1 My son, pay attention to my wisdom. Open your ears 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 so that you may act with foresight and speak with insight. that you may keep discretion, and your lips may guard knowledge. that you may maintain discretion and your lips may preserve knowledge.
3 The lips of an adulterous woman drip with honey. Her kiss 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 as bitter as wormwood, as 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.
5 Her feet descend to death. Her steps lead straight to hell. Her feet go down to death; her steps follow the path to Sheol; Her feet go down to death; her steps lead straight to the grave.
6 She doesn't even think about the path of life. Her steps wander, and she doesn't realize it. she does not ponder the path of life; her ways wander, and she does not know it. She gives no thought to the way of life; her paths wander aimlessly, but she does not know it.
7 But now, sons, listen to me, and do not turn away from what I say to you. And now, O sons, listen to me, and do not depart from the words of my mouth. Now then, my sons, listen to me; do not turn aside from what I say.
8 Stay far away from her. Do not even go near her door. Keep your way far from her, and do not go near the door of her house, Keep to a path far from her, do not go near the door of her house,
