Proverbs 5:1-6

1My son, pay attention to my wisdom; listen closely to my understanding

2so that you may maintain discretion and your lips safeguard knowledge.

3Though the lips of the forbidden woman drip honey and her words are smoother than oil,

4in the end she’s as bitter as wormwood and as sharp as a double-edged sword.

5Her feet go down to death; her steps head straight for Sheol.

6She doesn’t consider the path of life; she doesn’t know that her ways are unstable.
