“But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a twoedged sword.”
Proverbs 5:4 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 5:4
The adulteress's end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword. What began with honey-sweetness (v.3) ends in bitterness and death. The two-edged sword imagery emphasizes fatal consequences - sexual sin kills spiritually and often physically through disease, violence, and destruction of relationships. The contrast between initial pleasure and ultimate pain exposes sin's deceptive nature.
