Proverbs 5:6
Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, that thou canst not know them.
KJV
Per semitam vitæ non ambulant ; vagi sunt gressus ejus et investigabiles.
Vulgate
ὁδοὺς γὰρ ζωῆς οὐκ ἐπέρχεται, σφαλεραὶ δὲ αἱ τροχιαὶ αὐτῆς καὶ οὐκ εὔγνωστοι.
LXX
So that she findeth not the level path of life: Her ways are unstable, andshe knoweth it not.
