Proverbs 5:2 in context

  1. 1My son, pay attention to my wisdom.
    Turn your ear to my understanding,
  2. 2that you may maintain discretion,
    that your lips may preserve knowledge.
  3. 3For the lips of an adulteress drip honey.
    Her mouth is smoother than oil,
  4. 4but in the end she is as bitter as wormwood,
    and as sharp as a two-edged sword.
