Proverbs 5:2 in context

  1. 1My son, attend unto my wisdom; Incline thine ear to my understanding:
  2. 2That thou mayest preserve discretion, And that thy lips may keep knowledge.
  3. 3For the lips of a strange woman drop honey, And her mouth is smoother than oil:
  4. 4But in the end she is bitter as wormwood, Sharp as a two-edged sword.
