5Her feet go down to death; Her steps take hold on Sheol;


In Context

2 That thou mayest preserve discretion, And that thy lips may keep knowledge.

3 For the lips of a strange woman drop honey, And her mouth is smoother than oil:

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 on Sheol;

6 So that she findeth not the level path of life: Her ways are unstable, and'she knoweth it not.

7 Now therefore, my'sons, hearken unto me, And depart not from the words of my mouth.
