Proverbs 5:4

Avoid Seduction

³ For the lips of an adulteress drip honey
And smoother than oil is her speech;
⁴ But in the end she is bitter as wormwood,
Sharp as a two-edged sword.
⁵ Her feet go down to death,
Her steps take hold of Sheol.

Two-Edged Sword

Double-Edged Sword

And their tongue a sharp sword.

From the smooth tongue of the adulteress.

That her guests are in the depths of Sheol.
