1 My sonne geue heede vnto my wisdome, and bowe thyne eare vnto my prudence: 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 thou mayest regarde good counsell, and that thy lippes may kepe knowledge. 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 lippes of a straunge woman are a dropping hony combe, and her throte is more glistering then oyle: 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 at the laste she is as bitter as wormewood, and as sharpe as a two edged sworde. 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.
