Proverbs 5:3-13

CAB(i) 3 for honey drops from the lips of a harlot, who for a season pleases your palate; 4 but afterwards you will find her more bitter than gall, and sharper than a two-edged sword. 5 For the feet of folly lead those who deal with her down to the grave with death, and her steps are not established. 6 For she goes not upon the paths of life; but her ways are slippery, and not easily known. 7 Now then my son, hear me, and make not my words of no effect. 8 Remove your way far from her; draw not near to the doors of her house: 9 lest you give away your life to others, and your substance to the merciless; 10 lest strangers be filled with your strength, and your labors come into the houses of strangers; 11 And you repent at last, when the flesh of your body is consumed, 12 and you shall say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart avoided reproofs! 13 I heard not the voice of him that instructed me, and taught me, neither did I incline my ear.
