  4. But her end is bitter as worm-wood, sharp as a twoedged sword.
  5. Her feet go down to death; her step 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.
