6 Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, that thou canst not know them.
6 Lest thou shouldest ponder H6424 the path H734 of life, H2416 her ways H4570 are moveable, H5128 that thou canst not know H3045 them.
6 So that she findeth not the level path of life: Her ways are unstable, `and' she knoweth `it' not.
6 The path of life -- lest thou ponder, Moved have her paths -- thou knowest not.
6 Lest she should ponder the path of life, her ways wander, she knoweth not [whither].
6 She gives no thought to the way of life. Her ways are crooked, and she doesn't know it.
6 She never keeps her mind on the road of life; her ways are uncertain, she has no knowledge.
A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth. He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers;
And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart. (She is loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house: Now is she without, now in the streets, and lieth in wait at every corner.) So she caught him, and kissed him, and with an impudent face said unto him, I have peace offerings with me; this day have I payed my vows. Therefore came I forth to meet thee, diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee. I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with carved works, with fine linen of Egypt. I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning: let us solace ourselves with loves. For the goodman is not at home, he is gone a long journey: He hath taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at the day appointed. With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him.

Pro 5:1-14
Here we have,
Pro 5:15-23
Solomon, having shown the great evil that there is in adultery and fornication, and all such lewd and filthy courses, here prescribes remedies against them.
