And behold, a woman comes to meet him,
Dressed as a harlot and cunning of heart.

For her house sinks down to death
And her tracks lead to the dead;

For the lips of an adulteress drip honey
And smoother than oil is her speech;

To keep you from the evil woman,
From the smooth tongue of the adulteress.

I will not punish your daughters when they play the harlot
Or your brides when they commit adultery,
For the men themselves go apart with harlots
And offer sacrifices with temple prostitutes;
So the people without understanding are ruined.

Who say, ‘As your god lives, O Dan,’
And, ‘As the way of Beersheba lives,’

Or your brides when they commit adultery,
For the men themselves go apart with harlots
And offer sacrifices with temple prostitutes;

“Do men fall and not get up again?
Does one turn away and not repent?
