Proverbs 5

Proverbs 5:6
She does not ponder the path of life;
Her ways are unstable, she does not know it.
First off, "she" is an adulteress.  I don't want people to think this is about women in general, or an alliteration of wisdom.  The verse says she doesn't ponder the path of life.  I take this to mean she has no real plans.  She's just goes from one thrill to another, whatever it takes to make her happy.

Since she has no plan, and thrills can't last, her path is unstable.  Sooner or later, she's left without the fun, and reality hits hard.  However, she thinks that will never happen, that she can just keep going and going on her merry way.  But eventually, life will happen, and then she's going to be risking a big fall.
