In Proverbs 5:3-6, the Bible tells us that the lips of the adulteress drip honey, her speech is smoother than oil, but in the end she is bitter as gall, sharp as double edged sword, her feet go down to death and her steps lead straight to grave; she gives no thought to the way of life; her paths are crooked, but she knows it not. Only the simple get caught!

…”death will comes soon to hush us along

Sweeter than honey and bitter as gall

love is a pastime that never will pall

Sweeter than honey and bitter as gall

Cupid he rules us all”.
