New Testament

Proverbs 5:1-7 New English Translation (NET)

1. My child, be attentive to my wisdom,pay close attention to my understanding,

2. in order to safeguard discretion,and that your lips may guard knowledge.

3. For the lips of the adulterous woman drip honey,and her seductive words are smoother than olive oil,

4. but in the end she is bitter as wormwood,sharp as a two-edged sword.

5. Her feet go down to death;her steps lead straight to the grave.

6. Lest she should make level the path leading to life,her paths are unstable but she does not know it.

7. So now, children, listen to me;do not turn aside from the words I speak.
