Proverbs 5:3-14 (BSB) | TrulyRandomVerse

3

Though the lips of the forbidden woman drip honey and her speech is smoother than oil,

4

in the end she is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a double-edged sword.

5

Her feet go down to death; her steps lead straight to Sheol.

6

She does not consider the path of life; she does not know that her ways are unstable.

7

So now, my sons, listen to me, and do not turn aside from the words of my mouth.

8

Keep your path far from her; do not go near the door of her house,

9

lest you concede your vigor to others, and your years to one who is cruel;

10

lest strangers feast on your wealth, and your labors enrich the house of a foreigner.

11

At the end of your life you will groan when your flesh and your body are spent,

12

and you will say, “How I hated discipline, and my heart despised reproof!

13

I did not listen to the voice of my teachers or incline my ear to my mentors.

14

I am on the brink of utter ruin in the midst of the whole assembly.”
