1 My son, pay attention to my wisdom. Incline your ear to my insight,
2 that you may maintain discretion and your lips may preserve knowledge.
3 For a seducing woman’s lips drip honey and her mouth is smoother than oil.
4 But in the end she is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a double-edged sword.
5 Her feet go down to death, her steps lead straight to Sheol.
6 She does not keep straight to the path of life, her paths are crooked —but she does not know it.
7 So now, my sons, listen to me and do not turn aside from the words of my mouth.
