in the end she’s as bitter as wormwood
and as sharp as a double-edged sword.

strangers will drain your resources,
and your earnings will end up in a foreigner’s house.

At the end of your life, you will lament
when your physical body has been consumed,

There is a way that seems right to a man,
but its end is the way to death.

Even in laughter a heart may be sad,
and joy may end in grief.

There is a way that seems right to a man,
but its end is the way to death.

In the end it bites like a snake
and stings like a viper.
