	YLT Young's Literal Translation	ESV English Standard Version	NIV New International Version
3	For the lips of a strange woman drop honey, And smoother than oil is her mouth,	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	And her latter end is bitter as wormwood, Sharp as a sword with mouths.	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 are going down to death, Sheol do her steps take hold of.	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	The path of life -- lest thou ponder, Moved have her paths -- thou knowest not.	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.
