Mishle 5:3-10

Orthodox Jewish Bible

³ For the sfatayim (lips) of a zarah (strange woman) drip as a honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than shemen (olive oil);

⁴ But her end is marah (bitter) as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged cherev.

⁵ Her raglayim go down to mavet; her steps lead to Sheol.

⁶ Lest thou shouldest compare [hers] to the orach chayyim, her ma’agalot (paths) are crooked, that thou canst not know them.

⁷ Hear me now therefore, O ye banim, and turn not from the words of my peh (mouth).

⁸ Remove thy derech far from her, and come not near the petach (doorway) of her bais;

⁹ Lest thou give thine hod (strength) unto others, and thy shanim unto the cruel one;

¹⁰ Lest zarim (strangers) be filled with thy koach; and thy toilings be in the bais nochri;
