Proverbs 5:1-6 ▼

1 My child, be attentive to my wisdom; incline your ear to my understanding,

2 so that you may hold on to prudence, and your lips may guard knowledge.

3 For the lips of a loose woman drip honey, and her speech is smoother than oil;

4 but in the end she is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword.

5 Her feet go down to death; her steps follow the path to Sheol.

6 She does not keep straight to the path of life; her ways wander, and she does not know it.
