Proverbs 5:1-8 ▼

1 My son, pay attention to my wisdom; listen carefully to my wise counsel.

2 Then you will show discernment, and your lips will express what you’ve learned.

3 For the lips of an immoral woman are as sweet as honey, and her mouth is smoother than oil.

4 But in the end she is as bitter as poison, as dangerous as a double-edged sword.

5 Her feet go down to death; her steps lead straight to the grave.

6 For she cares nothing about the path to life. She staggers down a crooked trail and doesn’t realize it.

7 So now, my sons, listen to me. Never stray from what I am about to say:

8 Stay away from her! Don’t go near the door of her house!
