She does not consider the path of life; she does not know that her ways are unstable.

Proverbs 5:6 in context

The verses around it, from Proverbs 5.

2 that you may maintain discretion and your lips may preserve knowledge.

3 Though the lips of the forbidden woman drip honey and her speech is smoother than oil,

4 in the end she is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a double-edged sword.

5 Her feet go down to death; her steps lead straight to Sheol.

6 She does not consider the path of life; she does not know that her ways are unstable.

7 So now, my sons, listen to me, and do not turn aside from the words of my mouth.

8 Keep your path far from her; do not go near the door of her house,

9 lest you concede your vigor to others, and your years to one who is cruel;

10 lest strangers feast on your wealth, and your labors enrich the house of a foreigner.
