1 My son! to my wisdom give attention, To mine understanding incline thine ear, 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 To observe thoughtfulness, And knowledge do thy lips keep. 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 a strange woman drop honey, And smoother than oil is her mouth, 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 And her latter end is bitter as wormwood, Sharp as a sword with mouths. 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.
