Proverbs 5:5 Context
3¶ For the lips of a strange woman drop as an hony combe, and her mouth is smoother then oyle. 4But her end is bitter as wormewood, sharpe as a two edged sword. 5Her feete goe downe to death: her steps take hold on hell. 6Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her wayes are moueable, that thou canst not know them. 7Heare me now therefore, O yee children: & depart not from the words of my mouth.
