Proverbs 5

3 For the lips of an immoral woman may taste as sweet as honey, the kisses of her mouth may be as smooth as oil, 4 but in the end what you get from her is the bitterness of wormwood and the sharp pain of being cut with a two-edged sword. 5 She leads you down to death; she takes you down to the grave. 6 She doesn’t follow the path that leads to life—she wanders away and doesn’t even know she’s lost.

7 Now, my son,*5:7. The Hebrew has the plural "sons" here, but for the rest of the chapter uses singular pronouns, so "son" is used here, following the Septuagint and the Vulgate. listen to me; don’t reject what I have taught you. 8 Stay far away from her! Don’t go near the door of her house! 9 Otherwise you’ll surrender your honor to others, and your character to cruel people.
