Proverbs 5:1-6

Common English Bible w/ Apocrypha CEBA

1 My son, pay attention to my wisdom. Bend your ear to what I know,

2 so you might remain discreet, and your lips might guard knowledge.

3 The lips of a mysterious woman drip honey, and her tongue is smoother than oil,

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

5 Her feet go down to death; her steps lead to the grave.

6 She doesn't stay on the way of life. Her paths wander, but she doesn't know it.

New International Version NIV

1 My son, pay attention to my wisdom, turn your ear to my words of insight,

2 that you may maintain discretion and your lips may preserve knowledge.

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

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

5 Her feet go down to death; her steps lead straight to the grave.

6 She gives no thought to the way of life; her paths wander aimlessly, but she does not know it.
