Proverbs 5:1
World English Bible
Previous Chapter Previous Verse Full Chapter Next Verse Next Chapter
1 My son, pay attention to my wisdom. Turn your ear to my understanding:
2 That you may maintain discretion, That your lips may preserve knowledge.
3 For the lips of an adulteress drip honey. Her mouth is smoother than oil,
4 But in the end she is as bitter as wormwood, And as sharp as a two-edged sword.
5 Her feet go down to death. Her steps lead straight to Sheol.
6 She gives no thought to the way of life. Her ways are crooked, and she doesn`t know it.
7 Now therefore, my sons, listen to me. Don`t depart from the words of my mouth.
