2that you may keep good understanding, and the discretion of my lips gives you a charge. Give no heed to a worthless woman;
3for honey drops from the lips of a harlot, who for a season pleases your palate:
4but afterwards you will find her more bitter than gall, and sharper than a two-edged sword.
5For the feet of folly lead those who deal with her down to the grave with death; and her steps are not established.
6For she goes not upon the paths of life; but her ways are slippery, and not easily known.
7Now then, my son, hear me, and make not my words of none effect.
