Strange Woman
My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding:
That thou mayest regard discretion, and that thy lips may keep knowledge.
For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil:
But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword.
Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.
Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, that thou canst not know them.
Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth.
Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house:
Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel:
Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours be in the house of a stranger;
And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed
Those verses are gotten from Proverbs chapter 5 the Holy Bible and this image depicts the resemblance of the strange woman luring young men to her abode, with her seductive charisma, only to end up snatching their soul(illustrated with the skull she's holding). I call her the strange woman.
I love the art, entwined in precision yet heavy in depth.
Thanks for the contest
Cheers
Interesting, I never imagined that my image would arouse biblical allegory... Perhaps the verses refer to Lilith?. Entry accepted! Thank you very much!
Perhaps...
Thank you too
