But in the end she is like bitter poison. She cuts like a sword that has two edges.

至终却苦似茵陈，快如两刃的刀。

后来却苦似茵陈，锐利如两刃的剑。

后来却苦似茵陈，锐利如两刃的剑。

最后却苦如艾草，锋利似双刃剑。

至终却苦似苦菫，快如两刃的剑。

但她的尽头，却苦涩如苦艾，锐利如双刃的刀剑；

至終卻苦似茵蔯，快如兩刃的刀。

後來卻苦似茵蔯，銳利如兩刃的劍。

後來卻苦似茵蔯，銳利如兩刃的劍。

最後卻苦如艾草，鋒利似雙刃劍。

至終卻苦似苦菫，快如兩刃的劍。

其終局卻苦似苦堇，快如雙刃之刀。

但她的盡頭，卻苦澀如苦艾，銳利如雙刃的刀劍；

終則苦若茵陳、利如刀劍、

及其終也、苦比茵蔯、利同鋒刃、

終必苦如茵蔯、利同兩刃之刀、

A woman who hunts a man down is more painful than death. Her heart is like a trap. Her hands are like chains. A man who pleases God will try to get away from her. But she will trap a sinner.

The word of God is alive and active. It is sharper than any sword that has two edges. It cuts deep enough to separate soul from spirit. It can separate bones from joints. It judges the thoughts and purposes of the heart.

Men who are like lions are all around me. I am forced to lie down among people who are like hungry animals. Their teeth are like spears and arrows. Their tongues are like sharp swords.

But they don’t know that dead people are there. They don’t know that her guests are deep in the place of the dead.

His talk is as smooth as butter. But he has war in his heart. His words flow like olive oil. But they are like swords ready for battle.

All at once he followed her. He was like an ox going to be killed. He was like a deer stepping into a trapuntil an arrow struck its liver. He was like a bird rushing into a trap. Little did he know it would cost him his life!

Be sure that no one misses out on God’s grace. See to it that a bitter plant doesn’t grow up. If it does, it will cause trouble. And it will make many people impure.See to it that no one commits sexual sins. See to it that no one is godless like Esau. He sold the rights to what he would receive as the oldest son. He sold them for a single meal.

It keeps you from your neighbor’s wife. It keeps you from the smooth talk of a woman who commits adultery.Don’t hunger in your heart after her beauty. Don’t let her eyes capture you.A prostitute can be bought for only a loaf of bread. But another man’s wife hunts your very life.You can’t shovel fire into your lap without burning your clothes.You can’t walk on hot coals without burning your feet.It’s the same for anyone who has sex with another man’s wife. Anyone who touches her will be punished.People don’t hate a thief who steals to fill his empty stomach.But when he is caught, he must pay seven times as much as he stole. It may even cost him everything he has.A man who commits adultery has no sense. Anyone who does it destroys himself.He will be beaten up and dishonored. His shame will never be wiped away.Jealousy stirs up a husband’s anger. He will show no mercy when he gets even.He won’t accept any payment. He won’t take any money, no matter how much he is offered.

An unfaithful wife is like a deep pit. A wife who commits adultery is like a narrow well.She hides and waits like a thief. She causes many men to sin.

Some time later, Samson fell in love again. The woman lived in the Valley of Sorek. Her name was Delilah.The rulers of the Philistines went to her. They said,“ See if you can get him to tell you the secret of why he’s so strong. Find out how we can overpower him. Then we can tie him up. We can bring him under our control. Each of us will give you 28 pounds of silver.”So Delilah said to Samson,“ Tell me the secret of why you are so strong. Tell me how you can be tied up and controlled.”

Then she said to him,“ How can you say,‘ I love you’? You won’t even share your secret with me. This is the third time you have made me look foolish. And you still haven’t told me the secret of why you are so strong.”She continued to pester him day after day. She nagged him until he was sick and tired of it.So he told her everything. He said,“ My hair has never been cut. That’s because I’ve been a Nazirite since the day I was born. A Nazirite is set apart to God. If you shave my head, I won’t be strong anymore. I’ll become as weak as any other man.”Delilah realized he had told her everything. So she sent a message to the Philistine rulers. She said,“ Come back one more time. He has told me everything.” So the rulers returned. They brought the silver with them.Delilah got Samson to go to sleep on her lap. Then she called for someone to shave off the seven braids of his hair. That’s how she began to bring Samson under her control. And he wasn’t strong anymore.She called out,“ Samson! The Philistines are attacking you!” He woke up from his sleep. He thought,“ I’ll go out just as I did before. I’ll shake myself free.” But he didn’t know that the Lord had left him.Then the Philistines grabbed him. They poked his eyes out. They took him down to Gaza. They put bronze chains around him. Then they made him grind grain in the prison.
