Proverbs 5:4
Compare all
2 That you may1 preserve discretion,
And your lips amay keep knowledge. 
3 aFor the lips of1 an immoral woman drip honey,
And her mouth is bsmoother than oil; 
4 But in the end she is bitter as wormwood,
Sharp as a two-edged sword.
5 Her feet go down to death,
aHer steps lay hold of1 hell. 
6 Lest you ponder her path of life—
Her ways are unstable;
You do not know them.
7 Therefore hear me now, my children,
And do not depart from the words of my mouth.
8 Remove your way far from her,
And do not go near the door of her house,
9 Lest you give your1 honor to others,
And your years to the cruel one; 
10 Lest aliens be filled with your1 wealth,
And your labors go to the house of a foreigner; 
11 And you mourn at last,
When your flesh and your body are consumed,
12 And say:
“How I have hated instruction,
And my heart despised correction!
13 I have not obeyed the voice of my teachers,
Nor inclined my ear to those who instructed me!
14 I was on the verge of total ruin,
In the midst of the assembly and congregation.”
15 Drink water from your own cistern,
And running water from your own well.
16 Should your fountains be dispersed abroad,
1Streams of water in the streets?
