Proverbs 5:2-10 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

2. that thou mayest keep reflection, and that thy lips may preserve knowledge.

3. For the lips of the strange woman drop honey, and her mouth is smoother than oil;

4. but her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword.

5. Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on Sheol.

6. Lest she should ponder the path of life, her ways wander, she knoweth not whither.

7. And now, children, hearken unto me, and depart not from the words of my mouth.

8. Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house:

9. lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel;

10. lest strangers be filled with thy wealth, and the fruits of thy toil come into the house of a stranger;
