1 My son, attend to my wisdom; incline thine ear to understanding: 2 To watch meditation, and thy lips shall guard knowledge. 3 For the lips of the strange woman will drop droppings of the honeycomb, and her palate is smooth above oil: 4 And her latter state being bitter as wormwood; sharp as a two-mouthed sword. 5 Her feet go down to death; her steps will hold fast to hades. 6 Lest thou shalt make level the path of life, her tracks wavered; thou wilt not know. 7 And now, ye sons, hear to me, and ye shall not depart from the words of my mouth. 8 Remove far off from her thy way, and thou shalt not draw near to the door of her house: Proverbs 5:1-8, Smith's Literal Translation.
