Proverbs 5:1-8 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

1. Son, listen to this piece of wisdom from me. Pay attention to what I know to be true.

2. Remember to live wisely, and what you learn will keep your lips from saying the wrong thing.

3. Now, another man’s wife might be very charming, and the words from her lips so sweet and inviting.

4. But in the end, she will bring only bitterness and pain. It will be like bitter poison and a sharp sword.

5. She is on a path leading to death, and she will lead you straight to the grave.

6. Don’t follow her. She has lost her way and does not even know it. Be careful. Stay on the road that leads to life.

7. Now, my sons, listen to me. Don’t forget the words I say.

8. Stay away from the woman who commits adultery. Don’t even go near her house.
