the lips of an adulteress drip honey
and her speech is smoother than oil;
but in the end she is bitter as gall,
sharp as a double-edged sword.
Her feet go down to death;
her steps lead straight to the grave.
She gives no thought to the way of life;
her paths are crooked, but she knows it not.
Now then, my sons, listen to me;
do not turn aside from what I say.
Keep to a path far from her,
do not go near the door of her house
lest you give your best strength to others
and your years to one who is cruel,
Do not lust in your heart after her beauty
or let her captivate you with her eyes,
for the prostitute reduces you to a loaf of bread,
and the adulteress preys upon your very life.
Can a man scoop fire into his lap
without his clothes being burned?
Can a man walk on hot coals
without his feet being scorched?
o is he who sleeps with another man's wife.
no one who touches her will go unpunished.
jealousy arouses a husband's fury,
and he will show no mercy when he takes revenge.

basicly the bible says if a relationship seems to good to be true it most likely is because love is not without adversity and the scriptures tell us Men and women what to look for when we look for love and how wer know if they are fake in their words or real.
