But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a twoedged sword.
But her end is bitter as wormwood - (Ecclesiastes 7:26). The flesh promises every delight, but it leaves bitter dregs (Mercer). The strange woman's own end is bitter, and such must be also that of her follower. When she falls, so must he also.
Sharp as a two-edged sword - therefore only to be foiled with "the Word of God," which is "quick and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword" (Hebrews 4:12).
