3 Indeed, the lips of the stranger drip honey, and her mouth is smoother than oil;

4 But in the end she is as bitter as wormwood, as sharp as a two-edged sword.

5 Her feet go down to death, her steps reach Sheol;

6 Her paths ramble, you know not where, lest you see before you the road to life.

7 So now, children, listen to me, do not stray from the words of my mouth.

8 Keep your way far from her, do not go near the door of her house,
