1 My child, be attentive to my wisdom, and to my understanding incline your ear;
2 in order to keep prudence, and knowledge will guard your lips.
3 For the lips of the strange woman will drip honey, and smoother than oil is her mouth.
4 But her end is bitter as the wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword.
5 Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold of Sheol.
