Proverbs 5:3-6
New American Standard Bible
3 For the lips of an [a](A)adulteress (B)drip honey,
And her [b]speech is (C)smoother than oil;
4 But in the end she is (D)bitter as wormwood,
(E)Sharp as a two-edged sword.
5 Her feet (F)go down to death,
Her steps take hold of Sheol.
6 [c]She does not ponder the (G)path of life;
Her ways are (H)unstable, she (I)does not know it.

Proverbs 5:3-6
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)
