| 1 | My son, be attentive to my wisdom [godly wisdom learned by costly experience], Incline your ear to my understanding; | My son, be attentive to my wisdom; incline your ear to my understanding, | My son, pay attention to my wisdom, turn your ear to my words of insight, | |
| 2 | That you may exercise discrimination and discretion (good judgment), And your lips may reserve knowledge and answer wisely [to temptation]. | that you may keep discretion, and your lips may guard knowledge. | that you may maintain discretion and your lips may preserve knowledge. | |
| 3 | For the lips of an immoral woman drip honey [like a honeycomb] And her speech is smoother than oil; | For the lips of a forbidden woman drip honey, and her speech is smoother than oil, | For the lips of the adulterous woman drip honey, and her speech is smoother than oil; | |
| 4 | But in the end she is bitter like [the extract of] wormwood, Sharp as a two-edged sword. | but in the end she is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword. | but in the end she is bitter as gall, sharp as a double-edged sword. | |
