Proverbs 5:1-6

1My son, be attentive to my wisdom; incline your ear to my understanding,

2that you may keep discretion, and your lips may guard knowledge.

3For the lips of a forbidden woman drip honey, and her speech is smoother than oil,

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

5Her feet go down to death; her steps follow the path to Sheol;

6she does not ponder the path of life; her ways wander, and she does not know it.
