Proverbs 5

3 The words of an immoral woman

may be as sweet as honey

and as smooth as olive oil.

4 But all that you really get

from being with her

is bitter poison and pain.

5 If you follow her,

she will lead you down

to the world of the dead.

6 She has missed the path

that leads to life

and doesn’t even know it.

7 My son, listen to me

and do everything I say.

8 Stay away from a bad woman!

Don’t even go near the door

of her house.

9 You will lose your self-respect

and end up in debt

to some cruel person

for the rest of your life.
