8 Keep to a path far from her,
do not go near the door of her house,
9 lest you lose your honor to others
and your dignity to one who is cruel,
10 lest strangers feast on your wealth
and your toil enrich the house of another.
Proverbs Club Commentary
The adulteress will destroy your honor, dignity, and wealth.
7 Now then, my sons, listen to me;
do not turn aside from what I say.
8 Keep to a path far from her,
do not go near the door of her house,
9 lest you lose your honor to others
and your dignity[a] to one who is cruel,
10 lest strangers feast on your wealth
and your toil enrich the house of another.
Proverbs Club Commentary
To retain your honor and wealth,
avoid the home of the adulteress.
6 She gives no thought to the way of life;
her paths wander aimlessly, but she does not know it.
Proverbs Club Commentary
An adulteress is not bothered
by her indiscriminate behavior.
5 Her feet go down to death;
her steps lead straight to the grave.
NIV
Proverbs Club Commentary
The adulteress is followed to the grave.
3 For the lips of the adulterous woman drip honey,
and her speech is smoother than oil;
4 but in the end she is bitter as gall,
sharp as a double-edged sword.
NIV
PCDC Commentary
The Adulteress offers honey and oil,
but delivers bitterness and pain.
