Proverbs 5:4 in context

  1. 2That thou mayest preserve discretion, And that thy lips may keep knowledge.
  2. 3For the lips of a strange woman drop honey, And her mouth is smoother than oil:
  3. 4But in the end she is bitter as wormwood, Sharp as a two-edged sword.
  4. 5Her feet go down to death; Her steps take hold on Sheol;
  5. 6So that she findeth not the level path of life: Her ways are unstable, and she knoweth it not.
