3. For the lips of a strange woman drop honey, and her mouth is smoother than oil:
4. But her latter end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword.
5. Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on Sheol;
6. So that she findeth not the level path of life: her ways are unstable and she knoweth it not.
7. Now therefore, my sons, hearken unto me, 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:
9. Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel:
10. Lest strangers be filled with thy strength; and thy labours be in the house of an alien;
11. And thou mourn at thy latter end, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed,
12. And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;
13. Neither have I obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me!
