Proverbs 5:2-7 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

2. so that you may guard your thinking, and so that your lips may preserve discipline. Do not pay attention to the deceit of a woman.

3. For the lips of a loose woman are like a dripping honeycomb, and her voice is smoother than oil.

4. But in the end, she is as bitter as wormwood, and as sharp as a two-edged sword.

5. Her feet descend into death, and her steps reach even to Hell.

6. They do not walk along the path of life; her steps are wandering and untraceable.

7. Therefore, my son, listen to me now, and do not withdraw from the words of my mouth.
