Proverbs 5:1-6

1My son, be attentive to my wisdom [godly wisdom learned by costly experience], Incline your ear to my understanding;

2That you may exercise discrimination and discretion (good judgment), And your lips may reserve knowledge and answer wisely [to temptation].

3For the lips of an immoral woman drip honey [like a honeycomb] And her speech is smoother than oil;

4But in the end she is bitter like [the extract of] wormwood, Sharp as a two-edged sword.

5Her feet go down to death; Her steps take hold of Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead),

6So that she does not think [seriously] about the path of life; Her ways are aimless and unstable; you cannot know where her path leads.
