Reminds me of a slightly more reliable source...

For the lips of an immoral woman are as sweet as honey, and her mouth is smoother than oil. But in the end she is as bitter as poison, as dangerous as a double-edged sword. Her feet go down to death; her steps lead straight to the grave.

I can't imagine it either.

I have three daughters, one is a teenager. I tell you the truth, I would rather not live without them. A son as well. They are arrows in the hand of a warrior and happy is the man whose quiver us full.

You need to know how make that arrow straight. it will go in the right direction after you spend time shaping it.

Your statements seem to contradict each other.

Dad saw a stranger and perceived it as a threat. Responded to the threat, not out of rage. Seems reasonable to me.
