Proverbs 5:6
Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, Her ways are moveable, that thou canst not know them.
In context
3 For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, And her mouth is smoother than oil: 4 But her end is bitter as wormwood, Sharp as a twoedged sword. 5 Her feet go down to death; Her steps take hold on hell. 6 Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, Her ways are moveable, that thou canst not know them.
7 Hear me now therefore, O ye children, And depart not from the words of my mouth. 8 Remove thy way far from her, And come not nigh the door of her house: 9 Lest thou give thine honour unto others, And thy years unto the cruel:
