Proverbs 5:1-6 ▼

1 My son, pay attention to my wisdom, Incline your ear to my understanding,

2 So that you may maintain discretion And your lips may comply with knowledge.

3 For the lips of an adulteress drip honey, And her speech is smoother than oil;

4 But in the end she is bitter as wormwood, Sharp as a two-edged sword.

5 Her feet go down to death, Her steps take hold of Sheol.

6 She does not ponder the path of life; Her ways are unstable, she does not know it.
