Proverbs 5:3-8
New International Version
3 For the lips of the adulterous woman drip honey,
and her speech is smoother than oil;(A)
4 but in the end she is bitter as gall,(B)
sharp as a double-edged sword.
5 Her feet go down to death;
her steps lead straight to the grave.(C)
6 She gives no thought to the way of life;
her paths wander aimlessly, but she does not know it.(D)
Proverbs 5:3-8
King James Version
3 For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil:
4 But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword.
5 Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.
6 Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, that thou canst not know them.
7 Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth.
8 Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house:

New King James Version
3 (A)For the lips of [a]an immoral woman drip honey,
And her mouth is (B)smoother than oil;
4 But in the end she is bitter as wormwood,
Sharp as a two-edged sword.
5 Her feet go down to death,
(C)Her steps lay hold of [b]hell.
6 Lest you ponder her path of life—
Her ways are unstable;
You do not know them.
7 Therefore hear me now, my children,
And do not depart from the words of my mouth.
8 Remove your way far from her,
And do not go near the door of her house,
