then, my sons, listen to me; do not turn aside from what I say.
8	Remove thy way far from her; draw not near to the doors of her house:	Keep your way far from her, and do not go near the door of her house,	Keep to a path far from her, do not go near the door of her house,
