Proverbs 5:3-14
Proverbs 5:3-14 NASB2020
For the lips of an adulteress drip honey, And her speech is smoother than oil; But in the end she is bitter as wormwood, Sharp as a two-edged sword. Her feet go down to death, Her steps take hold of Sheol. She does not ponder the path of life; Her ways are unstable, she does not know it. ¶Now then, my sons, listen to me And do not turn away from the words of my mouth. Keep your way far from her, And do not go near the door of her house, Otherwise you will give your vigor to others, And your years to the cruel one; And strangers will be filled with your strength, And your hard-earned possessions will go to the house of a foreigner; And you will groan in the end, When your flesh and your body are consumed; And you say, “How I hated instruction! And my heart disdainfully rejected rebuke! “I did not listen to the voice of my teachers, Nor incline my ear to my instructors! “I was almost in total ruin In the midst of the assembly and congregation.”
