Proverbs 5:3 In-Context
1
My son, give attention to my wisdom, Incline your ear to my understanding;
2
That you may observe discretion And your lips may reserve knowledge.
3
For the lips of an adulteress drip honey And smoother than oil is her speech;
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 take hold of Sheol.
