Proverbs 2:16-19
Holman Christian Standard Bible
16 It will rescue you from a forbidden woman,(A)
from a stranger[a] with her flattering talk,(B)
17 who abandons the companion of her youth(C)
and forgets the covenant of her God;
18 for her house sinks down to death
and her ways to the land of the departed spirits.(D)
19 None return who go to her;
none reach the paths of life.(E)

Proverbs 5:3-6
Holman Christian Standard Bible
3 Though the lips of the forbidden woman drip honey
and her words are[a] smoother than oil,
4 in the end she’s as bitter as wormwood(A)
and as sharp as a double-edged sword.(B)
5 Her feet go down to death;
her steps head straight for Sheol.(C)
6 She doesn’t consider the path of life;
she doesn’t know that her ways are unstable.

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 23:27-28
