Proverbs 5:1-6

1My son, pay attention to my wisdom. Open your ears to my understanding

2so that you may act with foresight and speak with insight.

3The lips of an adulterous woman drip with honey. Her kiss is smoother than oil,

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

5Her feet descend to death. Her steps lead straight to hell.

6She doesn’t even think about the path of life. Her steps wander, and she doesn’t realize it.
