But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword.

Verse 4 is found in chapter 5 of Proverbs. The chapter warns against sexual immorality through the image of a woman whose appearance may seem attractive but whose path ultimately leads to bitterness. The language of keeping one’s distance emphasizes that wisdom requires recognizing danger before approaching it. The result of ignoring instruction is described through delayed regret: whoever despises correction eventually laments before others the discipline he rejected.

aber hernach bitter wie Wermut und scharf wie ein zweischneidiges Schwert.
Mas su fin es amargo como el ajenjo, Agudo como cuchillo de dos filos.
Mais à la fin elle est amère comme l'absinthe, Aiguë comme un glaive à deux tranchants.
Ma il fine di essa è amaro come assenzio, Acuto come una spada a due tagli.
Mas o seu fim é amargoso como o absinto, agudo como a espada de dois gumes.
後來卻苦似茵蔯, 銳利如兩刃的劍。
