Proverbs 5:1-6
1My son, 1pay attention to my wisdom, 2Incline your ear to my understanding,2So that you may 3maintain discretion And your 4lips may comply with knowledge.3For the lips of an 56adulteress 7drip honey, And her 8speech is 9smoother than oil;4But in the end she is 10bitter as wormwood, 11Sharp as a two-edged sword.5Her feet 12go down to death, Her steps take hold of Sheol.613She does not ponder the 14path of life; Her ways are 15unstable, she 16does not know it.
