Proverbios 5:4

4 Pero al final ella resulta ser tan amarga como el veneno,
tan peligrosa como una espada de dos filos.

Proverbios 5:4 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 5:4

But her end is bitter as wormwood
Which is opposed to the honeycomb her lips are said to drop; so that, as Juvenal says F7, "plus aloes quam mellis habet": the end which she brings persons to, or the issue of complying with her, is bitterness; such as loss of credit, substance, and health, remorse of conscience, and fear of death, corporeal and eternal; see ( Ecclesiastes 7:26 ) ; sharp as a twoedged sword;
which cuts every way; as committing sin with an harlot hurts both soul and body; and the reflection upon it is very cutting and distressing, and destroys all comfort and happiness. This is the reverse of her soothing and softening speech, which is as oil. Such also will be the sad case of the worshippers of the beast, or whore of Rome; who will gnaw their tongues for pain, and be killed with the twoedged sword that proceedeth out of the mouth of Christ, ( Revelation 16:10 ) ( Revelation 19:15 Revelation 19:21 ) .

Proverbios 5:4 In-Context

2 Entonces demostrarás discernimiento,
y tus labios expresarán lo que has aprendido.
3 Pues los labios de una mujer inmoral son tan dulces como la miel
y su boca es más suave que el aceite.
4 Pero al final ella resulta ser tan amarga como el veneno,
tan peligrosa como una espada de dos filos.
5 Sus pies descienden a la muerte,
sus pasos conducen derecho a la tumba.
6 Pues a ella no le interesa en absoluto el camino de la vida.
Va tambaleándose por un sendero torcido y no se da cuenta.
